playtime is so much fun!


this morning we played on th floor for a little while... when put on her stomach, she ends up scooting backwards and gets really frustrated... she'll get the hang of it sooner or later. :) yesterday i had the pleasure of staying home with her for the day, as craig went to houston for work. she's so fun and such a good baby! not so great at napping, though... i think she gets that from her mommy... today we might go to the pool and see how swimming goes over! if we go, i'll be sure to take a ton of pictures of this momentous event. happy saturday!!

splish splash....

our newest developments involve hygiene... as you can see in the pics, kaetlyn can now sit up in the bath tub! she is discovering the exciting world of bath toys and seems to enjoy this newly discovered playtime. she also now has 5 teeth! the top front two came in on 3/13 and the top left next to the front on 3/28. as a result, we're beginning to brush those little suckers in the evenings before bedtime. she likes the way the toothpaste tastes, so it's not too difficult a task... although trying to get a picture with any of her teeth showing is proving to be. ;)
we went to her 6 month doctor appt yesterday and she got her 3rd round of shots... not too fun for any involved party, but otherwise she is progressing nicely. she is 18 lb 4 oz and 27 inches! she's ranging in the 90th percentile for both right now! who'd have ever thought i'd have such a big girl???

fun weekend














we had a really fun weekend! i took friday off work and we spend the morning hiking with susan, bootsie, little jack, and chuck... went home for a nice long nap and a relaxing evening. saturday we got up and headed to jan's for a trip to enchanted rock... boy is it beautiful! we spend the day hiking and climbing some of the smaller rocks surrounding the "enchanted rock." there is so much to explore and see there, i can't wait to go back again. kaetlyn is a little trooper and we can tell that she enjoys the outdoors. she is sitting up pretty well on her own and becoming quite the little person with her own distinctive personality.... if only she would sleep through the night. ;) i can't believe she's almost 6 months old. she's really beginning to enjoy baby food and has dinner every night. she also rolled from back to front several times this weekend... don't think she's doing it completely on purpose, but pretty soon she'll be all over the place! we are having so much fun with her. craig is about to begin his first independent contract as a self-employed artist. i'm very proud of him for all his hard work. pics are from enchanted rock on saturday and also kaetlyn enjoying her sweet potatoes today at dinner. :p

new developments




i've included some of our most recent pictures of the exciting events in our lives these days... kaetlyn is beginning to eat baby food on a regular basis... we just decided to skip the cereal all together. she wasn't liking it one bit! tonight she had her first big girl dinner of baby sweet potatoes, baby bananas, and big people bread. and she chowed down!!! we also noticed today that 2 + 2 = 4... her two top teeth are poking through her gums now! i can't believe it! she is so much fun!!!

today we had a big day! we spent the day hiking and exploring perdenales falls. it was a beautiful day. we hiked between 7 & 8 miles and are now completely worn out. kaetlyn was such a trooper! she seems to enjoy the outdoors and just passes out in her carrier when she's had enough. here are some pictures of today:
