Kasey 7 months old & some other updates

7/2 - Kasey drank from a straw for the first time.

We've officially started a backyard project today. We are getting a new stained cement patio with a covered arbor on part of it. We are excited. I'll post pictures once we get further down the road

Landon decided he wanted to help feed Kasey, and so we let him. He did a really good job, but it made me nervous.

6/28
We went to the neighborhood pool with the Turners. Kasey actually got in the water for the first time. She seemed to enjoy it. Hopefully this week I'll actually get her a bathing suit so she's not just wearing blue swim diapers and a pink shirt!

Kasey turned 7 months today.

She's pretty much in 12 month clothes now. She's eating at least 1 solid meal a day, and this weekend when we went out we took some food with us to help keep her entertained. She's had rice cereal, avocado, banana and peaches. We've used all organic so far. She seems to do well and actually seems to eat more in the evenings. She's still getting only breastmilk for her main food.

She's trying to move towards things. She really wants to get there. She will roll over and try to reach things and really try to move towards them, but she's not quite getting there. She also will lay her head down from sitting up and play peak a boo. I took a video because I thought it was cute.

She's also pushing her arms through her clothes when we get her dressed pretty well.
She seems to have a hard time going to sleep lately. She's teething, but she's not sleeping as much during the day so she'll take a late afternoon nap and then want to stay up until after 10. She'll sleep 7-9 hours which is pretty good.

6/27 - Landon slept in underwear instead of pull ups for the first time. He did a good job and went potty when he got up

6/26
We think Kasey will be on the move soon. This past week she's started rolling over in her bed when she's not really tired. We had to lower the crib because she'd roll over and just look over the top of the crib.

She's gotten up on all 4s a couple times. She'll also try to reach really far to get something. She'll even turn or get on her stomach to get something she wants.

This week she's started moving backwards.

She's also getting to know her surroundings more. The other night I had her on Landon's bed, and he had some sand on it from taking a nap right after school. She started moving her legs back and forth like she was trying to feel it. Monday I put her in the grass for the first time and she was feeling the grass and moving her legs like she did on Landon's bed. Fun to watch her explore.

Landon is really going into the I'm not going to take a nap phase. Unfortunately that means that he's usually really tired in the evening. He cries about just about anything when he's really tired.

Hard to tell from here but she's kind of doing the splits. She'll go from sitting up to this position alot now.
Landon actually asked me to take a picture of him with his trains. You can see some of his new paint art work in the background.
6/28 - At the pool in the neighborhood
Kasey in the pool really for the first time that. Last time we went to the pool Kasey and I just sat on the steps, but she didn't really get in the water.
Sweet kiddos. See other post the other day for Peek a Boo videos
Landon decided he wanted to help feed Kasey. I wasn't sure, but he did a good job.
