You caught me

Chewing on the bottom shelf of our coffee table

Who me?

We LOVE these close ups!

Adam took some great shots while I was taking a much needed nap. THANK YOU!!

My friend, Owen

Owen started the night feeding me blocks. How sweet!

And he ended the night, holding my hand so I wouldn't fall.

PRICELESS!

Kelsey's Last Rams Game of 2009

Hanging with Ryan (Coworker of Adam's)

Adam won an award at work (no surprise, right?) which included a suite to a Rams game. I invited some family and friends and a good time was had by all. It would have only been better if the Rams had won the game.

Uncle Kevin, Aunt Colleen, Kyle and Meghan drove over from Indy to visit and watch a Rams game. It was a blast!

First Night of Chanukah

Eating a check-------PRICELESS!

LOVING the paper

Last Night of Chanukah....what a great first family Chanukah!

SEVEN months!

Kelsey is 7 months old! Time really flies!! She now weighs in at 14 lbs 10.5 ounces, which is in the 10th percentile. We really do have our very own peanut! At first I was a tad worried she wasn't getting enough to eat, but have realized after a weight check at the doctor's we just have a doll baby on our hands. Maybe she's on the thinner side, since she's SO active!?! Kelsey now pseudo crawls all OVER the living room floor. She gets up on all fours, rocks, and then brings her knees to her hands and falls forward only to repeat it again and again. Her favorite things to chase include the remote control, our cell phones, the computer, Mocha and Bella. Occasionally a toy will get her going, but generally she's a very technically inclined social girl :) She loves eating and is now drinking from a straw! She's not a big fan of the bottle, but since she's straw drinking that works for us! Recently, I walked away for a minute max while she was laying in the middle of the floor only to come back to her sitting up. Quick little girl! When she first started moving, I found a bite out of a phonebook in her mouth and her chewing (yes, I said chewing) on our brick fireplace. Only our daughter would have such sophisticated taste. She's also started waving hi and bye. It's precious! We look forward to seeing what else Kelsey Brooke has in store for us. In the meantime, wish us luck childproofing :)

Yum, Yum

Kelsey is now eating a variety of fruits and veggies and is really enjoying herself. She's eating bananas, apples, pears, peaches, peas, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas and avocado. Next are green beans, mango, and black beans. She's starting to reach for the spoon and still LOVES water! That's our girl!

Living the High Life

First time in restaurant high chair

Chillin' after the meal

Kelsey loved sitting in a restaurant high chair for the first time. We went to IHOP and sat in high chair row. There were literally 4 high chairs in a row....apparently sunday mornings at IHOP is baby time. It was hilarious! She did amazing which didn't surprise either Adam or I, though we did have to keep her away from our pancakes :)

Rockin'

We finally got it on tape! We're going to be on the run chasing after Kelsey VERY soon!

Football, football, football

A HOUSE DIVIDED, Kelsey stuck in the middle

Watching the game with Daddy

Bye Bye Mullet

BEFORE

AFTER

Hair Swatch for the Baby Book

Kelsey was born with a ton of hair and unlike a lot of babies it's never fallen out. As the sappy mom it took me a while to get used to the idea, and as usual Adam was very patient waiting for me to be ready. Finally, after months of talking about cutting her hair we finally bit the bullet and chopped the mullet. Now we can actually see Kelsey's neck :)

First Thanksgiving

Thankful for Mommy Onesie

1st Thanksgiving Bib

Our Spread

Exploring with Daddy

Kelsey really enjoyed her FIRST Thanksgiving with Adam and I. I made my first full turkey dinner with all the trimmings (mashed potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, rolls, homemade cranberry sauce, sweet potato casserole, homemade pumpkin pie and two gravys- yes, I'm VERY proud!) and it turned out really good. Kelsey enjoyed spending the day with daddy watching football and her first 6 months of home videos (obviously at my request). It was a great day. Kelsey is now eating bananas, sweet potatoes, avocado, rice and oat cereal, pears, and apples. Soon she'll be trying peas, carrots and more! So far she's doing great!
