Spring Break

I can't get the text to go on top of this picture - good 'ole Blogspot. Above is Kaitlyn in her new toy. Well, not exactly her new toy, but Payton's on loan. She's enjoying having something new and exciting to play with! Jeff was SO excited to see yet another huge addition to our living room! :) Hey, at least this one we can give back when we are done...(much to Jayson's excitement, I'm sure).

We started giving Kaitlyn rice cereal last weekend. She's not getting much yet, but she seems to enjoy it! She's sitting in her high chair (thank you Auntie Megs and Carolyn!) like a big girl, too. She's doing well so far with the cereal, and we are excited to start other foods when she is six months old.


One of her best friends :)
She's just starting to pull her legs up when she's on her tummy. Uh oh...
We can't leave these two along together. Yuck!! :) (They both love it, as you can see.)
Big girl starting to sit up on her own!!
That's it for now. I am off work for spring break. Good thing, because Kaitlyn decided to get up a few extra times last night...hopefully that's just a fluke and not a new pattern. She does do that every once in a while to keep us on our toes. I'll just be hanging out and enjoying my daughter all week. Grandma Bonnie is doing me a huge favor and coming over to play with Kaitlyn while I go to work tomorrow to catch up (nothin' like unpaid hours when I already work too much!). Kaitlyn has started to recognize her grandparents, and gets excited when they walk in; too cute! She loves them. :)

Bouncin' Baby

Okay, so this is probably proof that all parents think their own kids are cute, but Jeff and I can't get enough of Kaitlyn actually jumping in her jumperoo. She used to just sit there and maybe push off once in a while, but yesterday it "clicked" and she was all of a sudden just goin' to town! So, while we understand that others may not see the big deal or think that this is the cutest/funniest thing ever, I am going to post a video anyway.:)

Notice the proud daddy and grandpa (and mom on the phone with grandpa getting the play-by-play...)

Happy Friday!

Blogging From Work

Our computer at home is so dang slow that I decided to bring my camera in to work - much better! The kids have half days today and tomorrow so we can have conferences with parents.
I only have a short break, so that's all the update you get! Here are some pictures...

A seldom-seen sight: Kaitlyn napping unswaddled! It didn't last long, but she sure looked cute! :)

Helping Mrs. Collins finish report cards:

She loves playing in her crib :)


This is the backpack my parents got us for a shower. My family goes to Chelan every summer, and the summer when I was a baby, my dad was up with me at about 4:00 every morning, walking up and down the road with me in the backpack. He said he saw more sunrises that week than he ever had. So, he wanted Jeff to have a backpack for our Chelan trip this summer :) Kaitlyn and I had to try it out:
I have been trying forever to get video on here of Kaitlyn rolling from her back to her tummy. Our computer at home would never finish uploading it. So, here it is, a few weeks late!

Kaitlyn and I went to see Great Grandma Gertrude today. Kaitlyn got all dressed up:)

Ooohhh...that looks good, Dad.

Gimme some! (We don't give Kaitlyn any water yet because she doesn't need it, but she was sure interested!)
