Pictures: July 2007 Archives

So when my Mom was here for Kylie's blessing, she was kind enough to buy Kylie a gift of an activity mat -- the kind that has arching bars and toys attached so that the baby has stuff to look at and try to touch and (in the case of my daughter) try to kick. Her aim isn't always right on, but she puts lots of power behind each attempt. I think when she's older, we might have to have Aunt Margaret demonstrate some soccer moves.

She's also begun to turn over and move around a bit more. She always turns on her right side, usually by lifting her legs in the air and then throwing her whole body over. Kylie also manages to move while still on her side, usually in a circle, so that it looks like she's break-dancing very, very slowly. Then she spits up over everything and smears her face to indicate she's done. Good thing the mat is washable!

Speaking of which, must do laundry (again) tonight.

We blessed Kylie last Sunday (June 8, 2007) and everything went wonderful. We had in the circle Kyle, Travis (Kyle's brother), my Dad, Jason (Kyle's brother-in-law), Grandpa Anderson, Gary (Kyle's uncle), and Justin (Jason's brother -- which makes him Kylie's uncle's brother). Little Tara (Erin and Jason's new daughter who's six weeks and one day younger than Kylie) was also blessed.

Kylie went with my Mom during Sunday School and had her first ever bottle of formula. She seemed to do fine with it, but when she spit-up it stained more than usual <sigh>. I wish we could have learned that lesson when she was NOT wearing her pretty blessing dress. Luckily for me, my amazing mother-in-law came over after church and got out the stain. So all is well that rinses well, or something like that. <grin>
