The first few days of the WI Trip

We spent the first few days with Josh's brother Matt, and his wife Lauren, and their two kids, Braiden and Caleb. Here the boys are playing with Kylee.
Suprisingly throughout the entire trip Kylee never developed stranger anxiety. She pretty much loved everyone.

Caleb and a very sleepy Kylee

back when she only had two teeth...her third and fourth teeth started coming in the day we left for WI, but came in very slowly. cant even see them here.

crazy hair!

Josh and Kylee's first train ride

Ric and Jean and Jack picked us up in Chicago from the train station. (THANKS!) We spent our first night with Ric and Jean and the boys.

Isnt this precious?

Indiana Jones/Kylee

You would think after four days of traveling and getting two new teeth she would be grouchy...but she wasnt. such a love!

Can you tell Auntie Jean LOVES her?

and Ladies and Gentlemen...the best part of the WI trip, our fishing trip. This is the day we leave for our fishing trip in MN

silly face

We all got together to celebrate Evelynn's third birthday before we headed up to go fishing. Happy 3rd Miss Evie Jean! this was the only time that we were able to get the whole Johnston clan together

Alaina and Kylee

All the Johnston grandkids

the clan

Kylee started crawling on her tummy the day we left for WI, Aug 10th. She had been crawling/scootin on her back since she was 5 months old. She crawled across a room for the first time at Matt and Lauren's house, with Braiden's encouragement :)

Its been awhile

Josh took this on his cell so its sideways. Anyways, Grammy, Wendy and I tried to get Kylee to do this for an entire weekend, and she never figured out how to do it. Then yesterday we were visiting Daddy at work and just like that, Kylee figured out how to do this. She's so smart :) Just like her momma. Anyways, once I get the pictures organized, I will start posting trip pictures. Over the last month Kylee starting walking (supported), got 5 new teeth, and she says "Da Da" and signs now.

ha ha Kylee playing video games
Kylee fell asleep playing with her toys in her crib

Kylee has been scooting on her back for a few months now. She has been trying to crawl on her tummy for a long time, but never has gotten it down. This morning I tried to get her to crawl to me (and a toy) and she did! YAY!!!!

Here's a few pics taken over the last few days. I have a lot of stuff to do before we leave in 24 hours...

Med School/Kaka-Ako Waterfront

While driving around after a Sunday lunch, we stumbled upon a Med School on the outskirts of Honolulu. Beautiful scenery! This place is really great for watching surfers, too

my little cutie pie

We went to Dave and Busters for someone's going away party. Kylee is doing so good sitting up on her own she sat in a restaurant high chair for the first time

I wish she would have told me we were sticking our tongues out in this picture!

Sitting perfectly!

Just in the last week Kylee went from barely being able to sit to being a great sitter!
She still cant pull herself up to a sitting position but once she's there she's happy

ok ok...thats pudding on her lips. i couldnt help it. her eyes follow me when i eat.

Kylee sleeping in our bed with us

Josh got a picture of her smiling in her sleep
