Meeting O


Kelsey and Olivia enjoying their first girls dinner together


Our friends from Atlanta, Shelley and Olivia, had a girls family weekend in St. Louis and we were so excited to see them and spend some time with them! We loved hanging out and hope we get to see them and the rest of our ATL family and friends soon!

TEN MONTHS


Not easy to get these shots anymore :)

Enjoying the sun, FINALLY

"Playing" with a box of tissues. TROUBLE!!

Playing with friends

10 Months. Such a BIG GIRL! Kelsey is as amazing as ever, talking up a storm, cruising ALL over the house, standing by herself for a few seconds, getting into trouble (sometimes even on purpose, the little sneak), and being all around incredible. Her new words include nana (for banana) and ni ni (night night) when it's bedtime or naptime. She is following lots of 1 step directions (when she wants to ofcourse) and is really a little sponge soaking up all kinds of new information. It's incredible to watch how she really focuses and pays attention to all that's going on. She loves other kids, her swimming lessons, any kind of music and being outside. Kelsey is constantly chasing Mocha and Bella around the house and they both are fantastic with her "nice" hands. Kelsey has been going through separation anxiety and to be honest so have I. It's hard to watch her cry when you leave, but I'm happy to report we are BOTH doing much better! Thank goodness she has Adam's easygoingness. In fact, except for a mild fever, we would have never known she was suffering from her first ear infection (both sides too!). We really are so lucky to have such a dream baby. I do see hints of temper that I'm sure comes from my side of the family so we'll see what toddlerhood brings us :) I've been told I was a mean tantrummer. She's such a little person now. It's hard to believe she'll be 1 soon. So bittersweet for this proud mama and dada :) We thoroughly enjoy our little playful gal and think you will too. See below :)

Big Girl Bathtub


Getting ready to go in
SPLASH!
ALL WET!
Fun shampoo hair

And rinse....

We finally made the transition to the big girl tub on 3/12/10 and Kelsey embraced it wholeheartedly. She LOVES the freedom to splash all over and explore- our little cousteau.

Swimming Lessons


On our way to Kelsey's first swimming lesson, sporting the tankini.

Getting ready to go into the pool for the first time in 7 months!
Second lesson and a new suit!

Getting in the wish-it-was-warmer water
Kelsey is a little, adorable fish in the water! She loves it and has no fear. She's doing great reaching for toys with her hands and her feet, splashing, having water on her face, resting on her back (starfish position), and falling into the water to me from the side of the pool. She does great especially since it's in the middle of her morning nap time!! The hardest part is running to the car in this weather after the lesson. WE CAN'T WAIT FOR SPRING!!!
