Man I am falling behind. Kyrah has had some big events this past two weeks. She had her first night away from home June 6th when we went to Sullivan, MO for Broc's Baseball Tournament. She slept in the bed with me and Broc and Dennis slept in a bed together. I didn't get much sleep that first night because I was so worried she would roll off the bed so I put her in the middle of it, which means I had no room. Plus she had her feet next to my belly and would kick me all night long. The second night went better.

She also had her first trip out of state Father's day weekend to Jackson, TN. Again another ball tournamnet. This was a 3 hour drive and she did great. She also went to her first double AA game - so did Mommy!

She also had her 7th month birthday on June 12th and we have started giving her cereal at each meal now, before she only got ate baby food twice a day.

The sitter said it was time to start cheerios, but I think they seem too hard for her, like she will not mush it up and will try to swallow it whole. I guess I just have to try it and see how it goes.

Kyrah still has some of the same habits she has since she was born. She likes to hold her hands together. She is still spitting a lot - the cute kind of spitting where she makes her lips vibrate - she will do this during meal time as well and get her food everywhere.

Now when she takes a bottle she will raise one hand over her eyes and drink it with her eyes closed.

We went to Aunt Tina's yesterday and went swimming. Kyrah loves to splash the water which surprises me because it gets on her face and I am surprised she likes that.

Here she is in the hotel showing off her sunflower.

Kyrah is getting such a personality. She is a great baby. She does not fuss much and can play by herself on the floor -sitting up for 30-45 minutes at a time. She will laugh a lot and eats, sleeps well. Most of this blog has been about the wonderful things she does and how great she is - don't get me wrong she had been a great baby, but there are times when it is a challenge. She still wakes up in the night - we don't have to go to her now that she knows how to put her pacifier in, but she will make a lot of noise which wakes us up. She doesn't like lotion time either - right after her bath we put her on the changing table to put lotion and her pjs on - well I am not sure if she is cold, hungry or just doesn't want to lay down, but she will fuss when we put lotion on. She will often fuss when she is in her high chair waiting for us to make her dinner - but who blames her on that - I don't like waiting for food either. Other then that it is just a random fuss to change postions or get a different toy. When she was really little around the 2nd month she was on this kick that only I could hold her and make her happy - that was a challenge espically after being with her all day long and I wanted a break but Dennis holding her just didn't cut it.

Overall she has been an excellent baby and if I could guarantee all my babies would be like her I would have a bunch.

Here is Kyrah on June 1st showing off her snazzy July 4th dress - which will probably not fit her by the time July 4th rolls around...
