Yay Stevie!!

A couple of weeks ago, Stevie graduated from Rowan with her BS in Business (hahaha. sorry.)

We went down to see it happen and celebrate with her. She picked a perfect weather day, cloudy and warm, but not too sunny and no rain--a good thing since the first ceremony was outside with no shade. Kaida has a constant squint/scowl thing going on in every picture because it was still bright, even with all the cloud cover. It's okay, she's still cute :) Lessons for when drew graduates: bring food, sunblock (yes, I still got burnt), and seat cushions!

Anyway, here are just a few pictures from the day!

such a pretty face

What's this?? Posting and it's not a month milestone for Kaida or a Doctor's appointment update?? Has the world gone mad???

Just thought I'd share some pictures we took this afternoon. I may or may not have had a bit of fun in photoshop :)





And if you were wondering, we are all doing very well. Stevie graduates on Friday (yay!!) so we'll be going to see that, and we are really just enjoying the weather finally warming up. I'd like to say this is the start of more frequent posting, because I'd really like it to be, but we'll just have to see about that.

10 Months

10 months. 2 months to go 'til the big 1.

And after crawling comes walking. No, she's not there yet, but she's well on her way--cruising along the furniture and beginning to stand without helping hands. And she is, of course, quicker than ever with the crawling and climbing. The necessary reorganizing of the house (to keep important things out of Kaida's tiny, curious grasp) is underway.


Surprisingly, Kaida doesn't have any more teeth and the one she's got has barely moved since last month. But there are signs that three more are on their way--life is getting particularly slobbery recently and there is a hint of white below the gums.


She's also become quite the champion eater. This month she devoured lasagna, pasta shells stuffed with ricotta and spinach, strawberries, eggs (both scrambled and hard boiled), cheese (just cheese in general), a ground chicken burger, ground beef in tacos (soft shell--of course!--both at home and at Moe's!), tomatoes, clementines, and likely others that we simply can't remember.


With all her new eating and moving, we've got a lot of energy to contain. Luckily, it's finally time to go outside! Every time we wheel her out in the stroller she does a full body wiggle of excitement. Things are going to be fun.
