Kacie's 4 month appointment

I realized I had not updated everyone on Kacie's 4 month check up, I realize now she is almost 5.5 months, but hey...We went to her 4 month check up about a month ago, Oct. sometime. She was 16lbs 2oz. and 26.5" long. She is still in the 95th percentile for height, still got it from her daddy I guess, oh and maybe her Grandpa Jim, Grand Daddy Hughes, Aunt Amy, Uncle David....yeah a few tall folks in her blood lines :).

She is eating 1 table spoon of rice cereal a day now, the pediatrician said we should have her eating 6 table spoons a day by the time she is six months old, we'll see, there is a bit of controversy on this whole subject, as to when you should start food. Some people say 6 months and our pediatrician says 4, what is a new mom to do. Kacie seems to be doing great with it, she opens her mouth wide for the spoon and seems to love her cereal.

She is progressing perfectly and seems to have all the skills down so far that is expected of her so we'll try and update you on her 6 month appointment before she is 7.5 months old :).

Family Photos

Recently we got some family photos taken of us for Mardi Gras. Dan and I and Kacie are royalty, I bet none of you knew that. As of this weekend I guess it is official that Dan and I will be the Mardi Gras in the Clouds 2009 King and Queen, you can all imagine Dan's excitement in all of this. :) He is being a good sport and looks great in a crown and cape. So, we were able to get some family photos after we had on our royal robes.

Tummy Time

Here are some pictures of Kacie on her changing table during tummy time recently. She is getting better and better at her tummy time. It is so much fun watching her grow and learn new things each week. She is much more attentive and aware of what is going on around her. God blesses us each day with the amazement of her life and the miracle in each new day. He is good all the time!!! All the time He is Good!!!

Oh, also here is a picture of a stylin' hat that was given to us by our friends Karen and Claire, so we had to get some photos!! Kacie, I think you'd look cute in a brown paper bag, I am bias. :)

New Bumbo video

Here is Kacie in her Bumbo about a week ago, she is getting much better at it and loves to play with her toys while sitting up now, she is a big girl :), sometimes that is the look on her face.

Happy Birthday Julie!!!

I'll post pics of Halloween and Aunt Julie's birthday soon. We had a great time! Dan, Kacie, Grammy Sue and I went to spend Julie's 27th B-Day with she and Tylan. We wanted to get together with Hunter too, but he was sick (better now!!) We got to take her out for lunch at Red Lobster and shopping and dinner at Texas Road House, had a great time!!!! We went to church all together as well and took our little pumpkins to church, they didn't get to wear their pumpkin Halloween costumes together on Sat. so we decided why not Sunday to church, they were so cute.

Thanks Aunt Julie for a great birthday weekend, we had a great time and can't wait to come back to see you again soon!!!

Kacie in her Bumbo

Kacie is learning to like her bumbo, I think it is really good for strengthening her body and it keeps her from toppling over. This video is pretty funny, hope you all enjoy and watch till the end. We are truly enjoying her, every bit.

Happy Birthday JEFF!!!
