Buenvenidos a Miami

Kylie and I made our first trip to Miami and oh boy after three months of not making the drive I forgot how far away it was! We went to Kylie's Daycare "Little Cruisers", which is on the first floor of my building, to meet her teachers. After a small interview and evaluation they confirmed our beliefs that Kylie is on track for early admissions to Harvard.

We also went upstairs and met everyone on the 6th floor. Kylie seemed to enjoy herself and even talked and smiled at mostly everyone. On occasion she cried. Amazingly when she met Jeannette (who was wearing a Gator Santa hat) she kept screaming. Good baby knows not to like the Gators.

Gator Lady (aka Jeannette)

We had a impromptu meeting with co-workers and friends and she had a lot to contribute.

Dawn and Kelly

I think she liked the office and her new daycare. I am not sure I am ready to go back to work yet. This trip made it all a reality! I thought of one thing to cheer me up, I am thinking of investing in Rosetta Stone software to learn Chinese. Kylie could speak Chinese, Spanish and English. Watch out Harvard!

Yes this is Kylie wearing a CORAL (not pink) Dress.. Had to look good for work!

Happy Sunday

Here is Kylie just relaxing on a Sunday and of course watching Mr. Turtle

She now comforts herself with her fist.. She has not figured out her fingers quite yet.

Busy Week

This week has been one busy week here at the Lum household! Kylie and I are happy to report that the holiday cards are in the mail. She helped by licking each and everyone of them (okay maybe not!). We have been busy putting up our Christmas decorations around the house. Kylie and I decorated the tree to surprise Brian when he came home the other night. You probably would love to see a picture of Kylie in her Baby Bjorn with me and the tree right? Well, I haven't mastered taking pictures of Kylie and I alone yet and I all I got was a picture of was my feet.

Kylie seems to be growing like a weed this week. I am amazed at how long she is getting. Sadly we had to go through her drawer and retire some of her clothes, they just don't fit! Kylie's favorite thing now is either her bouncy chair or the baby bjorn. She also loves to look at herself in the mirror and spends a lot of time cooing and talking to herself in the mirror. She is starting to kick like crazy, Brian thinks maybe she is ready to play a little soccer. I think maybe a swimmer! She notices everything around her as we made trips to Publix, Walgreens, CVS, the Library in the last couple of days she soaks it all in. I personally like when she is tired of waiting in line that she lets out a nice wailing scream. It usually speeds up the line. She did this at the drive-thru of Starbucks and the lady starting laughing thinking maybe Kylie needed a latte or something. Last but not least she has found her hands. She tries to put her whole fist in her mouth or a finger or two. She also loves to hold onto things.

Here is a short short video of her holding on to her new toy from Auntie Ro

Tummy Time

Kylie is getting better and better at holding up her head. Check out the latest video.

Amazing Pictures

As mentioned in previous posts Thanksgiving was a blast. I forgot to mention that Kylie and Zoe had paparazzi following them everywhere. Cousin Jessie and her husband Cousin Will enjoy photography as their hobby. Click HERE to check out Will's Website. We are fortunate to have great photographers in the family and our good friend Nancy too (Still can't show you the Christmas pictures!) Kylie is set for life!! Here are a few of the many awesome shots that they took.

Hard at Work

As my maternity leave is almost up Kylie and I were busy today trying to be engaged on a business call or two.

Here is Kylie showing me how easy it is to do a Webinar from the comfort of home

In this shot Kylie is having her own little conference with Mr. Turtle (Apparently she didn't like what he had to say towards the end!)

Two Month Doctor Visit

Yesterday was Kylie's Two Month Doctor Visit and she was a trooper. She now weighs 9lb 10oz and is 22 and 1/4 inches long. Her weight is in the 20th percentile and length about 35th percentile.

The doctor says she is growing great and she passed her 2 month milestones (cooing, holding her head up some, following objects with her eyes). After the doctor came in and did his assessment we all geared up for the five shots she had to have. Brian held her cute little hands and I stood as far away as possible as I couldn't watch. I was shocked that she handled them so well and was happy in seconds.

Here is a picture of her waiting for the doctor to come in...
