Kalyn 10-11 weeks

Smiley :). She loves to kick and play now. She's going to be a very active baby once she learns to crawl!


Our first trip to the lake. It was a little too hot so we had to keep her in the shade and splash some water on her to keep her cool in just her diaper.


Hanging out with Mom on the property in the new sunhat from Grandma.

Aunt Marika sure loves baby Kalyn. She came out to visit again this weekend.
The family on our new staircase. Me, Kalyn, Dan, Paige, and Ryan. His older girls were in town for the weekend and had a fun time at the waterpark nearby before coming over to the property for a bbq.

Look, my new rug :)! Thanks to Marika's dental assistant Kalyn has a cozy rug to play on instead of our hard cement floor or the not-so-soft carpet upstairs.


I finally fit into my new p.j.s. They make me look like a little pink jailbird.


It's a little bright in the TX sun. This is Kalyn's favorite position so that she can check out the world around her.


This bouncy seat used to swallow me up. Now it fits perfect and I love it!


Napping in Uncle Jerry's shed up on the property.

Kalyn 8-9 weeks old

Kalyn at her 2 month well baby visit. Long and slender. She is in the 85 percentile for height and 25 percentile for weight. She's healthy, happy, and growing like a weed. She's now ten pounds and 2 feet tall!
"Mom, please don't make me go get my shots!!" This was pre-immunization shots. She did pretty well with her shots but screamed a bit. She really did much better with her shots than she did when the Dr tried to look in her ears a couple days later to make sure she didn't have a little ear infection. I had no idea she had such lungs on her, but she sure used every bit of her lungs to let us know she didn't like having her head held still for the Dr.

Big sister Paige helping out :).
Kalyn's no longer swallowed up when she sits in her bouncy seat which she now enjoys and will sit in with us while we eat dinner some nights.

Kalyn's first real time going out to dinner was with Mom, Dad, Marika, Jerry, and Grandma at the Gristmill in Gruene,TX. It was an early celebration of mother's day for Grandma since she was in town visiting.
Believe it or not it was chilly so Aunt Marika bundled Kalyn up in her jacket. The TX heat is about to set in for summer.
Kalyn getting ready to go for a walk in her jogger stroller. Hopefully it won't be long before I can run with her in it.
Just hanging out looking cute :)
Happy baby playing in her boppy making faces at mom :).

Bathtime has become one of Kalyn's favorite events of the day. She loves the water.
Kalyn after her bath just hanging out in her towel waiting for lotion and clean p.j.s.
Her new favorite position to nap is on her tummy and sometimes with her butt in the air. She has started to sleep through the night since exactly 8 weeks. Three nights in a row now she's slept for 5-7 hours. I woke up and had to check on her just so I knew she was okay, and she was just sleeping away. Unbelievable! We are hoping it continues!
Snoozing in the car.
One of her favorite places to be -- in dad's arms :)
