Ten Months Old

Right before she tried to take a big bite:)

Look at me clap!

Are we done yet?

Sorry this post is a little delayed, but Kailer was a bit under the weather last week. I took her to the doctor with a spiked temp to find out that she had an ear infection and strep throat! The following five days were miserable on us all, but she is back to her old self again. I decided to take advantage of Grandpa's beautiful landscaping to take her ten months pictures. I had to take them quick because sitting still is a thing of the past. She is always on the move pulling herself up and cruising around the furniture. She is loving it here in Michigan! She is constantly surrounded by family, which means mom and dad get some free time. I have managed to get a girl's night out and Marc has been able to go fishing a few times:) Not too long and we will be celebrating a first birthday...yikes!

Froggy Pool

Last week Kailer got to enjoy her froggy pool for the first time. She loved it and in fact was a little too brave! She certainly looked cute in her bikini! I can't wait to get her back in next week when she is feeling better.

Camping at Silver Lake Sand Dunes

Kailer playing in the sand.

She didn't like it when Marc stuck her feet in the lake.

Kailer's first time in a pool.

Marc ready to hit the dunes on the four-wheeler.

She looked like such a big girl sitting in the chair.

We hadn't been back one week and we took Kailer from one extreme to the next. From New York City to the great outdoors! We had such a good time camping with my family at Silver Lake. It was something my family and I always did growing up and it was great to be able to include Kailer this year. She did very well and was a trooper through the cold nights, layers of sunscreen, and mosquito bites!

Coney Island

The day before we left New York City, I convinced Marc that it would be a good idea to go down to Coney Island. He wasn't too keen on the idea, but it was my last day there so he suffered through it. After and hour ride down, we only ended up sitting on the beach for about a half an hour because Kailer was really cranky (it was nap time - poor planning on my part). We walked up and down the boardwalk and headed back home to Astoria to finish our last minute packing! We managed to get a few pictures...but all she wanted to do was eat her sunglasses and her smiles were scarce:(
