Note from the Editor...

Ok, so the "New Carpet" post was supposed to be posted between the "8 months & New Baby Gear" post and the "On the Move" post. I thought it didn't matter what order you WROTE the post...I thought that it just mattered when you PUBLISHED the post. Obviously everything posts according to when you wrote it.

I think I got it now...I just need to stay on top of my blog so I don't fall behind and end up writing four posts all at once :)

New Carpet!

Since Kayli will be crawling soon, we have decided to replace all the carpet in our town home because it is old and yucky!

My dad came up this week to help us do it ourselves!

Here's Grandpa and Kayli at Home Depot while we're buying the carpet


Here's Dad and Kevin ripping out the old stuff


Here's me trying to be tough


and Here's the living room all done!


The whole house looks GREAT, thanks dad for helping us and for all your hard work, we LOVE you!!!

Family Reunion

Over the 4th of July weekend, we had a Brown family reunion.


On the first day we got to go to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House. This was Kayli's second time in the temple in 8 months!


Then we got to play in the pool...Kayli's first time in a pool!


Then we ate supper and had a piñata for the kids...Kayli's first piñata!!!


The next day we went to the "This is the Place Monument", had a family BBQ, and a talent show.


The reunion was a blast and it was great seeing everyone! Thanks to all those who planned everything and worked hard to make it a success!!

On the Move!

Within the last week...Kayli can hold herself up on her hands and knees for a few minutes....and she just started scooting around on her tummy!!!!

Kayli has also just started babbling /ma ma ma ma ma/! Whoo!

She has already been babbling /pa pa pa/.

We have also been using the signs for "mom" and "dad" for the past month and a half, as well as the signs for "milk" and "more."

8 months & New Baby Gear!

This is Kayli's 4th of July dress that her Grandma Martha made for her!

So, Kayli just turned 8 months old! There have been A LOT of changes this past month:

Kayli decided she didn't like "taquito" (be swaddled) to go to bed anymore, which cause some grief with the bedtime routine.

Kayli got two teeth! (The bottom two in front)

Kayli can sit by herself for long periods of time without tipping over!

We had to buy a new carseat for our growing baby:


We bought a walker! (She's not quit ready to walk in it, but she likes to bounce a lot)

AND....

Kayli started making the /g/ sound and started varying her syllables eg: /ga gi/ & /da di/

YEAH!
