Eight Months

My silly billy girl is 8 months now!

At 8 months:
*Eats pineapple, mango, blueberries and green beans.
*Throws her head backwards after she takes a bite.
*Plays a new spitting game too after she takes a bite.
*Tried chocolate ice cream. I think we'll be buying a lot more ice cream than we already do.
*Also tried daddy's soda.
*Went from side sleeping to tummy sleeping. She loves to sleep on her stomach! Sometimes it's the only way she'll fall asleep.
*Says "dada" and "baba". Uh, what about "mama"?
*Starting to cuddle way more than she used to, which makes us so happy.
*This girl has developed quite the personality. She is such a hoot!
*Her new thing is to squint the bottom part of her eyes and fake cry. You can't help but laugh when she does it.
*She makes so many funny faces each day and knows she's being funny.
*I think that she is going to be a very social girl. She loves to be around people and laugh with them.
*She scoots all around, but mostly backwards.
*Loves dogs. She loves them on TV, she loves our friends dogs, but she mostly loves her puppy Khan.


***Hi sweet stuff! You are doing a very good job at making mommy and daddy laugh every single day. I think you know what you're doing and know how to lighten the mood. You are so active and learning and growing so much. I feel like within a month, you have changed so much. You are still our very sweet princess, just a silly one now. Thank you for taking us on this fun ride. I love you!!!

Fourth of July!

Happy 4th from this American beauty!

We had a fun fourth this year. We spent the day at the park and enjoyed all the vendors and making fun of the band (they were just bad). Then we checked into our suite at Pechanga, left to go watch the fireworks from our car up this hill, which is the way to do it. You could see everything, you can't hear them going off, so Kaia slept in her car seat the whole time, and it was kind of romantic. Then we enjoyed the rest of the time at Pechanga,. I miss Utah's forth festivities, but this was a fun year too!

Zoo with some new friends.

We recently became friends with these awesome people in our ward. They have a little girl a few months older than Kaia and she is so cute! We've loved getting to know them and hanging out. Their parents came into town and so we took them to the zoo with our passes and did we have a good time! His dad is a funny man. Plus, they are a family of hunters, so they knew a lot about the animals. No better company to spend the day with.

Looking at the gorillas booty!

She was all about daddy's soda!

I love this sweet girl of mine!

Is she not so cute?! I love her hair!

This bear was putting on quite the show for us.

These foot massagers are a must every time we go.

There were two little cubs and one would not leave its mother alone. It was the cutest thing to see them play.

This is the life! If you can't tell, his arms are folded, feet crossed and relaxing while listening to the waterfall.
