Cutest Chick on the Block!

Kylie came to youth group for "wanna-be" night. She was the cutest little chick! I thought she was so cute that I took tons of pics as you will soon see...

We have a chick down!...

Kurt and I were American Idol contestants...you know, the first round freaks!

Pondering the events of the night...

No socks!

Kylie is not a big fan of socks! :) Well...she doesn't like them on her feet, but she does like to carry them around! It cracks me up when I go in to get her out of her crib and she has pulled them off her feet, and has either thrown them on the ground, or is waving them in the air & smiling from ear to ear! :)

"Let me out!"

She was standing right at a vent, and the heater had just kicked in! It's nice to have low windows so that Kylie can look out!

Crawlin' around in new PJ's

Exploring the kitchen while Mommy cooks dinner...

Our little girl is gettin' so big! :)

11 Months!

Kylie was not really interested in sitting by her bear...but standing was a different story! :)

Kat & Kylie doing what Kylie likes best...reading!!! :)

Taton's 5th Birthday! Kaina is actually taller than Tate, but he was standing on a bench!

Kylie enjoying the party!

Monkey in the mouth...

Tate's B-day present in the mouth...

mmmm...ice cream in the mouth...

Gotta love the cheese-smile! ;)

"Do you need something? I'm reading."

O man, it was a rough night!

Enjoying a beautiful sunny day in the front yard

Kylie's favorite drawer in the kitchen!

I can't believe Kylie is already 11 months old! What a joy she is! Thank you Jesus for such a precious little miracle!

10 Months!

I'm a little late this month posting her 10 month pictures! So, there are quite a few from Sept 23rd till now. I tried to upload a couple video clips, but they didn't seem to work. I'll try again later! You'll notice that She is wearing Iowa Hawkeye clothing more than once. The Hawkeyes played a couple times so, of course, we had to dress for the occasion! :)

Nothing can take her away from a good book...even the Hawkeyes! ;)

Reading with Daddy is the best!

Such good times!

Kylie is enjoying her freedom now that she can crawl faster and pull herself up to things on her own. She follows Mommy around the house!

Her first experience with this sweet toy...I remember playing with this same toy when I was little! The shoes she is wearing are corrective shoes. She has a "crooked foot" and needs to wear these for a while. Hope they work!!!

It was a long day! Now time to snuggle with Grandma Rietema...

OOOO, The Hawkeyes must be playing again...

Yup!

Smiles!

We were at Smokey Row (a local coffee house for those of you who don't know)

Trying to use the spoon herself...

Daddy is a bad influence when it comes to beverages. He loves Cream Soda!

A little playtime in the PJ's before bed...so cute! :)

Rides with Daddy!

Kylie uses whatever is around to stand up...

Kylie's pretty stoked on the mirror!

Hmmmm...

This bag is where all of her flashcards and books are...for some reason she looks a little guilty!

Oh yes, 10 Months with the bear!

Mommy & Kylie having a great day together!
