8 Months! Or Wait, Didn't She Just Turn 7 Months?

Well here we are!  8 months!  How did THAT happen?
Beets are delicious!

I feel like March has gone by in a blur.  I can't even remember most of it!  I managed to survive my 2nd quarter, even though I hated one of my classes.  I managed to get two A's and one A minus.  Not too shabby.  Lance finished his quarter strong as well.  It was his first quarter back after Kaylee was born.  We all survived!

Kaylee continues to grow like a weed.  I can't keep that baby in pants that are long enough!  She has a new trick.  She likes to make this crazy face and make an "eeee" sound.  She loves to have you imitate her.  So silly.

In other Kaylee news, we are signing her up for a toddler group co-op with the other babies she hangs out with.  The whole process is a little insane.  At one of the places we were looking into, parents line up 2 hours early to get a spot!  We decided to try a different group, so we'll see what we end up with.  It seems so weird to think about toddler groups for next year when she is still just a baby!

This past weekend, we decided to try out a family vacation.  We went to Victoria BC on the Clipper for two nights.  Kaylee did ok on the boat...she slept most of the way there, but had a hard time on the way back.  Luckily the Japanese couple in front of us loved Kaylee.  I was a little worried they were going to take her back to Japan with them!  But they were really sweet to her. 

In Victoria, we did a ton of walking around and a little shopping.  We had a nice dinner at a Japanese restaurant and we let Kaylee try a little miso soup and some soy sauce.  Miso yum!  Soy sauce...meh.  We also had some delicious fish n' chips on the wharf.  Kaylee didn't get to sample that cuisine. 

Can I keep it, Mommy?
Yay! Skulls!
We took Kaylee to a petting farm that had a ton of goats!  And there were about 4 baby goats.  I was in love, of course, but Kaylee also seemed to enjoy them quite a bit.  We visited the Royal BC Museum.  Kaylee liked the animal skulls.  Creepy baby.  We also went to the Bug Zoo.  It was actually pretty neat.  Lance got to hold a bunch of bugs and was totally loving it.  Kaylee was even pretty interested!

It was a pretty different experience traveling with a baby - so much preparation and you are pretty limited, but it was definitely a fun family outing and Kaylee traveled better than we were expecting.

7 Months!!

I am little behind on this thing since its been a week and a half since Kaylee turned 7 months.  But it has been a long couple of weeks and the important thing is I am doing it now, right?
This meal didn't go over so well

Things have been busy, but good in the Naugle household.  Kaylee LOVES her solid foods.  We haven't run across a single thing she won't eat.  She has things she likes better than others, but nothing she has actually rejected.  She is a good little eater!  We are taking advantage now because I'm sure she will be a lot more picky as she gets older!

Happy Valentine's Day!
She is also sitting up like a pro.  She has figured out how she can still kick her legs AND remain upright.  This is very important. Kaylee figured out how to get out of "tummy time" by finally learning to roll from her stomach to her back.  She has also added "mummummum" and "baah baah baah" to her vocabulary.  She is quite the talker and has an opinion on EVERYTHING!  It is so much fun to see her personality come alive.  And I fear for myself a little - haha!





Blowing raspberries - a favorite activity
I'm glad this quarter is coming to an end soon.  It is really only one class that is dragging me down, but I really really hate it.  Lance and I decided to go to Victoria, BC for a couple nights during our spring breaks.  I am so excited to get away!!  I need a vacation!
