Here is Kaylyn on Christmas Day. She enjoyed Christmas more than I thought she would. Her favorite toy is the turtle (peaking out under her arm). It plays songs and flashes when you push the buttons. One day she might actually press the triangle when they suggest it, but for now it's just fun that it flashes. But she also loves the vibrating teething ring Grandma got her. And anything she can get her hands on right now. I am re-baby proofing my house at the moment.

We spent Christmas Eve Day with Grandma and Grandpa Cook. Grandpa enjoyed having his baby out.

So we decorated the Christmas tree with Candy canes so the kids could arrange and rearrange them. While I was showering one morning, Kylee shared with Kaylyn. She is so good about thinking of her sister. So here is Kaylyn sucking on her candy cane. She sucked her sticky hands when (after snapping the picture) I took the candy cane away.

We made Kaylyn some applesauce. Karla and Kylee even helped smashed it!! We then fed it to her. They are such good helpers.

I love this picture!!

Look Uncle Garth, Uncle Jonathan, and Uncle Sean, I can play wii too! They are starting me young. (It's not an actual wii mote. It's a candy dispencer we've found useful to have around).
And on January 1st Kaylyn started crawling (or inchworming). She did it just after Todd left for work while at Grandma's house. This is taken a few days later at my house. She sticks her bottom higher in the air on the carpet because she can't just pull herself forward on the carpet. But here is a video of it all the same. I noticed she was crawling so I grabbed the camera. It only took 8 takes to get one I liked. Here it is: Kaylyn crawling take 8.
So Kaylyn is 7 months old! She still weighs 13 lbs. And she is still in size one diapers. She is out of newborn clothes and into 3-6 month clothes. She is little. But she is a smart cookie! She has started eating everything she can--and if you eat it she thinks she should too. The other day, I put her in her seat next to the oreos. She didn't seem interested in her smashed peas so I was working in the kitchen. She proceeded to pick up the oreos, pour them all out, and get one. I let her eat it after all that work.


After that, I started giving her a pickle. She likes pickles. She doesn't actually eat it, but it makes a great teething ring. And it keeps her from yelling at me between bites.
