2/3 a year of K Baby, 8 months

I was hoping with my fourth precious baby time would slow down but of course it seems to have sped by even faster instead. I don't think anything will ever slow K down. Walking at 7 months, pretty much running now, the same size her siblings were at a year already, and smart as can be, we're in trouble but oh what a fun sort of trouble it is. And of course her beautiful smiles and little kisses and hugs make it all worth it.

2/3 a year already, I know it's my same line but the parents get it, it really seems like she just got here yesterday and then again like she's been in our family forever. I love you K/Rina/ReeRoo and you are such a wonderful addition to our house of crazies, I mean family :), can't wait to see what the years to come have in store, I'm sure you will continue keeping us on our toes and making us smile.

At 8 Months K:
-has been walking almost a month! Is almost running now
-eating some solids but still enjoys breastmilk best and nursing for main nutrition
-is still our tallest and most active baby so far
-at most recent doctor's visit was 23lbs 29 inches!
-Repeating lots of sounds and words and adding more and more words to her everyday talking as well, her current favorites are Mama, Dada, E-a, Nanna (C's nn), Jojo (for J), Hi
-Has started dancing to music more
-Is still a Mama's girl but branching out with more people and letting more people hold her longer and longer (she seemed to have a special affinity for my SIL/Aunt Tammy a couple weeks ago)
-has more hair then her siblings had at over a year :P
-loves playing her siblings though E may get a little rough at times so K also loves being able to "walk" away
-Is amazing with Shade (our puppy) though likes to try and use her tail for teething....luckily Shade is very patient as well
-Is getting sweeter, happier, and more fun by the day

Funny moments with Blocks

 J was playing with blocks and came up to me and showed me his creations of a Mommy and Daddy. Can you guess which is which.......lol yep the one with the baby window on her torso is the Mommy. This is not his Mommy's current state but way too amusing none the less that this was his idea of the couple.

 Here's after he added a big brother to the mix :)

 And C built the people a castle too

Happy Father's Day!

Today was a lot of fun celebrating my amazing husband and his father being here too. I will admit there was a bit more stress this week getting ready with hubby's birthday Wednesday and then Father's Day today but we made it through and everyone enjoyed themselves.

This morning we had the traditional Baker Breakfast of Eggs Benedict then the rest of the day we enjoyed the gorgeous weather while I made more pineapple upside down mini cakes, garlic cheese biscuits, etc. all getting ready for our big dinner of Snow Crab and Watermelon outside on the deck overlooking the pool. It was all awesome.

I am so thankful for my amazing hubby, he is a wonderful father to our kids and they love him so much. I didn't get any pics of today's fun but I do have a nice one of "Super Dad" and our four from October last year when K was less than a week old.
 
Happy Father's Day to my children's amazing father, my wonderful husband, and an expert kid juggler ♥ :P 

Happy 21 Months Doll Baby/E

 E had a small fever today but still is such a sweetheart and full of energy (and trouble) challenging us even on her slightly quieter day. She is so amazingly clever and too pretty, sweet, and smart for her own good, but such a joy to have in our lives. I can't believe in 3 months it will be 2 years since she joined our crew. She's so different then her big sibs in so many ways and alike in a few too, but definitely uniquely completely herself, and such a blessing to have in our lives.

Happy Birthday Daddy

Family Get together

My brother was visiting with his family and my mom set up a family get together. We had a lot of fun. I wish we could've found the time to get together again while they were visiting but hopefully we'll find more time in the future. I didn't get too many pics since we were having so much fun. K was smitten by her Aunt Tammy and C has been asking when she'll get to spend more time with her cousin Jordan again. I hope we can all get together again soon.
