a week in review

OK well, I wasn't a good girl this week; I haven't updated in 8 days. But here we go, a slew of new pictures of our gorgeous girl.
First off, while she still isn't crawling, Kaylee is working on strengthening her legs. She does not pull herself up to a standing position, but she can stand on her own if you give her something to lean on.
"This is easy, Mommy" Kaylee says. "I could do this all day long." OK maybe not all day long--but she does it for several minutes before she gets bored or distracted and in baby time, perhaps that qualifies as 'all day long.'
Yesterday, June 20th--our weekly visit with Jackie and Emily. Kaylee, the gracious hostess she is, slept for about 2/3 of the time Emily was here; but at least they got some face to face time in.
And Emily was kind enough to be interested in Kaylee's toys and dogs for long enough to give Jackie and myself some time to do some scrapbooking while Kaylee slept. I am actually caught up with my calendar now and can get back to the big book.
Kaylee's hair is starting to get long. We had some fun in the bath over the weekend with her hair, we decided to give her a little shampoo mohawk. As usual, she finds the fact that her parents are so easily amused, a bit amusing in and of itself.
Here's a close-up of her Alfalfa-like do!
On Father's Day, I didn't take any pictures of Kaylee and Daddy together. Instead we took the opportunity to educate Kaylee about the Red Sox as we expect her to be an avid fan for the next 100 years or so. She listened as we explained the game and why the Red Sox are the team to cheer for.

She got really excited when we told her about the 2004 world series and the amazing come-back.
She was also thrilled when we told her about how well we were doing this season so far.
And of course, we had to tell her how we feel about those Yankees. She gets it already! She's gonna be a great Red Sox fan.
On Saturday, Mommy decided she wanted a picture of Kaylee sleeping. So when Kaylee's nap was almost through she crept into the room and took a picture of her sleeping angel.

Unfortunately for Kaylee the flash in the dark was definately enough to end the nap, and she wasn't too happy about it.
Kaylee made sure that looks could kill when she communicated to Mommy that she was not happy about being woken up.
Last Thursday, June 14th, Grammy, Grampy and Great-Grandma Chip came up for a visit. Kaylee had a great time singing and dancing with the visiting Gs.
And look at that smile: she loves her Great-Grandma!
More later!
