So Cute!

Kamryn is at an age where it's very hard to get her to sit still. I miss the days when it was so easy to get her to fall asleep, whether it be rocking her or laying next to her on the bed. We now put her in her crib for naps and she almost always plays for a half hour until she finally gives in and falls asleep. That's why I was so surprised to come home after running errands to see her fast asleep in Joel's arms.

Joel sat Kamryn right next to him while he made a phone call and before he hung up she was out! What? Maybe I should make him babysit more often.

She's now given up eating most of her baby food and eating alot of what we eat. I love the fact that she can feed herself, however, the clean up afterwards is not always pleasant. Here she is enjoying spaghetti, green beans, and peaches.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

4944

Today was Kamryn's 1st Halloween and though it's never been my favorite holiday, it's alot more fun when you have a child who seems to enjoy it.

4938

Yesterday we took Kamryn to the Law School where the professors passed out candy from their offices. She had so much fun grabbing candy out of each bucket.

Here she is enjoying her treats with some of her friends....Kambryn, Jantsen, and Kate!

Afterwards we went to the church to trunk-or-treat! I know she really doesn't know what's going on, but she seemed to be having a lot of fun!

One Halloween down and many more to come!

It's about time......

I have been made aware by several people that it's time for a new post. So for those who have been checking for an update, this is for you! We've been back in Omaha for a little over a month now after spending most of the summer in Utah. We had so much fun with our families, which made it hard to leave, but are excited for Joel to be starting his last year of law school!
Kamryn is now eight months old....where did the time go?
She is so active, which is making my life just a bit more difficult, but she's so much fun and has the sweetest personality!

She's crawling all over and trying to pull herself up to the couch and entertainment center.

4623

She gets bored of her toys really fast.

4605

She loves being outside

IMG_4740

Everyday when Joel gets home he likes to take Kam outside and point out the birds in the trees and sky. She watches them all so intently.

4824

She also really loves playing with and watching other little kids play. This is our friends little boy Jack. He kept swinging Kamryn and then giving her hugs.

IMG_4828

Sometimes hugging a little too tight!

IMG_4688

She liked looking at the flowers, but then started picking them and putting them in her mouth.

IMG_4687

When do they stop putting everything in their mouths?!

4814

This is what I look forward to everyday! Lots of play and lots of smiles!

SAN DIEGO TRIP

Every two years Joel's family takes a vacation to the same spot in San Diego. We had such a blast! The back side of the hotel we stayed in sits right on Mission Bay and across the street from the front is Pacific Beach.

Kamryn's first time at the Beach.

We spent several hours on the beach everyday.

We tried several new Mexican restaurants. By the end of the trip, I didn't want to see or eat another tortilla.

Another day at the beach.

Kamryn enjoyed her daily stroller rides.

And her first time riding behind a bike! She only liked it for the first half. Apparently all babies, no matter thier age have to wear a helmet. Kam pulled hers off as soon as we got going. She's such a good sport!

We were so sad the trip had to end. I love, love, LOVE to vacation! Especially ones that involve the beach. Thanks Michelle and Doug for allowing this vacation to be possible.

We are having so much fun in Utah. Joel got a summer job with a law firm in Salt Lake so we've been staying with his parents this summer. It's so great to be close to our families. Kamryn is six months now and is getting so big. I sure love my little family!

My sister Rachel is visiting from New York for our sister Becca's wedding. Rachel, Becca, and my sister-in-law Allison came up to Salt Lake to spend a day with me. We spent the morning shopping at Nordstroms and afterwards went swimming.

We had a shower for Becca and are all so excited for her to get married. Pictured is my mom Marilyn, sisters Melinda, Becca, and Allison, and Melinda's kids Madilyn, Emma, and Elisabeth.

Vali is so protective of Kamryn. She doesn't bite, but when Joel's uncle tried to hold Kam, Vali nipped at him. I think it's cute that Vali will sit right in front of Kamryn while she's playing on the couch.

4077

Joel loves his little girl.

4085

He likes to sit on the floor with her and watch her play.

Joel and I are so blessed to have Kamryn. We could not have asked for a more pleasant child. She makes both of us extremely happy!

She's growing way too fast but I love watching the new things she discovers.

LAKE POWELL WITH THE ATWOOD FAMILY

We had so much fun in Lake Powell this last week! It's got to be one of my favorite places on earth. We had a blast with my family members that were able to come and missed those that couldn't be there. One of our favorite things to do is to drive through the canyons. They are amazingly beautiful.

Kamryn didn't like having her life vest snapped, but she did like to suck on it.

We put her in the water twice. That was more than enough for her.

I LOVE how Kamryn puts herself to sleep....
IMG_2782
She always has to have a hand on her face!

2785

I put her on Mine and Joel's bed and she falls right to sleep! As much as I love how easy it is to put her to sleep that way, I have to break the habit. She's so close to rolling over on her own!
