6 months

Kaylee now weighs 17lbs 4 oz and is 26 1/2 inches long. She is now eating stage 2 foods and oatmeal for breakfast. She loves to eat! Kaylee trying to learn to push up in a crawling position. Its so cute she ll have both knees bent and her butt up the only thing missing is if she could get her upper half up.

On April 22 Kaylee had tubes put in her ears because she has had 5 ear infections this year so far. This last ear infection lasted 2 weeks and her pediatrician said the only way for her ears to get better was to have tubes put. We got up at 5am to arrive at the hospital at 5:45am for her surgery. John and I were so nervous the entire time. We were able to be with Kaylee until they took her back to OR for the surgery. She was such a good baby while we were waiting for our turn in the OR. We played together and she even took a nap. She never cried or fussed. When it was time to for her surgery we prayed as a family for God to protect and heal her. Twenty minutes later I was holding my baby girl again, such relief that the surgery was finally over. Kaylee held on to me so tight as if saying don't ever let me go mommy. I will never forget that feeling!

Kaylee had her first Easter we celebrated it in Fayetteville with both of our families. John and I made her an Easter basket filled with lots of goodies like a sippy cup, earrings, a book, and a new bath toy. She also got one big gift from us a sit-to-walk walker which she loves because it sings all kinds of songs. Me maw and papper gave her a gift bag and nana and grandpa also gave her an Easter basket. We had a great time!

Kaylee's Baby Dedication

YUMMY...GREEN BEANS!

5 Months

Our little girl is getting so big so fast. Kaylee now weights 16lbs and is eating veggies and fruits. She loves all of her vegetables in fact there isn't one she doesn't like. As for fruits she doesn't care too much about apple sauce now since shes had bananas. She'd rather have bananas or pears with her rice cereal.

Kaylee also has been sitting up on her own. She can now sit and play with all her toys. And if you try to lay her down after she has been sitting she gets mad. John has taught her to bang on the high chair and to bang the keys on her laptop. Its so cute to see him teach her to bang. Now that she can do it on her own all I hear is the constant music coming from her laptop. Kaylee has also been rolling over. Its funny how we discovered she could rollover, every time we would leave the room while she was playing on her mat we would come back to find her on her belly. At first that was the only time she would do it. I could never get her to do it while I was in the room with her. Silly little girl. But now she is really good at it so she rolls back and forth everytime she is on her play mat.

Kaylee's baby dedication was on March 20th. We felt like proud parents that day. It was such a special day for us we had all of our family there to witness our vow to God. I thanked God for giving us the chance to be parents, for fulfilling our dreams and answering our prayers. Kaylee has been such a blessing to our little family, she is my world.

At four months Kaylee has mastered eating with a spoon. She LOVES to eat her rice cereal mixed with some apple sauce. She gets so excited when we put her in the high chair because she knows what's coming up. It does get messy, rice cereal goes everywhere but I love how she manages to get it up her nose and in her hair. We all have a good time when she eats. lol.

The weather has been so nice lately that we have done lots of family outings. One day we went to Noah's Ark in Locust Grove, there we saw lots of exotic animals. Kaylee loved to see the tigers she kept smiling at them. We also went to local parks several times. John and I got on the swings with Kaylee and I went down the slide with her. She wasn't too sure about the slide, but she did notice all the other kids playing in the playground. She loved to watch them and gave BIG smiles. Other times at the park we would just take strolls to get some fresh air and sun.

We also celebrated Valentine's Day together as a family. We spent the morning at the park and then the afternoon at home. After dinner we all exchanged cards and read them out loud so Kaylee could hear. I loved seeing John read his card for Kaylee. It was so cute!

In a couple of days Kaylee will be 5 months and she will be trying vegetables for the first time! Cant wait to blog and post pictures about it :)!

4 months

Kaylee is 4 months and weighs 14 lbs 10oz and is 23 1/2 inches long. She is growing so fast boy how the time has flown by.
Lately we have been spending lots of time in Fayetteville so we can see my little brother Jeffrey who is home from Afghanistan for 3 weeks. But now we are going back to spending weekends just us three and going back to our normal routine. And most of all going back to our church McDonough Christian Church.
New things Kaylee has learned to do this month is eating rice cereal with a spoon, holding toys, babbling and squeals, and making spit bubbles (which is so funny to us). She also loves putting her fingers in her mouth and sucking them. I love watching her learn new things and seeing her reaction. She is such a happy baby and her smile melts my heart.
Kaylee has also had her first illness which was an ear infection. She had two actually and was put on two different antibiotics. It was a rough 2 weeks! I hope she doesnt get more of them anytime soon.
