25 Weeks Old

This week, we have a wedding to go to, and it's Uncle Nick's wedding! Kami loves her Uncle Nick-he plays with her hair and likes to poke her. Kami and I got to Boise Sunday evening (my dad picked me up at the airport and as soon as we walked through the gates, my dad took off with Kami and I haven't seen her much lately) and Garrett got here Thursday evening after his plane was delayed three hours. I'm glad he was by himself and not with the baby.

Kami and grandma are taking their routine morning garden tours and grandpa likes to carry her around and show Kami Fuzzle's props and grandma's wigs, which she thinks are hilarious! She's also gotten to see her other set of grandparents, some great aunts and uncles, and some of mom's friends. We have a bridesmaid luncheon on Thursday, a rehearsal and dinner on Friday, and the big event Saturday evening! We all go back to Denver on Sunday, so I have a feeling the week will go by too quickly.

We left a travel bed at my parents' house, but in the three weeks that we've been gone, she's outgrown it, so she got to sleep on the floor on a few quilts with some pillows around her so she wouldn't run into the closet, although one morning, she was kicking the closet doors, which was not easy to sleep through.

Kami's starting to have more fun in the bath, and she took hers in the sink at her grandparents' house. She played with a rubber ducky because rubber duckies make bath time lots of fun!

We didn't want her to faceplant it on the sink. That might hurt a bit...

She was lounging in the tub and I wanted to get a picture, so Garrett inserted a rubber ducky censor.

She's got some funky hair after the bath. That's okay, because so does her mom.

Traci Denton hung out with Kami at the rehearsal dinner, and I guess Kami needed some sunglasses to protect her from the sun. Traci was having fun at least.

Kami was in full attack mode because of her teething, so she's attacking cousin Ashton's shirt.

Don't you see the family resemblance?

Here's the proud father of the groom/grandpa with Kami in her wedding garb. She accessorized even-she had her headband on and some sandals with some bling on them.

The Price family photo at the wedding. We tried a few pics, but Kami wouldn't look at the camera. You win some, you lose some.

She finally looked at the camera, so I guess she was finally ready for her close-up. Check out those baby blues.

Here's my dad's car after the wedding. This was also Nick and Patricia's getaway car and somehow, the groomsmen found out which one they were driving, so my dad was in his driveway at midnight hosing the car off.

And now for a funky hair montage. This was when we got back from Denver and after she woke up from a nap that she took on her back.

She kind of looks like a Who down in Who-ville!

24 Weeks Old

This week, Garrett's been busy getting ready for school-he's registered and finished his financial aid stuff, and we even bought some school supplies! I've completed two weeks of work and will be showing up for more-the bigger branch can't scare me off! Kami has now moved to fruits-she likes bananas (including the rice cereal with banana in it), pears, and applesauce, but it was a no-go with peaches and I'm not sure I want her trying prunes (if you'd like to change all of her diapers after prunes, you go right ahead-I know what prunes do to adults and I can only imagine what they do to little ones). We went to a park in downtown park this weekend to join the Hufstedlers and their friends for a jazz concert. There were four couples there and four baby girls-5 1/2 months, 7 months, 9 months, and 10 months-and they all seemed to enjoy themselves. Kami is showing interest in crawling, bun she's still not mobile. She's still having a lot of fun with Judah and teething, and all-in-all, the Prices are doing well!

Kami got a little upset waiting for her food.

She did calm down to try some pears. I think she likes them...

Kami and dad were playing and she thought it was really funny when he put the tag rag on her head.

Yup. Really funny.

It's a little hard trying to feed her some applesauce when she's checking out the ceiling fan.

She did seem to like them, but still unimpressed.

This is her "my first time trying this food" face, so we're never sure if she likes what we're feeding her. We figure if she keeps opening her mouth, she likes it, right?

Kami and Judah both ended up with the same outfit, so we decided to take some pictures. They were both very happy about being twinners!

Cody was entertaining them while I took their pictures. To the left, to the left...

One of the few pictures of both of them looking at me. They're pretty cute, huh?

Kami likes to lounge on the couch like Grandpa Dokken. She sure loves her Grandpa!

We're not quite sure how she feels about peaches. We tried two nights in a row, but we might have to wait a bit on those.

Kami did seem to like bananas, even though they smell totally gross! Ugh!

It still seems like she wears more of her food than she gets in her stomach.

We also got Kami a new high chair that we just put on top of one of our dining room chairs. She wasn't as excited as mom was about this.

Two cute girls in their high chairs! They sometimes eat at the same time, which is a little frustrating because they like to distract each other and not eat. At least they have fun with each other!

Kami's getting better at tummy time and playing on the floor on her stomach. She's working on crawling, but can't quite get the coordination and timing down.

She amuses herself quite frequently and squeals and laughs at whatever she thinks is funny, and sometimes, we can't figure out what it is.

Here we are at the park. It was a nice day until the wind decided to throw dirt around. Not so much fun getting dirt everywhere. Kami had some carrots and whenever she has orange stuff (carrots, sweet potatoes, squash) on her face, it makes her blue eyes really stand out. Still blue!

She was really having fun with her dad!

Since she's teething again, she'll chew on anything, and since she's almost always wearing a bib, that's usually what she ends up eating. They must taste delicious!

Sometimes the girls play with each others' toys, and Kami really likes Judah's exersaucer. I'm glad it keeps her entertained so I can read my People magazine and see who's dating who! I like to keep up on my reading...

23 Weeks Old

The Prices made it to Denver in just over 12 hours and we're close to being all moved in. I've still got some boxes and bags of stuff that are shoved in my closet, but I figure I'll get to them sometime. Kami and Judah have been very good at sharing a room and toys, but I think Kami is jealous of Judah since Judah is mobile and Kami's not. Judah will start crawling away and Kami makes a pathetic little whimper because she's left behind. She's pretty close to crawling, though, so hopefully soon, she'll be able to follow Judah around. She's got the arm motions and legs down, but she can't put the two of them together at the same time.

Kami got to try both green beans and carrots for the first time this past week, and she seemed to really like both. She's still pretty messy with her foods, but it's a lot of fun for all of us! While Garrett and I were busy moving our stuff, Kami entertained herself with some toys.

Garrett has gotten to spend a lot of time with Kami as a stay-at-home dad and I'm starting to get acclimated to Denver and my new job, so things all around are going well for us. We'll be here for one week and then traveling to Boise for my brother's wedding, so stay tuned for lots of pictures.

By the way, I can't help but notice that no one is commenting on this blog. We want to hear from everyone-how things are going, how cute you think our daughter is, etc.-so comment all you want!

We put Kami in a tub with some toys in it, and she seemed to have fun.

I love cheap entertainment!

Here's Kami hanging out on mom and dad's bed with a new panda.

She still has a bit of a problem with sitting up for long periods of time, so this is how she usually ends up.

Kami really liked her green beans!

I promise she did!

We're borrowing Judah's high chair for right now, and Kami loves sitting in it like a big girl!

Carrots started out with a bit of indifference...

and they look really funny all over her face! Her eyes really stand out. She seems to really like them now and eats a whole container of them at one time!

We're getting ready to leave for Denver this Saturday, and consequently, I've lost my camera so all of my pictures of Kami trying squash for the first time are on my dad's camera in Boise. As soon as I get those pictures e-mailed to me, I'll post them right away.

As far as squash goes, Kami loved it! Mom doesn't like it so much, but that's okay. As my mom would say, she's an "Eat-Well Kid!" It was a thing that my mom preached to us when she was an elementary school teacher that was about kids with good eating habits. While Garrett and I were in Denver moving most of our stuff in to our new place, Kami wore a crocheted dress made from her great-grandma Theta. It was a nice green and black one and everyone at the Boise church loved it, especially Theta. She smiled nice for my dad! She's a pretty cute baby with such a fun personality!

21 Weeks Old

Garrett and I drove to Denver-we took a U-Haul down with all of our stuff while Kami stayed with my parents. Before we left, Kami tried peas for the first time this week, and like her parents, she didn't like them. She made some pretty funny, horrible faces that we got a ton of pictures of. She also rolled over in front of us for the first time, but she rolled over onto her toy mat with a huge plastic part on it, and of course, she landed right on it and got really mad while I ran and grabbed my camera. We also got to spend some time with the Weares before we left the Potato State and everyone enjoyed themselves. We'll be driving on Saturday, so wish us good luck with a five-month old baby and a dog in the car for twelve hours!

There was really nothing going on here, but she just looked so darn cute!

She knows what her bottle is now, so any time it comes close to her mouth, she's got to open it up! She knows what she's got coming to her!

Here's Kami and Hailey Weare kickin' it.

This is when Kami rolled over onto the plastic part and got really, really mad.

We got her a new bottle with handles on it, and Kami's maneuvering pretty well with it.

Again, so darn cute!

Here's the horrible pea-face montage!

I don't need to say anything, right? The pictures say it all.

Our 20-somethings group had a BBQ at the VanBewley's new humble abode. The Hawkins love Kami!

Kami had fun with Tara in the sun.

Kami was hanging out with Carrie and was having fun!
