9 Months

Happy girls!

Kylie's a big fan of mirrors!

She looks giant in this picture...

okay, that's better! :)

On the move!

Playin' in Daddy's office...

Reminds me of Schroeder from the Peanuts...She sat like that herself. I didn't know babies could sit cross-legged like that! ;)

So, we were spending some time in the front yard. She was not so excited about the feel of the grass on her legs...

"This is called a leaf...right?"

She was much happier on the front step...

Pretty in pinks!

Daddy & Kylie at the sundial in the square uptown.

Back home from our walk...

On another walk...

Once again, she was not liking the feel of the grass so much...



At the park on a beautiful Sunday afternoon...


If Mommy looks tired it's because Kylie has had some rough days the last couple weeks...a lingering cold, ear infection, 6 teeth coming in, not sleeping at night...


Kylie has a new favorite book!



Our stroller is a little big for her to sit in without the car seat...but she hates sitting in the car seat...she wants to be able to look out and around. So, we put her in the Bumbo seat in the stroller so she could sit up and not squirm out...it worked really well. I'm all stoked!

August Days

Kylie is in the process of getting 6 new teeth right now! She is also getting over another ear infection. So, needless to say, it's been a rough couple weeks. However, we still got some smiles out of her to share...
Probably can't tell, but we try to get it in her mouth...

Garage Sale at Grandma's...with Auntie Angie!

The piece of tape on her shirt says "not for sale."

Oh yeah, sportin' the shades...well, kind of...Auntie put them on a little crooked! :)

She was the greeter at the money table...

Pay no attention to the warning sign in the box...she was having fun!

Kylie & Kaina playing inside
Kaina gave Kylie a little break from being out in the heat of the garage sale! :)

Grandma & Kylie at church


Daddy's favorite dress...he had her stand up to model it

just missed the smile!

Daddy loves to see her stand up. Mommy wants her to crawl before she walks!

Reading her favorite book with Daddy

Kylie's not a very big fan of this rice cake thing...she just bites off pieces and then plays with them til they get sticky all over...nice!

Grandma & Grandpa Rietema are moving to Michigan. They let us have the rocking chair that Kurt was rocked in as a baby. We put it in Kurt's office...I'm all stoked to have a comfy chair there now. :) Kyle was testing it out as well...


Playing on the floor in Daddy's office...

Kylie liked the taste of this catalog...the ink from the paper on her face proves it! oops!

This blanket was made for Kylie by some mommas in Tanzania! We love it! Thank you!


Crawling is getting better every day!

Now, if Daddy would just let her crawl more... ;)

It's already apparent that Kylie loves her Daddy...now she's starting to like the things he does as well! Go hawkeyes!
