exciting stuff people... exciting stuff!

first of all... our wedding was picked to be in the "real weddings" section of the next issue of D Weddings! We are honored and excited and so thankful to our awesome photographer, Julie Robles and her husband Alberto for taking such wonderful pictures and for submitting our wedding. It will be on newstands Dec. 26th! Here's a sneak peak... i had to scan in pages from our awesome album since i can't find my cd with the images on it...







in the world of kai... trouble, trouble trouble! not really... but she has become a pro at crawling and pretty much starting pulling up the day after she started crawling... her favorite thing to do is crawl over to the couch where lucy is lying, stand up and stick out her tongue for some licking action... gross! of course i stop it, they both look at me like, what? and try again. I can't blame Lucy... kai's the sweetest thing in the house! here's some video to enjoy!





other recent news included celebrating rob's 35th b-day... dinner time is fussy time and kai only wants to be in mama's arms... as indicated by this awesome photo:



and we managed to all be looking in the same direction for a split second to get a family pic:



with sunday morning comes the hard-to-ignore tug on my heart to go to church... so i packed up kai and headed to first irving where she got to hang out with ms. amy in the nursery... here she is swinging and most likely eyeing another child's toy thinking, if only i could get out of this thing... his toy looks better!



after church we headed to my brother's house to celebrate my sister-in-law's birthday... kai was the star of the show of course... but she was more interested in playing with the guitar as indicated in the pics below... she's actually standing up and holding on to the guitar in this one:



and wanting to eat the strings while pop plays some johnny cash:



she also got some good floor time with aunt rita... well, she was trying to get at her camera for some tasty metal-munching:



kai's new favorite toy... yes, that's a plastic jar with some chocolate covered raisins inside... it's the simple things people.



playing with her exersaucer from the other side! what a big girl... and she even stood up on her own for this one!



i thought this was funny because lucy gets so jealous! tonight she just came over and sat in shawn's lap! silly lucy!



and last, but not least... eating time. kai is eating all kinds of fruits and veggies... sweet potato, squash, green beans, pears, avocados, pumpkin... and her bottom two teeth have broken through and are emerging more and more each day... i can't wait to get that toothy grin on camera... in the meantime, enjoy this video of her silliness during dinner recently!



we'll be celebrating kai's 8 month birthday in sunny CA! so our next post will have lots of pics from disney and the beach! adios for now!
