New Binky & Green Beans

Daddy found a new binky. She did not like it at first, but now she does. We also started making our own baby food. She seems to like carrots, green beans, bananas, avocado, pears & apples. The only thing she did not like was the sweet potato baby food.

Got some new shoes..

Daddy found these cool shoes at Babiesrus today.. She kept trying to grab them off!

Splash!

Here are some pictures from our swimming lesson today. We are building up to dipping their faces in the water, today we used sponges to get their faces wet. It was pretty funny! Kayden doesn't seem to mind too much.

Swimming with Dad

Here are some pictures of Kayden and Dad from our swimming lesson last Sunday. We're all really enjoying it!

After her bath this week.. not crying for once! She doesn't like getting out of the bath too much usually!

Movie Playdate

Today we went to a movie and lunch at Bell Square with Jessica and her son Tyler. Jessica and I took prenatal water aerobics together all through our pregnancies, and I was happy to reconnect with her on facebook this week. The kiddos did pretty good during the movie, we watched the Lovely Bones which I really enjoyed. Then it was off to the Cheesecake factory for lunch, we tried booster chairs for the babies and they both ate some applesauce and then fell asleep which worked out well. We're also joining a playgroup that Jessica and Tyler are in, with a few other moms and babies from our water aerobics class. They meet up once a week at a different person's house. We are really looking forward to it!

Knocked out after the ride home!

A trip to the Aquarium

We wanted to get out and do something yesterday, but it was so rainy, so we decided to check out the Seattle Aquarium. They remodeled it recently and it is pretty cool! Just a suggestion though, try not to go on a rainy Saturday afternoon, it was packed! But we made our way through the crowd and checked out all the cool fish and creatures. Kayden would stare at the fish and watch them swim around.. it was fun to watch her.

Looking out for Nemo.. we found him eventually!

This view was looking up

Good scarf nom nom nom!

Check out her new shirt!

Our First Swimming Lesson

I can't sleep tonight so figured I might as well blog. We had our first swimming lesson last Sunday. It was alot of fun! Kayden loves her baths, and she seemed to enjoy being in the pool too. Since it is a weekend class there were lots of dads in the water. I felt outnumbered, there was only one other mom in the water. I think we'll switch off going in the water with her. It is a 12 week session, so lots more to look forward to!

Here are some pictures from Kayden's 5 month photoshoot. She can just about sit up on her own, so close.. Jeff put the rest on his website: http://www.jeffstewartphotography.com/Kayden

Eating

We've started giving Kayden some solid foods. So far she has tried rice and oatmeal cereal, mashed banana, and apple baby food. She likes the apples best of those things. We still have to try peas, sweet potatoes and pears.. She also has been practicing holding a sippy cup. She has the right idea, holding the handles and sucking on it.

Bananas- yummy

Checking out her baby crocs

Daddy gave me a french fry!
Getting ready to go to the Noon Year's Eve party with our mom's group. The shoes don't stay on too well!

Zoolights

Here are some pictures from when we went to Zoolights at the Point Defiance Zoo a few days after Christmas. Kayden is liking being able to look around in the new stroller. More pics here.
