31 Weeks Old

Kami is really getting better at her "fine motor skills." She can feed herself the puffs that we've been giving her for a few weeks, but she likes to grab two or three at a time in each fist and shove both fists into her mouth at the same time. Awesome! She's also pulling up on things and standing up a lot better. Also, She's figuring out how to get back on the ground from standing up so she doesn't just dive backwards and land on her head. How many times can she hit her head on the floor before her IQ lowers a questionable amount? I hope we haven't reached that mark yet...

This weekend, we had some friends over. Rob and Michelle (who Cody and Jeannie met through church) live in Denver and have been here for a while and have a daughter, Abby, who is about a month and a half older than Kami. She's also got six teeth and is saying "Daddy" at nine months. That's ridiculous! Kami poops her pants and blows snot bubbles. Is that what they mean by "gifted and talented?" It was fun to have all three girls in the house and playing together! Kami loves her friends! We also got to go to the zoo with Cody and Jeannie. Jeannie's employer reserved the whole zoo for its employees, so we all got in for free, got some free dinner and popcorn, and got to see the few animals that weren't asleep or hiding from the rain. Both times I've been to the zoo (once pregnant, once with the family), it's rained and I've only gotten to see a few animals. I'm hoping that one of these days, I'll see all the animals that the Denver Zoo has to offer!

A few other things that Kami has shown us: she now likes to roll around while we try to changer her diaper and escape the changing hands; she has quite the temper and REALLY hates to get her nose sucked out, even though she still needs it (she's had a bit of a cold for the past two weeks, so she's got snot free-flowing from her nose constantly); and last but not least, she's a bit of an exhibitionist.

Kami gets really excited when she sees her "Peek-a-Boo" book with the mirror in it.

She really likes to look at herself. You're so vain, you probably think this blog is about you, don't you?

We've moved on to second foods for her solids, so dad tried out apples and blueberries one morning.

We're not quite sure on how she liked them and seemed to be fussy after she got done eating. I guess we'll try again later and see...

Here's Abby, Kami, Abby's mom Michelle, and Judah chillin' at the ExerSaucer.

It looks like they're up to something and they just got caught.

This is where she shoves her Puffs into her mouth.

Look Ma, all gone!

Garrett put Kami on his shoulders at the zoo and put his hood over both of them to shield them from the rain. Kami seemed to like it.

Awww...

She also likes to slap things, like dad's head.

Ha ha! Couldn't pass this one up! I think she's cuter than the chipmunk though. Like I said, not too many animals, but we got a few good shots.

I got some address labels in the mail and when I got home from work, I noticed that one was missing. Soon after, I realized Kami had something on her forehead. Dad's so funny...sometimes it seems like I've got two kids! I guess this way, if she gets lost, someone will know where to return her. I'm just not sure if she'd fit in our mailbox...

She really likes to pull up on the baby gate and stand up.

"Please sir, can I have some more?" Look at those puppy dog eyes.


Here's her dance montage:

She starts out with the snapping of the fingers...

and then moves into the air guitar...

and the end move!

This was Kami after a fit-she gets a little blotchy-kind of like dad.

At the Baby Petting Zoo, you can even feed the babies!

Look how much fun the adults have!

And one more montage:

Here's Kami escaping the dreaded diaper change...

she's got her eyes on the prize...

almost there...

and she's up! What a weirdo. These pictures will prove to be quite valuable later on in life...
