Back at the ranch

Well, we've been back home for a couple weeks now and it seems I cannot be more than 5 feet from my camera at any time! I feel like I am continually taking pictures of her since she is growing and moving so fast! She has now mastered sitting. She still falls sometimes but it's rare and she has learned to catch herself - somewhat.

She gets up on all fours and rocks... still no actual movement there though... but she's getting better at the army crawl (on her belly). She is laughing and enjoying her jumper and all that has to offer. It seems so crazy to think a few weeks ago she was just laying around doing nothing and now she CANNOT sit still! And, she has found my necklace and my hair so she loves to pull on both of those. I've started to not put jewelry on until I drop her off at daycare. The hair is probably my fault b/c I put my head down so my hair is on her face... my bad. :)

Oh, speaking of which, she has a little friend there at daycare - Bradley - who's usually there with her in the morning. He's a couple months older than Kayla and has recently started crawling. I think though that she's going to catch up to him and they can chase each other around. Anyway - you can tell they are friends when you watch them interact - it's really quite cute! So, her friends are Noah and Bradley - she needs some GIRLFRIENDS!

As everyone always says "she's growing up so fast!" She is finally out of 0-3 clothes (she had a couple big ones that she still fit into) and is in 3-6 or 6 month clothes though some are still a little big. We bought size 3 diapers last week but I'm still trying to use the last of the size 2s. :) We've graduated to fast flow bottles - she had been on medium flow for the last few months. And in a couple months we'll move to the smaller bottles once she gets used to the speed. We moved the straps in her car seat up to the next height - probably should have done that a while ago but oh well. And we've put away the jungle gym play mat that we've had out forever now that we have the jumper.

I guess that's about it for now. There's not a whole lot of new things going on with Eric and I. I was supposed to start a diet this week and while I'm sure I ate better than I usually do it wasn't all that great so I doubt I lost anything this week. And I'm sure Happy Hour on Thursday (for my birthday) didn't help anything. :) But I've been writing down what I eat so hopefully that'll make me more conscience of it. And one of these days I'll start the work out video again... but now I know what it's like (very hard!) and so I don't have a burning desire! But, seriously, I need to lose these last 10 lbs!!!! Liposuction anyone???

Alright - enjoy the new pictures (which I have now started posting in monthly albums instead of weekly) and videos. I'll be taking down the ones from TX in the next few days to make room for more! I also uploaded pics to her outfits and faces albums since those hadn't been updated in a while...
