Making progress!

Who needs one of those walking toys when you have a laundry basket?!?!

She makes progress to walking on her own every day. Our lives continue to drastically change! 

Love those little diaper buns :)

Baby steps

No, she is not walking yet. 

But...I love this video because of her sweet "little" legs! 

These days are just flying by!!! I remember the days of cuddling all day long and wondering what it would be like when Kayleigh started becoming more independent. Just cant believe we are already there! 

9 months!

Oh my gosh. How did these 9 months fly by so quickly? 

This little girl has quite the personality! We are absolutely loving watching her grow into it! 

Here she is...

And here is the reason for the blurry spot on most of the pictures :)

Getting her to sit nicely next to her little lamb is a thing of the past! 

And the little escape artist decides she is done with this photo shoot. 

And pouts when she is returned to the chair. 

Fine Mom...one more picture and I'm out of here! 

Hmmm...Cant go over the back...

How about the side? 

Dad caught me! 

I found a way out of here!

On the move!

Although Kayleigh has been crawling for a few weeks, she really started taking off in the past few days! 

Life has drastically changed for us around here! Nothing seems to be out of reach for this determined little one :)

Watching this little girl grow up has been the most amazing thing that we have ever experienced! 

7 Months!

Let's just pretend that this blog was done 18 days ago, when Kayleigh actually turned 7 months old! Im going to backtrack to what she was doing a few weeks ago because so much has changed since! 

Life has been busy. Moving, unpacking, and starting work has been overwhelming, but we are enjoying our new lifestyle! 

Onto this sweet little girl who is growing up waaaay too fast! 

So bored...can we be done yet?
