Family Visits

Five generations of women. Holding her bottle all by herself at 6 weeks!

This past weekend the family minus Grand Dad came to visit Kayla and I while John is in Afghanistan. It was nice to see everyone and I know they had a blast spending time with Kayla. She has changed so much in the past 6 weeks and has almost doubled in weight. She is now about 14 pounds! I attempted to take everyone to the thrift store on base as well as Hidden Talents but both were closed, maybe next time. We did get to go to the commissary and out to dinner twice. Kayla did really well on our outtings and in the evening we played a few games of yatzee which was fun. Gramps fixed Kayla's high chair, which John assembled as a "low chair", and our dryer which was apparently blowing all the lint in my laundry room! We can't wait to have everyone back next month and luckily Grand Dad will be able to come too!

JCPenny Portraits

This past Saturday the 14th we had family photos taken. The pictures of our family are really great, our photographer did an amazing job. I still can't figure out how she got some of the shots of Kayla. Kayla really enjoyed being a model too! She did some cute poses of her own! We didn't buy the copyright to the photos so unfortunately they will only be available to view online for 90 days beginning around the 24th (they said 10 business days). To access the pictures go to www.smilesbywire.com The name is Candice Pico and the Access Code is LTPP0738101483JCP We hope you enjoy them. If you have any problems viewing them or logging into the website please post a comment on here so that I can address the issue. Thanks!

Kayla is one month old!

At La Costa on Saturday- Daddy drinking with his girls! Cutest little girl ever!
All dressed up!
Playing with her activity gym, thanks Grammy!
Kayla is officially one month old and allowed to go out in public. Friday I took her to the thrift store on base and got a whole brown grocery bag full of baby clothes for her for $6.41, you can't beat that! Saturday we all went to Wilmington to go dress shopping for Louisa's wedding, out to lunch and to Wal*Mart. Then Sunday we went to Petsmart, Michaels, and Wal*Mart again! Kayla did amazing all three days with minimal crying and has been sleeping between 5 and 6 hours straight at night! Mommy and Daddy are very appreciative!
