1st Foods

At Ky's 4 month doctor appointment, we discussed how her eating habits had changed. After nursing her, she was still hungry for more. Dr. Humphrey encouraged us to begin supplementing with either formula. She also informed us that we could begin solid foods if we felt Kylie was ready. ...and she was definetly ready! She had been eyeing us eat for so long, and had recently began to motion her hand toward her mouth when we were eating, as if she wanted some too.

After this appointment, I rushed out to the store to buy all the supplies we would need to start this new adventure. But we didn't actually get around to using them for another couple weeks. Watch our little girl in action! At first, she sucked the spoon like she was nursing, but by the end of the meal she had it down. She would open wide for the spoon to enter her mouth, then close and swallow.

Here are some of the pictures.

Sitting Pretty

We had so much fun this morning. We read some books, had a little bit of tummy time, and sat up by herself for the first time! Well, the first time I had seen. According to Dan she had been sitting up by herself on the couch for a few days, but I had missed it while I was at work. (Prior to this, we had an agreement where he wouldn't tell me when she accomplished major developemental steps....but now that's no longer the deal. Mommy has to know!)

We had been sitting her up against the back of the couch in the corner, so she was supported - but today, she just went for it. She leaned forward and sat up by herself. A little wobbly at first, but she quickly found her balance!

My Beautiful Daughter

During Grandma Grove's visit, we had a lot of fun. I had to work some of the time, but that didn't stop the two from bonding. Ky went on many fun walks, enjoyed some time at the Eagle Farmers Market, and even had her first trip to the zoo! Of course, she was too little to appreciate the animals, but she did have a good time. We even ran into my OBGYN, Dr. Grissom, who loved seeing how much Kylie had grown.

Here are some pictures taken by my mom during her stay. I'm pretty positive I have the most beautiful daughter in the world.

1st Rolls

We were so excited when Kylie rolled over by herself for the first time. Yes, it was just a half roll, from belly to back, but we're counting it! She is so amazing and growing so fast!

WARNING: Turn the volume WAY down. I get very excited at the end of the video...

Bath Time

Here are a few pics of Kylie from after her bath time. She loves the water - I think she finds it relaxing. And to help her relax even more from her busy day as a growing baby, I give her baby message - which she loves!

Here's Ky at 2 weeks post-bath. Her umbilical chord didn't fall off til a few days after!
3 Months. We love the hooded towel look.

Getting ready for baby message!

And we finish with a little tummy time and back rubs.

Candy Land

This little outfit was a gift from Cindy at the AT shower. Kylie loved it, and looked super cute in it too. We had multiple photo shoots in it, but these came out the best. Probably because Daddy was there to entertain her. (Kylie absolutely adores Dan and gets such a kick out of him. He can make her crack up like no one else.) We fall deeper and deeper in love with her every day!

Excuse us Mom!

Ann Taylor Baby Shower

The Ann Taylor girls were so nice to throw Jia and I a double baby shower! Jia had her little Shae'a about 1 month before Kylie. It was so much fun being pregnant with her, and finally getting the two babies to meet, face to face!

Kylie was slightly out of sorts that night because Mommy gave her a bath before we left. Usually, bath time means bed time is soon, so Ky was not happy when Mommy woke her up to go party. ...I learned my lesson, and now we don't do bath time if we are needing to be awake and happy. Poor baby. She was a trooper though and stayed awake for most of it. She couldn't pass up meeting most the cute ladies I work with!

Here she is with my girl Danna.
There's baby Shae!

Cindy was so great with the babies. It was so cute because Shae kept reaching for Kylie's hand, but she was not having it. So not interested...for now anyway.

(I wish there were more pictures! I remembered to take them at first, but we all got to talking, and before you know it, the night was over.)

Thank you Maddy, Sarah, Becky, Danna, Jia, Carmen, Jenn, Cathy and Cindy for a fun night and being so great with my baby girl!
