Other stuff

Before we left MN we also went to the zoo. I just have to include my favorite all time picture of Jeff being attacked by a beaver...

Kaylee has been growing by leaps and bounds these last couple weeks since we've been back. We got her a walker toy since she had so much fun with one up at Itasca. However in the last couple days, she's really started to walk on her own. Two days ago was the first time she struck out on her own, not walking towards someone who will catch her when she gets there. Today she was able to walk from our family room, through the kitchen, and into our living room.

I heard a few qualified "momma"s comming from Kaylee, but they're few and far between. She's been really chatty though. Her newest thing is to go "wow-wow-wow-wow-wow...". It's also cute the way she sucks on her upper lip.

I really thought I felt a tooth coming the other day, but now the bump is gone. I was hoping she'd get a tooth for her birthday.

I took Kaylee to the pool a couple days ago and she just loved it! There is a kid pool that goes from 0 to 3.5 feet deep. She thinks she can crawl right in and keep crawling even though the water gets up over her head. When I carry her out in deeper water, she tries to kick away from me and stike out on her own. She had a lot of fun with those rubber beach balls though. That kept her rooted to one spot for a little while. Eventually we had to go, and it was not easy getting her out of there. She cried and kept reaching back towards the pool.

Yesterday we went to Boulevard Park and she "one-fingered" walked barefoot in the grass, stalking a black bird. Eventually she let go and crab-crawled with her but up in the air. It was so funny. It was hard getting her away from that grass too - it's so fun to pull, you know.

Alright, Kaylee is up from her nap now, so that's all for now...

One more picture to embarass Jeff...
