Saturday Fun

The weather in Nashville was absolutely gorgeous this past weekend! After a brutally hot summer, it was so refreshing to be outside in cooler temps. We took advantage of the nice weather and went downtown to Centennial Park, where Jeff took these pics of the Parthenon.

A Whole New World

Kaitlyn entered the world of solid food today with her first bowl of rice cereal. Jeff was standing nearby with both the video camera and the digital camera to capture the momentous occasion (we're obviously first-time parents!). We put Kaitlyn in her brand-new high chair and got out the personalized bib. She was quite perplexed at first and wasn't sure what to do with the foreign substance. She mostly pushed it around with her tongue. While most of the cereal ended up on her face and hands, some actually went inside her mouth and was swallowed. Not too bad for the first time.

4 Month Checkup

We had Kaitlyn's 4 month appointment this morning. She weighed in at 17 pounds, 2 ounces! She's 26 inches long and is well on her way to being tall like her mom and dad. According to the doctor, she's the size of an average 7 month old! I knew my arms had been getting more of a workout lately.

Here's another picture from our weekend in Memphis. It's the official family portrait, courtesy of Jess.

Noah and Kaitlyn

We went to Memphis for the Labor Day weekend to visit Jess, Adam and Noah. The cousins are just too cute together! Kaitlyn and Noah were much more aware of each other this time and had great fun checking the other one out. This is a picture that Jess took for Mimi and Papa Greg.


In the past few days, Kaitlyn has learned to roll over from tummy to back. She is so proud of herself when she rolls over, and she grins from ear to ear. Today, she suddenly started having "conversations" with us. We say something to her and she actually babbles back. This goes on for several minutes. We have no idea what she's trying to say, but she clearly enjoys "talking" to us. At this stage in her life, it's something new every day!
