1st Month in Massachusetts

Greetings All,

I hope you all are doing well. We have completed 1 month in the Bay State and we are adjusting well, but we miss, miss, miss the Bay Area. Kailey is now 9 months old and is developing new skills and talents everyday. The day after last month's post she began to crawl... quite military combat like, but a crawl none the less. And now, she is pulling to a stand all the time and wanting to stand up all day. Not only is she standing but she is now CRUISING... the first steps to walking (literally). She cruises along the couch, her crib, the ottoman, and just about anything else sturdy enough to support her. Sheryl noticed another feat of Kailey's during her and Uche's visit: Kailey is attempting to stand w/o support - she pushes herself up from a crawl position, with her legs straight and butt up in the air... after a few seconds of wiggling on her hands, she falls (gently) to the floor. Needless to say everyday with Kailey is an adventure, I feel truly blessed to be her mom and and so thankful that I have had the opportunity to stay home with her and love on her as I have -- ain't God good!

Leandrew and I are doing well and adjusting to out life outside the Bay Area. Leandrew is enjoying work and adjusting the different hours and the "all the time-ness" of the work. Kailey and I are adjusting to this too. Every now and then Kailey and I will take a ride on the T (subway) to surprise daddy with an afternoon visit. Kailey causes much pause in the office as folks often ask Leandrew "is this yours?"... which is funny to me, because it makes Kailey sound like a puppy, but I get what they are saying, so we give them a pass (hehee).

oh yeah, Kailey went to her first (MLB) baseball game -- At the new YANKEE STADIUM, wild, right?!?! She's such an explorer. And thanks to her family in NY (Ced, Brent, Dom, Steph), she had royal accommodations. Kailey also received money on the NY subway from a lady... random acts of kindness, I guess.

Other facts about Kailey @ 9months, she:

- eats 3 solid meals a day (and nurses in between)

- loves to swing at the park

- splashes water uncontrollably when taking a bath

- eats baby puff snacks

- sleeps through the night, in her own bed, in her own room (from about 9p-5:30a)

- enjoys cinnamon in her oatmeal

- likes to drink water from a water bottle

- still tries to play with our cell phones

What else, what else... I know there's more, but, I try to keep the narrative short so, i'll wrap it up and get to some pics and video.

Try this video....

So, we moved...

Greetings Family,

We MOVED back to New England! That's right, we are back on the east coast. Kailey is doing well and getting bigger all the time. She is 8 months old today and acting every bit of it. As many of you know, Kailey got a hold of my phone and damaged it beyond repair, so I am recollecting all my contacts -- aarggh. But, ya know, such is life with a sweet lil baby. I know you are asking, what does an 8month old do... well here's a short list (specific to Kailey of course).

Kailey can:

scoot backwards

pass an object from one hand to the other

understand object permanence

say repetitive sounds "babababa, dadada, mamamama" -- which we interpret to mean mommy and daddy, of course

sleep through the night (if and when she so chooses)

sit up unsupported

eat solid (pureed foods) -- she like sweet potatoes, squash, carrots... she must be a root lover like her mama!

laugh OUT LOUD loudly

wave

throw a tantrum (arch her back and throw her head back)

kinda give a kiss

pull herself to a stand in a crib/pack n play

... i'll stop here bc I said it'd be short list.

Here is a video from yesterday of Kailey reading enjoy...

Much love & promises of more posts.
