Growing up

So I am working on publishing the last 2 1/2 years of my blog into a book that we can keep and show our kids when they grow up. As I was looking through my posts it is basically 2 1/2 years of photos of Emma growing up. A lot of them. And I realized that I don't have hardly any pictures of Kaylie. And I thought about an episode from Malcolm in the Middle where Dewey (the youngest) wants to look at his baby book. After finding the stack of family photo albums he's a little peeved at his parents. Basically the oldest kid had this wonderfully huge book full of memories and by the time they got to Dewey his book had maybe a couple of pages.

So, in an effort to avoid having that happen here are a few recent photos of Kaylie's newest feats at 5 1/2 months.

Starting Solids

After 3 or so weeks she's still trying to figure it out.


She still thinks that in order to swallow the food down, sucking on something must be involved. We're pretty messy.


But for the most part she just has fun.


Rolling over

We've spent the last 2 weeks or so listening to her complain every time she rolls onto her belly and gets stuck there. As of this week she figured out how to get back onto her back and can roll across the room. So now she just cries when she hits her head on the furniture.

Doing her superman's. I wish my back were that strong, she's always doing this!
