Chris' cousin has been staying with us for the past couple days, and it has been so much fun! Kaia just loves her! One of the many things Kaia loves to do with Becky is talk to her on the phone. (or pretend to talk with her.) Kaia will grab my cell phone and hold in just past her head....(not at her ear, but just past it) and she will jabber into the phone..
The phone is behind her head in this pic

I think she wanted a little privacy for that call...1 year going on 16....

Something else she started doing yesterday was copying her Grandpa Corotan and 'playing the congas'. She took a pack of Clorox wipes and starting pounding away at them...what can I say it's in the blood.. ( I think this is the same face my dad makes when he's playing the drums ;-)

She just keeps getting better!

I still get that same feeling when I look at Kaia. The one I got the first time I saw her, and held her. I can't believe she is mine, and I can't believe how perfect she is! We've had so much fun together this summer. She's such a good baby, and she brings so much love and happiness into our home. We are so blessed!

Our good friends (Russ and Deb) gave us a patio swing when they moved. We have it in our back yard and Kaia LOVES to swing on it. We go out at least twice a day. Just like her parents she loves to be outside and enjoy nature - (this has made camping very nice)

I was eating some milk chocolate Flipz the other day, and Kaia would not stop attacking me until I gave her one...this is the outcome...
She's a clever little girl...she didn't want the pretzel at all, she devoured the chocolate, and spit out the pretzel

Kaia slept about 14 hours one night. And it made me a little nervous that she was sleeping in so late. So I went in to check on her...She somehow pulled the bumper off the crib and crawled over, or under it. I found her sleeping like this. Maybe that's why she slept in so late...she was wresting the bedding all night...

Summer Fun!!

Kaia had her first ride behind a boat! When we started to go she looked a little nervous, but she was bouncing up and down by the time we were done, she had such a good time!

Kaikai borrowed her friends sun glasses, she actually left them on!
She's had so much fun on the boat this summer! We're so lucky to have such nice friends!
The past couple week's we've been going to a man made lake near Kk's cousin's house. She has so much fun playing in the water and in the sand and watching her big cousins run around. As soon as she saw me pull out my camera she pulled a face. Silly girl.
We went to a local swimming pool and splash pad on Saturday. She had so much fun!
She loves hanging out with her daddy, and was so happy he planned such a fun day for her.
She played so hard!! She fell asleep on the way home...sweet dreams Kk!!
