lots of pictures and some pretty important milestones this update.
seven months old... can you believe it? we're on the latter side of the first year and going strong... it seems like this last month flew by! i'm finally getting the hang of being a stay at home mom... we joined a baby and me work out class twice a week (only $20 for 8 weeks - thank you city of irving)! kai loves playing with the other kiddoes - well mostly just touching their heads and i love getting out and exercising with the other moms... my buddy annie and kai's bff noli go with us!
also, i'm subbing just one day a week when Gilbert (the school i most recently taught at) needs me for a bit of extra money and some adult interaction... i have my first gig this friday and am super excited!
shawn and others (buddy brad, cousins michael and wesley) have finished the ceilings in the other two bedrooms as well... so the house is almost done! i'll get pics after we de-clutter with a garage sale this weekend...
ok... enough blabbering... here's what you all are here for!
fun times at the park... she LOVES the swing!
isn't this a sweet picture?
a couple of weeks ago we went to tobey's bday party and kai got to ride the train with daddy!
now about those milestones... we had to lower the crib because i came in to find this one afternoon...
and then this...
she is trying super-hard to pull up on her crib and has succeeded once... she loves to hold on to the side if i help her up... and... she officially CRAWLED today! i'm assuming in the next couple of days she'll become a pro and i'll get some good video!
we went to toys R us and got this horsey bouncer thing on sale because the store is relocating... sadly she has never enjoyed it as much as the first night we brought it home! that is pure bliss people!
i mentioned cousin wesley above... he came up to dodge Ike and got suckered into helping shawn put the finishing touches on the rooms... but i think he enjoyed seeing kai! he was great with her!
when the weather changed, i couldn't resist buying these leg warmers for kai... and she's so smart, she knows when she sees the orange light on my camera that a super bright light is coming... so that's why she's got the funny face!
and for the sad news of the month... kai had her first major boo-boo... she fell while we were at the park last week with some friends and scraped her head and nose on the concrete (ouch!) she was such a trooper though and it's already almost completely healed! it was way harder on me than her... i bought her a super soft stuffed monkey for being such a tough gal!
noli and kai doing the butt-touch as only bff's can do
and a final note... this saturday we had a youth group reunion... over 150 (including spouses and kids) people came including our old youth pastors rick and angela! it was amazing to see everyone 10 years grown up... so much fun! here's our group pic...
until next time!

ADORABLE PICTURES OF KAI!!! The one of her looking up from holding the monitor is freaking awesome. Who is that little pumpkin nosed baby in her brown diaper with Kai?
That's is soooo sad about her boo boo. But, what a trooper! Great pics! I can't believe she's pulling herself up now!
She is just beautiful! And way to go Kai for being so brave after the boo-boo. And I must say, you have the best taste in baby clothes...she is so stylish in every picture!
Those clothes are hot! She's gonna be so shabby chic (or whatever is cool) when she goes to school one day.
The workout thing sounds fun. I wanna see those pics! :-)
She's growing so quickly. It makes it really makes me miss ya! I wish I could be a part of your life during this time but i'm so dang far away. At least there's the blog.
