Walking on the boardwalk

Cute babies in the strollers.


So cool that sisters have girls this close in age. We can't wait till they grow up to play with each other.
Proud grandma of Kayla (2 months 1 week ) and Tristin (4 1/2 months)

This past week, Kayla and I went to visit my mom in her new house in Mt. Pleasant, TX. Mom loved having us there to have a break from cleaning and going through boxes, although I did help some. Wednesday, we met my sister Brittany and her baby, Tristin, in Shreveport to visit the Louisiana Boardwalk that has shops and restaurants outside. (alot like the Landing in Branson). I was loads of fun being with them, talking about our lives with the babies and laughing at Tristin's new acts. She's 2 1/2 months older than Kayla and always on the move. She's quite advanced for her age b/c she seems like she's always into something and very mischevious already. She's 4 1/2 months old now. These are some pics of us at the Boardwalk with our 2 babies. Some people mistake them for twins at first until they stop and see the size difference.

Cute outfit

I just had to share this cute outfit with you. She looks all grown up sometimes, but still my little baby.

Party in the crib!!

We love this surprised look. Its so sweet and inocent.

After the birthday party, we went home to clean house and hang out. We put Kayla down in her crib to play for the first time. She thouroughly enjoyed experiencing her rainforest mobile and interactive mirror. Right now she it cooing and smiling at them alot and not so much interacting with them. She can't quite reach and grab things yet, but she does realize when she accedentally hits rattles, etc. with her feet or hands. It kindof startles her and she wanders, "what was that?" Meanwhile, she is starting to smile and coo at toys and is able to entertain herself sometimes, when she's in the mood.

Party girl

I had to get a pic of the dads with their daughters. How cute!!
She looks all grown up in her pink party dress.
Kayla loved the cupcake!! (not really)

Kayla attended her first friend birthday party last Saturday. It was really fun seeing all of our friends and their babies. We have all had babies during the past 2 years and this was Hudson's 1st birthday party. Kayla got to meet all the other babies. She was good the whole time, but really not that social yet. I guess she'll learn her party manners later.

2 months old!!

I can't believe that she's already 2 months. She's really holding her head up good now when laying on her stomach. She coos and goos alot when she's happy and looks at us contently. She also lets us know in a big way what she wants and when she's not happy. I think we're getting pretty good at knowing what she wants. I took her to the doctor on her 2 month birthday b/c I thought she had a cold with some wheezing and sneezing. The doctor said she checked out good, but has a heart murmur. He wasn't too conserned about this and said it should go away within 4 months. He said her weight gain was good. She's 10lbs and 12oz. Big girl!!

Meeting baby Ethan

Wednesday went to meet baby Ethan who was born last Sunday. The family and baby seem to be doing great. This is one more of Kayla's little friends born this year. We are waiting on one more from our community group. We realized how much Kayla had grown in 2 months compared to the newborn. I'm so excited to see all of the babies grow up together.

Riding in the carrier

So, we tried to figure out how to use the carrier thing to be able to hold Kayla while doing things aroud the house. I've used it twice now when cooking and cleaning b/c she wants to be held all the time. She likes it ok. I don't think its the most comfortable thing for her, but when I get to moving she usually goes to sleep.
