Our Little Ones: 29 Weeks Old

This week, Kami kept working on crawling. She's pretty much perfected the "scootch," but hasn't quite gotten the arm/knee coordination that it takes to crawl. She's happier now that she's mobile-she doesn't get as frustrated when Judah leaves or there's something that she wants that's out of reach-she can follow or get it! How exciting! It's so much fun to chase after her when she gets somewhere she's not supposed to be or goes after something she can't have and lots of fun to pick her up after she rolls off the bed (it's only happened twice-no need to call social services) :)!

The Dokken grandparents were in town mid-week, which was a lot of fun for all of us. It was close to 100 degrees every day they were here, which wasn't so fun, but we got to go see the capitol building, we drove by the Denver Mint, went out to Golden, CO and got a tour of the Coors Brewery (it was much more interesting than I thought it would be!), and got some good quality hang-out time with my parents. It was nice seeing them and we're looking forward to seeing more people next month (especially Kami's Uncle Nick and Aunt Patso)!

Kami and Judah both had a little bug this week, so one day Judah wasn't feeling great, and the next day, Kami was sick, so that's been a lot of fun for the adults. Kami's teeth are getting close to cutting through (how many times have I said that now?) and we think those have been bothering her too. She's still growing like a weed (too fast! Stop!) and smiles at everything! Everyone should have a baby! It's so much fun! :)

Here we are with the grandparents in the dome of the capitol building. It was hot and there were a lot of stairs to get up to the top, but it was a great view!

Here's the outside of the capitol building. A stranger was nice enough to get a picture of all of us so my dad didn't have to use the self-timer mode. It looks like my dad is just some guy that happened to be in the frame, but he's not!

This is at the Coors Brewery after the tour. It was about 40 minutes long, so before lunch, we had a seat and rested for a bit.

Kami discovered her new favorite food: pretzels! They're perfect for her because they just kind of dissolve in her mouth and she can hold on really well to the big ones! She gummed two until they were so slimy, she couldn't hold onto them anymore and dropped them.

Dad got to wear Kami during the tour, but he's got a sunburn, so mom ended up with her later.

All of the above pictures were taken with my parents' camera and for some reason, they turned out smaller on my laptop, thus the difference on the blog. Weird.

Kami likes to crawl places she's not supposed to go, so she started crawling towards the table that holds the television and has a lot of cords underneath. Not exactly baby-friendly.

She had to make it through the maze of curtains first...

but it got confusing when the curtains got in her face. How rude!

Then she realized that she couldn't figure out how to get out and was stuck...

and got pretty upset and called for back-up!

She likes to play with dad!

And his nose!

And a fishook to spare!

Kami and Judah like to play on Judah's laptop together.

She likes to lounge on the couch with a juicy read like her grandparents.

And just like her Grandpa Dokken, she usually ends up falling asleep in the middle of the book.

Uncle Nick and Aunt Patso got Kami a moose and bear from Alaska on their honeymoon. The first thing she did with them when her grandparents brought them from Boise was shove them in her mouth. That means she likes them! She really likes them!
