30 Weeks Old

Kami is becoming more and more adventurous each day. She is now pulling up on whatever she can get a hold of and stands there for a few moments quite proud of herself. She's also picking up new tricks, like the one that Grandma taught her last week while she was here in Denver: the fake cough. Any time she wants attention from someone, she coughs in their general direction until they look at her. She then returns the attention with a smile and look of satisfaction. What a dork.

She also still loves pretzels that she acquired a taste for at the Coors Brewery. We finally found a bag of similar pretzels. They're not as thick as the brewery ones, but she seems to still like them. We scratch off all the salt first so she's not the only 7-month old with high levels of sodium and hand them over. She gums them until they're too slimy to hold onto, and then she drops them to the ground. If that doesn't happen, Kami just slaps her highchair tray with her pretzel-hand until the pretzel breaks up into numerous pieces.

Garrett just got done with another class at Iliff that he really enjoyed and work's going well for me. We're all looking forward to being back in Boise in two more weeks, so hopefully we'll see some of you that visit the blog!

By the way, where are all the comments? I would threaten to stop posting, but the grandparents might not be okay with that...

Garrett has an extra XBox controller, so he lets Kami play with it.

She's quite intrigued by it. She looks for it every time she's downstairs on the floor.

Kami was crawling on the ottoman and making her way towards the end, so Garrett grabbed her just before she toppled off.

She started having fun with it and reaching for her toys.

Here's Kami after she's pulled up on the sofa. We can't leave anything on the sofa with Judah around because Judah can stand up and reach anything on the couch, but now, Kami can too, so watch out!

Like I said, she can climb up on anything, even a baby gate. Here's the rear view...

and here's the front view. She got a little upset because she got stuck and couldn't stand up all the way and I wasn't helping her. Sorry!

Kami loves her some pretzels!

She's contemplating her next move...

which is to shove it in her mouth.

She's now succeeded in breaking it into a few pieces...

but it's not as good anymore, so she's done with it!

What a mess maker!

Yeah, we caught you! She's showing you her frog.

Kami's got her eyes on the prize!

And she's got it!

Her hair's a little out of control. I'm trying to train it into a side part, but her cowlick is proving to be a formidable foe, so for now, she's got the comb-forward and sweep-sideways look going on. Obviously, the sideways sweep wasn't happening in this shot. Her hair is really growing in though! I'm glad she's not bald!
