Laughing Out Loud

Robbie, Kaelyn and I have spent some great family time together these past few weekends. We've been teaching Kaelyn all kinds of new tricks, but the one we didn't teach her is the cutest...how to laugh out loud. She thinks her daddy is the funniest guy around and Mom can be pretty funny too. She is the light of our life and we love how she smiles with her whole body.

4 Months Old

Kaelyn turned 4 months old on Friday, November 6th! It is so hard to believe how quickly she is growing. It's like we blinked and all of a sudden she was no longer a newborn. I laughed this morning as she became our little show-off for the doctor when she checked all of Kaelyn's developmental progress. We are happy to announce she is right on track with her "Ages and Stages" chart. Here's our new stats:

Weight: 15 lbs. 5 oz.

Height: 2 ft. (24 inches)
Head: 16 3/4 in.

She is in the 85th percentile for her head and weight and the 50th percentile for her length. Unfortunately, we also got a few shots today (including the Swine Flu for Mom and Dad, yuck!). The nurse was so sweet and gave Kaelyn shiny silver bandaids which suits her so well. She loves her bling! Robbie and I cannot imagine what our world would be like without Kaelyn, nor what our life was like before she arrived. She is such a blessing to us and we thank God each day for her!

She really needed her nite-nite after such a traumatic experience! Check out her bling bandaids!

Aggie Football...Whoop!

On Saturday, Kaelyn experienced her first Aggie football game in College Station. Thank goodness the Aggies beat Iowa State (I think she is good luck for the Aggies)! Robbie, Kaelyn and I met up with Mom and Kylen to travel to the game and then met Keeton at Wings 'n' More for some pickle chips (and wings of course) before kickoff. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time.

Quality Time

Robbie and I have enjoyed some great family time lately with Kaelyn. We had a busy October and are looking forward to a relaxing November! We are excited about the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and getting to see all the family. Here are a few photos that I adore and wanted to share.

Play date with Julianna Truden (isn't it cute how they held hands?)

"Daddy is hilarious!"

"I found myself in the mirror and kind of like to stare at my cute reflection."

The sweetest times (can she even breathe?)

Our Little Pumpkin

On Sunday night, we attended a Halloween party with our small group friends and kids. Kaelyn made her debut as a large-stuffed Pumpkin (however, Dad thought it would be funny to tell everyone she was dressed as a gourd). We thought she looked super cute, but she strongly disagreed.

"Seriously, Mom and Dad???"

"I just want everyone to know that I am not happy as a large Pumpkin!"

All the kids from small group (it wasn't easy trying to get them all to stay in one place)


Our little drama queen liked the Halloween outfit and cute bow much better than the costume!

We had a great time with all of our friends and loved seeing all the kids in costume. We are already thinking about Kaelyn's costume for next year!

Perfect Pitch...Or Maybe Not

Tonight as I watched television, Robbie was entertaining Kaelyn and had her smiling and laughing out loud...then he started singing.

Chatterbox Kaelyn

As new parents, Robbie and I are realizing how Kaelyn changes daily and we have been keeping the camera and camcorder close by to catch those moments. Today during the Alabama vs. Arkansas game, Kaelyn became a chatterbox. We aren't exactly sure what she was trying to tell us, but it was precious nonetheless.
