My Beautiful Baby

Stand Up!!

Kylie's newest accomplishment

Last night she crawled over to a box in the living room and pulled herself up. She then bent down and sat down. She is very proud of herself, and so are we. She is getting so big! We also had to lower her bed so she can't climb out. We actually had to lower it by two levels because she is so tall. Can't believe my little baby is going to be a year old in less than three months.

9 Months

Miss Kylie Jo is now 9 months old. Where has the time gone? She is growing up so fast! She had her 9 month check up this past Friday and she is 15 lbs and 30 inches tall. Six more inches and she will be three feet tall!!! I think she weighs she about the same as a 6 month old. The doctor said her height and weight are growing at the same speed so everything is good. She eats every three hours so I know she gets plenty to eat. She loves to eat!!!

Boston Red Sox Baby

Kylie loves the Boston Red Sox just like her Daddy!

Smiles

Kylie loves the camera! Even when she is crying all I have to do is get out the camera or my cellphone with the camera, and she starts smiling. She is such a ham! I love her big smile. She smiles so big that it makes my cheeks hurt. These pictures are not the best quality, but they are still cute.

Can't believe my little baby is almost 8 months old! Time is going by way too fast! She is almost crawling. She likes to get on all fours and rock back and forth, and then she launches herself in the direction she wants to go. Any day now she will be crawling all over the place.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday to the greatest Mom and YaYa in the world!!!!!!!!!!!

We love you!

love,

Kylie Jo, Lindsey, and Joe

Six Month Checkup

Kylie had her six month checkup on January 8th. She is 26 1/4 inches tall and 13lbs 3oz. She is tiny! I think she takes after her mama (at least when I was younger). The doctor said her weight doesn't really match her height. She needs to weigh more. She eats every three hours, but is constantly kicking or moving around so she doesn't gain any weight (I wish I had that problem). The doctor also started her on solid foods which he said will help her gain weight. We started her on oatmeal which she likes, and yesterday she got her first taste of bananas and strawberries. I think she really liked that. We are trying to give her a new kind of food every week to get her to try everything. We want to make sure she isn't allergic to anything. It didn't take her long to master the spoon. She gets excited when I am making her oatmeal and will try and get the bowl before I can mix it up. She eats a bowl full in less than 15 minutes. We got her a high chair yesterday so now she can eat at the table like us. My dad bought her the high chair and I know she is going to love eating at the table like everyone else does (when we do get to eat as a family).
