Trip to Aspen

Nine Months!!!

I was so afraid when Kalina was born, that when she hit milestones, it wouldn't be such a big deal, but it is still so exciting! I absolutely love watching her grow and become more and more interested in her environment. Each day brings some new excitement!

For the past two months, Kalina has been doing the army crawl to get around. This past month, she would get up on her feet and hands or her knees and hands and move a little, then change her mind and plop back down on her belly and do the army crawl. Sept. 22, she made another move towards 'crawling', and yesterday (10/10) would be her official day of crawling around. She did more hands and knees crawling than army crawling!!! So exciting!!! She is also pulling herself up on Matt and I and her toys... I think she is finally interested in doing something besides smile!!! LOL....

Her teeth are kicking her butt right now, having 6 coming in at once. Her bottom front two have cut through, along with two of her top teeth- surprisingly, not her two front on top... the ones right next to the front have cut! (lateral incisors) If the top front two don't come in very soon, she will have a hilarious smile!!! Poor girl!

Tatum is still a wonderful big sister! She is in gymnastics/tumbling right now and is loving it. One of her friends is in the same class, so that also helps! She is very excited to start pre-school (although we still have to decide which one we want to send her to!)

Lo and Pock 'relax' in Denver! HA!

So, you thought you'd go on 'vacation'??? As long as your definition of vacation does not include the words relax or rest... You're on! :) So, grandparents formerly known as Lola and Pocky (now Lo and Pock) came to visit us over Labor Day weekend. Tatum and Kalina definitely kept them busy. I'm pretty sure from the moment they walked into the house to the moment they left, Tatum had them going from one activity to another... from playing Play-doh, drawing with markers on pants, ope, I mean on the easel, going to the waterpark, zoo, park.... I'm sure I've left some out... but we had a great visit and Tatum asked on the morning that they left "Where'd my friends go?"... and later said "I'm going to IN and picking them up in my car and bringing them back" ... so, look out Lo and Pock, relax now while you can, but you have a three year old on her way to come pick you up!

My, Pocky, what BIG HANDS you have!

Pocky B and Grandma Birt Strike Again!

We had a nice visit with Grandma Birt and Pocky B in August. We were able to have our first celebration of T's birthday with them, checked out the Red Rocks Ampitheatre, took a short hike, and relaxed at the nearby park... oh, and Matt and I were able to leave the house TOGETHER!!! :D We actually got in the car and drove away without any little ones with us... wow...

Silly faces :D

Welcome, Alivia Marie!

Babies, Babies, everywhere babies!!! As Tatum says, our house is full of babies! :) Auntie Liz had her baby on August 2nd, and we are finally adjusting to two babies in the house! Alivia is a little cutie with a head FULL of hair! Crazy hair as we refer to it around here! Welcome, sweet niece... Thank you, Liz for inviting me to be your 'birthing coach', it was definitely one of the most amazing experiences. Thank you for letting me 'cut the cord', as well.... wow.... simply amazing. No words can describe how it feels to witness the miracle of a new life coming into the world.
