4th of July

First 4th of July holiday for Kylie-girl! The day started out with a new "first": Kylie standing up on her own without holding onto anything. Go girl! She did this while we were at Laguna Blanca school watching a softball game that Chris was playing in (and caught the winning "out" for his team!).

After the softball game and a morning nap, we all went to Summerland Beach for the afternoon to hang out with friends and watch Chris skim board. Kylie LOVES the beach! We brought her Pack N Play with some toys and she played in there under an umbrella. She also walked hand-in-hand with her Daddy down the beach to find some dogs (or "da's") to play with. Kylie also enjoyed some time in the waves and sand. Thankfully, she hasn't tried to eat the sand...yet. Although she was covered in sand the rest of the day.

After the beach and an afternoon nap, we headed out to the Goleta fireworks celebration. We knew it would be hit or miss with Kylie, hoping for a "hit", but ended up being a "miss" :( We were on the grass in the front row, and I think it ended up being too loud for our sweetie. She had to be walked away because she was crying and trying to get away from it. But besides that, the evening was very fun together!

God Bless America!

XOXO,
