11 MONTHS!!!!!

Our little girl is already 11 months?!?!

This is crazy....it seems like yesterday that we were taking her 1st month pictures and talking about how the time had flown by so quickly already. 

Here are her monthly pictures...cant believe we have only one more month before her 1st year picture!









Kayleigh's Unofficial stats:

Weight: Still squishly! And wonderful! 
Height: Tall girl...in 18 month clothes, but also able to fit in some 24 month pants. 

At 11 months Kayleigh...
-Is climbing on EVERYTHING (stairs, fireplace hearth, stools, ladders, anything she can get her little body onto!)
-Loves to walk holding onto fingers.
-Took 2 steps on her own tonight!
-Stands on her own without holding onto anything for extended periods of time. 
-Is a VERY speedy crawler.
-Loves being outside; in the backyard, at the park, on a walk, anything to be out in the fresh air (which we actually have in Rocklin- WOOOO no smog!)
-Loves other kids and most dogs.
-Eats a ton of different foods...as long as they aren't smashed up. Favorites include: any kind of lunch meat, yogurt, carrots, pickles, olives, cheese, pears, any kind of barbecued meat, and pasta.

Cousin Craziness

Kayleigh has had some quality time with her cousins over the past few weeks!

I apologize for the picture heavy blog, but here we go...

A few weeks ago we headed over to Dublin for an early Thanksgiving dinner with some of Joey's extended family. Kayleigh spent the day playing with her second cousin, Makea.



These two loved playing piano with Grandpa!



And then the Lewis family came into town for the entire week before Thanksgiving. The kids had a great time playing together and we were busy all week long with a trip to Apple Hill, lunch and a train ride at the Fountains, a trip to the zoo, and a lot of playing.

Making apple crisp with all of our yummy apples.

And extension of the cousins...the Linthicum kids joined us for a night of fun! Love these guys.

Hmmm....can I have some of those Cheerios Cooper?

The three Bears at the zoo.

 Kayleigh absolutely adores her big cousin Myles. Her little face lights up every time she sees him, and he can get a smile out of her just by looking her direction. Its very sweet.

 He had a great time pulling her around in the wagon, and Kayleigh was happy to sit with her feet up to read a magazine and enjoy the ride!

 Love these two looking out the window together.

 LOVE!!! Kayleigh, Myles, and Cooper all together and somewhat looking in the same direction...its a miracle!

We had a great week enjoying our family!
