Weekend Update (kinda late)

Kaylin and I had a great weekend! Friday, we got a surprise visit from Grandma and Morgan at work! It was so nice to see them! Then we got to leave work super early so we had lunch with Erin and then went over to Meaghan's for a play date with her two sweet boys, Logan and Austin. Austin and Kaylin had a great time playing together! (No offense, Logan! You're just too old for tummy time!)

On Saturday, I cleaned the house and rearranged/organized the kitchen and Kaylin's nursery (can you call it "nesting" if the baby is already here?). Kaylin loves to help me vacuum! She gets strapped into her Bjorn and will sometimes hold the vacuum cord. It's so funny. I set up her play yard on Saturday, too. That was interesting! I had to refer to the owner's manual more times than I'd like to admit. I set it up in Kaylin's room, and when I went to wheel it into the living room - it wouldn't fit through the doorway. Doh! So I had to figure out how to get it folded back down... and... well... the thing is finally in the living room. :) She doesn't mind being in there as long as I keep it short.

Kaylin is still in love with Copa. When she rolls over, it's usually to watch Copa. For the most part, Copa knows to stay off the baby blankets. She's a really good "big sister."

We ventured out Saturday night to try on bridesmaid dresses with Erin. After that we went out to eat where I ate a ridiculously large amount of food... and then got a dessert to go! Kaylin had a great time - she refused to nap, she was too interested in what was going on around her. She's such a social baby. She drifted off in the car and slept until we were about 10 minutes from home. Those last 10 minutes always seem to get us. I fed her some cereal then she went back to sleep. (and I ate my tiramisu! Yum!)

We had a lazy Sunday. Kaylin worked hard on blowing raspberries.

We're looking forward to Daddy coming home on Wednesday and celebrating Kaylin's first 4th of July!

Quickly...

I'll have to do the weekend update tomorrow or Tues, but I wanted to share a couple of pictures. We had a great weekend! Tomorrow is Kaylin's 4 month check-up (even though she'll be 5 months on the 2nd. The original appt had to be rescheduled b/c of her UTI.) I'm trying not to stress about the shots. :(

Wordless Wednesday is preempted by an announcement...

Kaylin rolled over!!! She rolled from her tummy to her back and then looked up at me with those beautiful blue eyes like it was no big deal. Milestones are amazing!

Happy 1st Father's Day!

Overall we had a nice weekend. Of course it was over way too soon! It frustrates me that "normal" life doesn't stop when Billy comes home. We still have chores to do and errands to run. We used to use Sunday as our "clean the house" day, but now that Billy is traveling so much, I hate to spend any time cleaning. I'd like to just do fun stuff all weekend, but I guess that isn't realistic.

Anyway...

After we ran our errands we took Kaylin to our pool for the first time on Saturday. Since it was the hottest day of the year so far, we waited until about 6pm to go. She wasn't sure about it at first, but by the end she was splashing around.

We also got Kaylin a highchair over the weekend. It's a $140 highchair that I scored on craigslist for $50! Sweet! We put her in it for a minute and she though it was hilarious. (she finds most things hilarious, actually)


Billy celebrated his first Father's Day yesterday! Kaylin and I hope he had a good one! We tried to make him a gift, but I learned that I'm not exactly what you would call crafty. We got one of those kits where you make an impression of that baby's hand prints. It seemed easy enough - mix the powder with water, let it sit for a few minutes, then place baby's hands in. The directions said it would be easier with the help of another adult, but I thought I could handle it. When I put Kaylin's hands in, she squeezed the clay like she was playing with PlayDoh. It didn't resemble hands at all. I eventually enlisted Billy's help, and we got a decent imprint of her feet, but now the darn thing won't dry. Oh well. I guess it's the thought that counts. (?!) We were bummed that Billy has to leave at 2:30 to go back to Ohio, but we were glad he was able to spend some time with his sweet baby girl on Father's Day!

We couldn't ask for a better Daddy! We love you.
