No Dad, this is how you do it.

What's sad is that in about 20 years she really will be the one showing us what to do on the latest techno gadgets that will be around. But for now, Daddy is prepping this future computer nerd.

I love my....

Trail mix box! Of all the toys that we have for these kids what they love the most is a good ole fashion box to play with. Keely went to town with this box for hours today.

Shhh...I'm gonna get him!

If I'm really, really quiet maybe he won't hear me and I can scare him!

Here's the story. I laid Keely down on her back next to the couch to talk and hang out with Daddy. I come back 5 minutes later and she had not only flipped over (nothing new) but then scooted backwards and then turned and continued to scoot behind the couch. I can only imagine what we're in for!

Mommy's Little Helper

We're getting this girl started on chores early. She's a great help at folding laundry, making the bed, and doing dishes. Just don't mind the drool on your shirt, sheets, and plate :)

Too Stinkin Cute

Look at this precious girl! I was going through the bag of clothes that Paul and Trish gave us and found the purple bow. I just couldn't resist, she looks so cute. This just means I need to go out and get more. I know, I'm turning into one of those moms.  Girls are just way to much fun, you just gotta dress them up. That's why they make all those clothes, right?

Help me Mom!

Lately Keely has become quite mobile. Although she is not crawling yet, we know we're not too far away. I imagine by Christmas she will figure out how to go forward. Since she figured out how to roll over she can now maneuver her way around the floor a bit more. She tries with all her might to move forward (looking like she's swimming in the air, it's hilarious to watch) but this results in scooting backwards which really frustrates this little girl. One thing is for sure, she does not lack passion and does not give up easily (traits she's inherited from her father). I'm finding that I can no longer walk out of the room assured she will be where I left her. Now I find her stuck in the oddest places, but she never fails to let me know when she needs help. As exciting as this next phase we're about to enter is, it also places me with NMS-Nervous Mom Syndrome. I'm looking at the house and as much as I baby-proof this place I know that things are bound to happen. She is growing more curious and wants to explore everything around her. I love watching her curiosity and know that her curiosity is what's really going to have me on my toes chasing her around the house. All part of the fun of being a new parent and stepping into the next phase, but in the meantime I'll keep the scooting for now. 

Mexican Hat Dance...or something like that.

Oh the silly things we begin to do when we become parents. You no longer care about humility and find yourself hitting pitches you never knew existed. My latest embarrassment is singing and dancing for Keely. I guess all that matters is that she sure does enjoy it! This is a little dedication to our new home in Nuevo Mexico, Viva Nuevo Mexico!
