Opryland Hotel and more...

This is a picture of Kaylen petting the sting rays. They were very slimey! After we let her do that we realized that we needed to wash her hands quick since they were going straight to her mouth!
Kaylen loved playing at Cool Springs Galleria.
The carousel was Kaylen's favorite!

Remember this is Rylie... not Kaylen! :)

Enjoy the pics!

Kaylen - 11 months old!

This year has really flown by! Kaylen and I did a photo shoot the other day. I got inspired after taking pictures of my friends newborn. I hope you enjoy this random assortment of my beautiful darling!

Kaylen - almost 11 months!

Time is just flying by and Kaylen is almost 11 months old! That is so hard for me to believe! This has been the fastest year of my life! These are just a few pictures of Kaylen and me this morning before I went to work. She is just getting so darn cute! She laughs so much these days and is always just full of joy! Even when she was sick... she was still smiling...

Kaylen fell asleep while she was eating!

I know I havent posted in a while so I decided to give you guys a few little snapshots of Kaylen at dinnertime. She just fell asleep WHILE I was feeding her! She probably has food in her mouth that she hasnt even swallowed yet! On another note... she got her first cold over Thanksgiving. :( Her temp got up to 102.5! She is on an antibiotic now and is doing better but still extremely snotty! Stay tuned for our christmas light pictures!

NEWS!!!!

I dont have a picture today but... I would like to let everyone know that Kaylen walked last night! I put her arms length away from me and let go... she came running to me! I screamed so loud that it scared her! That didnt keep her from doing it over and over again though. Sometime she never really had her balance... she just ran and fell into my arms but sometimes she did actually walk to me. She was sooo cute! Just thought I would share my good news with all my many readers! She is 9 months old for a few more days! ;) So now I can say she started walking at 9 months... sort of... Have a great weekend everyone! More pics to come! Btw... I miss all the comments... is it because I havent been posting as much lately? I think I should broaden my site content if I want more comments... any suggestions? I need dialog... all I do is talk to 7th and 8th graders all day!

My butterfly going down a slide...

Here are a few really short videos of Kaylen going down the slide... I am not kidding when I tell you they are REALLY short! Enjoy!

kaylen Walking... sideways!

alright... so i am rather retarded when it comes to all this new technology... i created a youtube video of kaylen walking with the walker... first thing i did wrong... i turned my camera sideways... how dumb was that!?!?! anyway, so i am going to try again and get her right side up! anyway, second thing i am confused on is getting the video embeded on my website... i copied the html stuff that youtube gave me and then pasted it on the edit html tab of the create post area and nada... what am i doing wrong all of my technology savvy friends... jodi? i know you know! so for now here is my link of kaylen walking...

We had to put this life jacket on her as the fun police came by... she didnt seem to mind too much but she could barely move her arms!
This is Kaylen and Jonah playing on the boat. They had a blast.

This is when kaylen was about to get in the water - she loved being in there!
