Kylee got her Easter present a day early...
She was really happy in it...shrieking and laughing the whole time.

Look at her cute little outfit!

We put Kylee in Easter pj's last night.

I meant to post all these pictures last night, but never got around to it. Since Kylee woke me up early I figured I would post before church. Happy Easter everyone! Today we celebrate the resurrection of Christ! And, as my husband pointed out last night, we better be also celebrating chocolate bunnies and jelly beans. Thanks Grandpa Mark and Grammy for sending us a huge Easter box filled with clothes, toys and candy! We wouldnt otherwise be celebrating because I didnt buy any :)

Josh was playing peek a boo with me. One of Kylee's favorite games!
I love this pacifier. It's so funny. Its clear...so you can see inside her mouth when she is sucking on it. Day 2 of taking a paci and doing all right.

The pink top has an easter bunny on it, although you cant really tell. I have a few outfits with bunnies on them so she will be wearing bunnies the next few days.

I keep trying to wear the sling with Kylee in it, but she hates her face or head being covered up. I loved Wendy's idea of carrying the baby around while doing housework (and the babies love that!) so I had to switch to just a front carrier. I guess I'll have to use this sling for my next baby...
Kylee rolls around everywhere now.

Kylee and Annelyse. Annelyse is our neighbor, and only 5 weeks behind Kylee. Her family got here right after we did so we are looking forward to our girls growing up together!

This is how I found my baby sleeping tonight. I tried a new pacifier tonight in hopes of getting her to take one (she still really doesnt). My hope is to fly somewhere at some point, and I think it will make it easier to fly if she takes a paci. We'll see tomorrow if she actually takes it again.

After her four month appt and shots, Kylee was a sleepy baby all day. I dont know what Josh's excuse was.
Nash is a very happy dog today. We had our neighbors dog for the past week, and their 18 month boy as well (for some of it), so Nash didnt get much attention in the past week. Today Mom and baby came home from the hospital so now Nash has an empty house again. Just the way he likes it.

Hi happy Kylee!!

We bought Kylee a little Vtech laptop a few days ago, she seems to like it. She loves anything that makes noise.

Here is a video of Daddy making Kylee laugh.

I took this picture of a centipede we found on our back lanai. Its about five inches long, and very poisonous. One reason for not living in Hawaii!
Josh and Kylee playing earlier today.

My cute little baby. Great Grandma Johnston pointed out to me that today she is four months old. Happy four months baby Kylee!!!

Kylee went to her first birthday party on Saturday. Here, she is sitting on the sleeping birthday boy. I wasnt able to go :(

Kylee in her johnny jumper that she got from Uncle Jake and Aunt Samantha. She loves it!

Usually she laughs and smiles and jumps around in it. Here she was about done with it.

The past week

I love this picture!

This is Deshaun...I've been watching him for the past week. Notice what he is playing drums on..

We found out last week that Kylee loves Henry Mancini. First, she stopped crying while he was on...then fell asleep.

OK ok...really...I see that you are outgrowing your bassinet. Now if I could just suck it up and know you'd be okay, I would move you to your own room.

Josh and I have had a very exciting week. First, our neighbor went into labor on Monday, and we have been watching her son and dog ever since. The next day, a close friend from San Antonio went into labor. Both had healthy baby girls! With three kids all day long (and Kylee and Deshaun not sleeping well at night), I've been too tired at night to post, so these pictures will have to tide you over for a few more days :)

Day at the beach

We went to Hickam Air Force Beach with our neighbors, spent almost four hours there today.
I think this is my new favorite picture of Kylee and Josh

Kylee got her feet wet, and didnt seem to mind at all.

After the beach and a bath, we went out to a famous Hamburger joint here. I love Kylee's outfit so I had to get a picture. I couldnt bear to wake her up though...she slept all last night and all day today so we thinks she must be a growin!

Josh and Kylee playing at dinner.

While I was feeding Kylee a bottle tonight, she held it all on her own for about 30 seconds before dropping it. I think she is doing so good for only having one bottle a day. We were so proud!

You are a tummy time pro now! I've been trying to work with you on sitting up, but since daddy started working with you on standing, you dont want to sit at all...all you want to do is stand up and look around.
You like to play with your lips now...

So pretty.

I thought purple was your color but you look pretty cute in this outfit!

Daddy, why are you sleeping with Kylee in the middle of the day?

Maybe because you played video games until almost 5am. I really didnt mind...but I think Josh did when he had to wake up at 8am to watch Kylee so I could go to appts.

This video is very blurry because I took it with my cell phone. I put it on here because Kylee is squealing with laughter and sounds cute :)

Kylee got this outfit from our friends in Texas, Andy and Vivian. Andy is a HUGE Michael Jordan fan. So big, in fact, that their daughter (due any day now) is going to be named Jordyn. Anyways, even if its not purple or pink, we love this cute little outfit :)

Daddy singing to Kylee earlier today.

I read to Kylee every night now. I noticed a few weeks ago that she loves watching tv, especially when cartoons are on. But...since its bad for little kids to watch tv...I read to her instead, and she loves looking at the book and hearing me talk. Its amazing to me how much she has changed in just four months!

Here are a few cute pictures of Miss Kylee taken today.

Leo came home from the hospital today. YAY!!!!

This is a picture specifically for Aunt Karen and Chris. So if you talk to them, tell them to check the blog. While Karen and Chris were here they noticed that this store would sometimes have a male mannequin in this room display. So everytime we or they drove by this store it was always a fun game to see if he was there. I know, I know, you'd think we have better things to do in Hawaii...but actually for some reason this is really fun. Besides, since I had a child my idea of fun is sleeping and cuddling.
Josh caught Kylee, me and Nash lounging on the couch today. I desperately wanted to nap but could not fall asleep. Cuddling with Kylee was better than napping, though. I'll stick with that statement as long as I get at least 5 hours of sleep tonight.

Tonight we officially celebrated paying Josh's truck off so we went out for Lobsterfest. The last time we went out to Red Lobster (during Lobsterfest last year) was the night we had our engagement pictures taken. That seems like a lifetime ago!

Josh amusing Kylee during dinner.

This is how men multi-task. (I know it looks like beer, but its not)

Two Maine Lobster tails and two sides of shrimp. Spectacular!

Kylee got her passport photo taken a few days ago. She looks so adorable in her picture!!! Good thing you cant see me in the background, struggling to hold a 4 month old 14 pound baby with one hand at an odd angle. While we are in Hawaii we hope to go visit cousin Jack in Japan, maybe venture into Australia, etc.

Okay...I am so tired I really am going to bed now. The last update we got from Grammy is that Leo is doing so much better now, but still in the hospital. We are continuing our prayers for baby Leo and the entire Johnston family in Eau Claire!
