little Monkey

Kylee climbs everything these days.
taking a nap w/Nash

this is how you ride the quad right? the funny thing is, she'll turn around and push the "go" button

she finds these beads wherever i hide them and wears them everywhere, everyday

Kylee's first time using a fork

i found a site that recommended using a suction bowl for teaching kids how to use utensils, and it really worked. her eating skills arent perfect but she's certaintly trying

kylee loves books. she's so cute she always reads them and babbles at the same time, like she is reading out loud

20 weeks!

20 weeks along...halfway done! i still feel great. this pregnancy is so different from the last i cannot believe it. in the last week the baby has started moving a lot, and i started having braxton hicks contractions.
20 week ultrasound went great, mom and baby look very healthy. did it in about half the time of Kylee's ultrasound. this baby was very cooperative with the ultrasound tech

18 weeks

18 weeks and 3 days...almost halfway!!! I feel fantastic so far. I had about 3 weeks of terrible morning sickness, but that went away about a week ago. I've only gained a few pounds, I'm still running 3 x a week, and I barely feel pregnant (other than this lovely growing bump) lets hope the second half of this pregnancy goes so smoothly

little smiler :) she loves those beads. josh got them for her at work and wherever i put them, she finds them and puts them on.

this is how she rides her 4 wheeler. training for the x games. she's practicing her superman!

my little love. she's doing so great. walking, trying to run. loves reading books. she knows what a lot of words mean, and recently she signed "pretty" to me!!!

kylee started walking while grammy and grandpa were here. thanks for all your hard work with her!!!

Luau Day with Grandpa and Grammy

We started off luau day with a tour around the island, stopping at sandy beach and the blowhole, two beautiful scenic spots on the east side of the island
although rough, the water is incredibly beautiful on this side of the island

hi mom and dad!

josh apparently didnt know he was about to get splashed here. lol.

such a good sport!

climbing back up the rough terrain. Kylee and I couldnt go down...

we also went to bellows air force beach, another beautiful beach on the east side. although the water is really cold this time of year, 'lil miss kylee was all about swimming!

oh...here comes a wave...

that. was. not. cool.

Grammy was the only one brave enough to go far out in the water. i swear the ocean is so beautiful here it looks fake

until kylee started walking, this was her preferred way of getting around, sort of an ape man crawl

hi Kylee!!!

we also stopped at the pali lookout so Grandpa and Grammy could see the northeast side of the island from high above

this is showing Kaneohe, where Uncle Ric (Laura's side) and Papa George (Josh's side) were both stationed as Marines at the same time...although they didnt know each other

finally...after all the touring and a nap, we made it to the luau. Kylee, who loves all fruits and veggies and normally pineapple, made a sour face. too cute!

as the sun was setting... it wasnt as good as the paradise cove luau, but germaine's luau was still good

Grandpa and Grammy enjoying beautiful Hawaii!

Kylee loved the luau and watched most of itwhen she got fussy Grammy danced with her in the back

well...that was one day of Grandpa and Grammy's trip. Plenty more pictures to come. We miss them already!!!

moving

Our move went awesome. May have been in part cuz i'm uber OCD, but friday we got our keys, moved much of the small/fragile stuff (i.e. clothes on hangers, glass shelves, awkwardly shaped baby items/fridge/freezer/grill) and unpacked all that. saturday josh and friends got right to work bright and early loading and unloading the U-Haul, and I unpacked as they brought in. Kylee was great through all of this. loved all the new space to crawl and all the new stuff to explore. when we went back sunday to clean up, we stuck kylee in one room by herself with toys, and she played for awhile, then this is how i found her
moving day i was making last minute small stuff trips with the car, 'lil miss kylee also did great

had to get a picture of her eating ravioli. daddy decided not to put a bib on her. then i forgot to clean her white shirt. now, its in the trash

Yay my little Vikings fan! since we didnt have cable hooked up on sunday, friends invited us over at 8am to watch the game

Josh and Kylee playing on friday. funny that bringing her toys over was the main priority. but...she was happy so that was the important part. our living room is so long we made it half living room, half playroom. and the best part is i can see the playroom from the kitchen!

josh had to get creative on friday. we had kylee's milk and sippy cups at the new place, but the microwave was at our old place and kylee will only drink milk warm. (working on that) so josh sterilized a coke can, and warmed the milk up that way. my little mcguyver!

hope y'all had a great past week. grandpa and grammy get here in just 80 hours!

Monkey

Lately Kylee has been climbing on everything. I'm not sure where she got the idea...one day she just started to climb. It's cute...I remember when Alaina was starting to climb and she had no fear, just loved to climb, so its cute now to watch Kylee do the same.
Kylee wearing Daddy's beret

i was eating an apple for breakfast and she didnt want what she had (a cinnamon roll!)... she wanted my apple, so i gave it to her. she did great. that child loves fruit.

a few days ago while i was packing i emptied out kylee's room except for her old car seat and stroller. the dog we are babysitting and Nash loved the big empty room and played/fought for an hour. kylee climbed into her car seat to watch.

well, the car is all packed up, just waiting to pick up the keys tomorrow morning and start moving the small stuff friday. saturday we got the uhaul and many strong friends to move the big stuff. i'm gonna lose my internet in a few hours, so its time to do the last few things...pack up the computer and the tv and the baby's toys. Have a good week everyone!
