Thank you Kristi!

So here are a few more pictures of my wonderful little family...

God has blessed me tremendously!

Couldn't wait...

So I know I already put up one post tonight, but I just couldn't wait to share this. A friend of mine is an amazing photographer and offered to take Caylee's picture. She has only posted this one picture so far, but I will be sharing more when I get them...

LOOK AT THOSE BEAUTIFUL EYES!!!

4 month check up

We had Caylee's 4 month visit with Dr. Kolanz and she is a very happy and healthy 15 lb. 2 oz. and an impressive 26 inches long. I am proud to share that the doctor said she is, "well ahead of the game." She is getting better and better at sitting up unassisted and is extremely vocal. They suspect that she will be crawling quite soon. I am such a proud mommy :)

So to celebrate the good news with the doctor we gave her, her very first beer... Ok, we didn't give her a beer, but boy did she want one. She kept grabbing Kyle's any time he would turn his head, so I had to get a picture. Since she she will not take a regular bottle maybe we should just put formula in a beer bottle... Grandma and Grandpa Serby gave Caylee this play blanket. It is the coolest thing EVER! Each square represents a member of the family with something they love and their names, and everything does something or make some kind of noise. There are squeakers, bells, rattles, and even a Jesus Loves Me book. She loves her blanket very much!

We are practicing for football season... Maybe by football season she will be a little better at sitting in her rocking chair that Grandma Jones gave her.

She loves cuddling with her elephant. It is one of the only ways I can get her to take a nap.

To see things like a child...

In my opinion, one of the coolest things about being a mom is the fresh perspective that you get on virtually every aspect of your life. I frequently find myself wondering what Caylee is thinking. For her, every day brings new experiences and new things to stick in her mouth :) What would it be like to remember those times? The first time you felt grass? Or in our most recent case, the first experience with a spoon? It makes me realize that the important moments in life really are the small ones. Thanks to Caylee, my world is a more beautiful and simple place and I wouldn't change for anything.

Caylee with my friend, Maya at her daughter's b-day party. She didn't really like the birthday hat too well...

She did, however, really like the big girl swing!

... And her fingers... as usual.

First taste of some yummy rice cereal.

Not only did she really seem to enjoy the cereal, but she LOVED the spoon! I wish that I had gotten a picture of it, but she was grabbing it out of my hand and putting it in her mouth. Too cute!

We are hoping she will continue to enjoy the rice cereal, and maybe it will fill her up enough to help her sleep through the night... Mommy would be thrilled!! :)

Jack of all trades

Today Caylee spent so long with her books that I just had to get a picture and post it. She spend almost a whole hour reading her Noah's Ark book; and by reading I mean eating...
She looks like she is trying to turn the page... Man she's smart :)


Playing Guitar Hero with daddy... What can't this girl do?!?!

Just had to show some more pictures of our beautiful and talented little treasure...

Take me out to the ball game...

It looked like cousin Landon had so much fun at his first baseball game that we just had to do that too! Our friends Katie, Lindsey, and her 3 year old son Willie, met us at the Rockies game for an afternoon of fun.

We learned after the game that Caylee has some strong feelings towards Todd Helton...

After the game we all met Chris and Todd for a picnic in the Park. Unfortunately, while we were playing someone ran into Katie and Lindsey's rental car.

A warm day ended in a chilly night waiting for police reports, tow trucks, and a new rental car.Finally, after almost five hours our adventure ended with a tired and hungry baby, cold and tired parents and a dog that had a blast... Overall, it was a pretty great day :)

March for Babies

This past Saturday the 25th several of us participated in the March of Dimes, March for Babies walk in loving memory of my friend's first born, Lily Raine. We gathered a team of about 13 people who, I am proud to say, raised over $800 in two weeks for research in preventing infant fatalities from birth defects, prematurity, and stillbirth. Kyle and I bundled Caylee up and pulled out the stroller for the first time. We met my parents for the five mile walk through the city. The weather was chilly and sleeting rain; and with every step I had to thank God for my healthy baby girl sleeping soundly in her stroller. It was very moving to see so many people walking for their own personal reasons. I walked for the hope that no other mother will have to experience the loss of their precious child and to keep the memory of sweet little Lily alive. Hopefully, next year my dear friend will be able to bundle up her new little addition and join us in walking for Lily...

Beautiful Lily, Gone too soon...
