Kylie: On August 11th, I turned 2 months old, and life is very different from 2 weeks old..my life still consists of eating and sleeping, but I also get to do a lot more PLAYING! I’m pretty good at playing on my own, but I prefer to play with my best friend - Mommy! We sing songs, laugh, coo and “kick kick kick” a lot together. My Mommy thinks I will be a soccer star because I sure like to kick a lot, especially against my Mommy and the pillows. My favorite songs are “How Much Is That Doggie in the Window,” “Bah Bah Black Sheep,” and “Snuggle Me Warm.” I also like to use my voice a lot more. It seems to get a fun reaction out of those around me. I also recently found that I can suck on my hand and like to do that a lot too.
The hardest part of my day is letting myself fall asleep. I usually take 4 naps a day, with much effort from Mommy to help me fall asleep when I’m tired. I know I want to sleep, I just don’t know how yet. I can tell that this frustrates Mommy sometimes, but I don’t know what I’m doing - I’m just a baby!
On October 10th I was blessed by my Daddy at church. He said some really sweet things to me, and I’m looking forward the blessings in my life that he promised.
I met my cousin Baby Julia for the first time that day. I can tell that she is going to be my best friend.
Holding hands!
Aren't I adorable?
I also went in the pool for the first time, and boy was that traumatic! It was so cold! Mommy told Daddy to take me in slowly, but he just walked me right in and I was shocked! Fortunately, he took me out right away, and I proceeded to sleep for like 2 hours in my car seat to recover from the experience. At least I had a cute outfit!
Too cool for school
At my 10 week appointment, I was 13 1/2 pounds and 23 inches long. Dr. Vic says that’s 90th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height for my age. Mommy says I must be a good eater! I did not enjoy this appointment because Dr. Vic stuck me with a needle 5 times! I was sure startled and it hurt pretty bad. I was crying and Mommy was pretty sad too. My parents told me it was for the best, even though it DID NOT feel good. Those shots made me act pretty unusual for about a day and a half. I didn’t really feel like playing, just eating and sleeping and fussing around.
In the past month, I’ve done a bit of traveling. I went with Mommy and Daddy to San Diego for a week, which was pretty fun. Although I did not like the beach there as much as the beach in Santa Barbara. I also went down to visit Grandma Carole, Grandpa Jim and Aunt Amanda for a weekend - just me and Mommy. That was a long car ride, but I got a nice nap out of it. I love playing with Grandma and Grandpa, except that they try to keep me awake to play when I’m really tired. I guess they just love me and want to be with me as much as possible.
Great Grandma Jean!

I recently really like to take naps in my swing. I don’t know why, but it makes me so sleepy! I still like to go on long walks in the stroller with Daddy too. He usually takes me on Sunday mornings so Mommy can have some time to herself.

I have a few friends already - I see Steven & Rebecca Hall and Ryder Hill pretty frequently. Don’t tell Mommy, but I like to think that Steven is my boyfriend ;)
Kisses from Steven!
Hangin' with Ryder
Well that’s all for now, I’m getting sleepy again... here's one more picture of me as a pumpkin!! Happy Halloween!
