Busy Family Weekend

Kaitlynn and I had a wonderful weekend full of family from Iowa. My Aunt Diane, Uncle Mark and my parents came to visit Ryan and Sarah and also to come see our house. On Saturday they all came over to our house for a while and then we drove over to Lee's Summit to look at some model homes. Mark and Diane are building a house and so it was a lot of fun to go get some new ideas for them! Matt was working so we met up with him for a little bit. Kaitlynn had never seen her daddy in his uniform so we took some cute pictures! After we stopped at Bass Pro Shop we all drove up to St. Joe to Ryan and Sarah's house to stay the night.

I must say that Matt and I have really lucked out with our little girls personality. She is just so laid back and content! We took her ALL over the place and in and out of the car all weekend and she never even fussed once. She only started crying one time when she was getting hungry. We feel very fortunate and I have a feeling that our next child just might be the opposite!!

She sure does love her Daddy

When we finally got back to Ryan and Sarah's house we knew Kaitlynn was tired of being cooped up in her car seat and being held all day long so we undressed her and let her scoot around for a while. She was thrilled as you can tell from the video! I thought we would have at least another month or two before we needed to put up baby gates but we actually need to be doing it SOON!Who is that cute girl??
A couple of notes on the video: You can tell that Aunt Sarah LOVES her thighs! Also the diaper she is chewing on is CLEAN!


For some reason she likes to carry around this bird with her mouth! She puts the little foot in her mouth and then scoots around. Maybe she's been watching Tucker a little too much??
