...my baby will be ten months old! It's going too fast! She now has six teeth--the better to bite me with, she is crawling EVERYWHERE and getting into EVERYTHING, "talking" non stop, walking with some assistance, and sleeping 12 hours at night. Yes, 12 blissful hours! Although I do kind of miss not seeing her for twelve hours straight, I am not complaining! I am one happy, rested mama! She recently has started dancing while standing up which is hilarious, yesterday she did the actions to the song "Popcorn Popping" with me, and she has started making what we refer to as the 'monkey face.' If you have seen Zoolander, just think Blue Steel--that's the monkey face and it is also hilarious. Now we are just attempting to get all of her adorableness on camera. She has a fascination with electronics (does a camera fit into the "electronics" genre?) so any time we get out the camera, the only thing she is interested in is getting it in her mouth as fast as possible. We have to be very sneaky. Wish us luck! Here are some pictures from our zoo adventure this week. She didn't quite get the "look, there are animals in the cages!" concept. But there were lots of other interesting things to look at such as shiny objects and crazy loud kids running around.
She was way more interested in the fence posts than the huge giraffe. Hmmm...
Jared loves hiking. I actually like it too but I'm just too lazy to plan it and go. So he planned it and we went. Neither of us had ever done Timp caves before but we realized that it's quite steep and that having a pack for Kellyn would have made it a lot easier. Carrying a 20 pound squirming baby is a bit of a challenge while hiking. She had fun though. Before we went we left her in the living room with all the stuff and she discovered the Camelbak. She was so proud of herself for figuring out how it worked. By the time we found her she had emptied half of it on herself and the carpet. So funny! The caves were tricky cause they say "don't touch ANYTHING" and then they make you squeeze through tiny spaces. Yeah right getting Kellyn not to touch anything! Sorry Timpanogos caves for desecrating you with our greasy little fingers. I guess being carried on a steep hike can really wear you out cause she was a goner on the way down. The next day we took her to Cascade Springs which were beautiful. Hopefully we get to go hike again this summer--with a pack...
