This past weekend we went to South Carolina for Ashlee & Gabe's wedding. It was Kaylen's first plane ride, and she did so good! Everyone kept coming up to us telling us what a good baby she was. On the way to South Carolina, she nursed at take off, slept for a few minutes, and then was a wake the rest of the time. On the way back, she just slept on Patrick's legs the whole time. We didn't have any problems at all, so we were really thankful for that!
The wedding went really well. We were glad to see everyone, and had a lot of fun. Ashlee looked beautiful! We were especially thankful that my mom was able to go with us to keep an eye on Kaylen so we could go to the Rehearsal and out afterwards, and be able to stay at the Reception the whole time. I'm sure Kaylen enjoyed her Nana time!
Lately, Kaylen has become increasingly more vocal. She is making a lot of cooing and "ahhing" noises. It is pretty much the cutest thing I've ever heard. She will also burst out with a random laugh and this morning made an interesting screeching noise that I hadn't heard before. She is such a happy baby, and seeing her laugh and smile just melts my heart!
We went to Target yesterday and I bought Kaylen some new toys (since we were getting bored with the few ones we have). She got a Baby Einstein turtle that plays different musical instruments, and a rattle that when you shake it it plays music and lights up. She is a big fan of both. I took some pictures of her playing with them. When we shake the rattle and it lights up, she is totally mesmerized by the lights. She will even hold it for a few seconds on her own! But the turtle was the biggest hit! She really likes the drums and the tuba sounds, and when they start playing she kicks her legs and starts moving her arms. It's as if she's dancing! So cute! I managed to get a few pictures of her "dancing"!
It's hard to believe she is 9 weeks as of yesterday. She is growing like a weed, and has so much personality! It's so exciting to sit back and watch her new developments and her change each day.

Wondering why mom has to take so many pictures!
This is an action shot... she is throwing the rattle.
Dancing to her musical turtle! She was having SO much fun!
More dancing! It kind of looks like she's snapping! :)
Oh GOSH I MISS HER! She is changing so much, and it sounds like she's "talking" more and laughing more and, Oh, I miss her. I can hardly wait to see her again. Thanks for doing this blog. It sure helps the "far away grammy" (and "nana" too, I'm sure). Kaylen is so adorable.
