Standing Tall

Well, we got home from KY this afternoon and while I was outside cutting the grass Kaleigh pulled herself up to a full standing position on some of her toys. Then after dinner she did the same thing againg while next to me on the couch. We took her upstairs...what do you know. A picture really is worth a thousand words....

Weekend in KY

This weekend was Kaleigh's first weekend trip to visit family. We went to see Grandma(Granny) and Grandpa(Papa) Miller. Kaleigh enjoyed herself and loved being outside the entire time, she also had her first Popsicle and she loved it. The creek in front of the house captivated Kaleigh. Especially the little water fall....Of course spending time with the family was the best part.

Climbing the Steps!!!

Well, I didn't believe it until I saw it. Last night while I was closing at work I got an IM on the Blackberry from Sandy. "Little bit just climbed the steps..UH-O!". I called Sandy and apparently Kaleigh was able to climb the steps(2 steps) out of the bonus room and make it into the upstairs hallway. After struggling on Monday, Tuesday was the magic day. After weeks of every effort in her body to climb out of the bonus room, she made it! I guess this means the baby gates go up. Tonight after dinner, I couldn't wait to get Kaleigh upstairs and see for myself. Sure enough, she climbed out of the room faster then I could have imagined. I had to get the camcorder out to film this milestone. I put her back done into the bonus room and filmed the fastest baby in the southeast...Wow! She was up and out before I knew. I was so proud of her. Kaleigh is making developmental leaps everyday. It amazes me quickly she progressing with her motor skills. It is truly something to be in awe about. I think back to China almost 8 weeks ago, and how Kaleigh could barely even sit up or hold her head up. Now she is climbing steps, pulling herself up on anything she can grab, and crawls on her knees blazing trails through the house. I love this stuff!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to everyone. We really enjoyed celebrating Kaleigh's first Easter. She had a pretty dress for church and a cute one to hunt eggs in later. It was her first trip to church and she did really well. The service was a little longer than usual and she did get restless by the end since it was getting past her nap time and close to her lunch time. She did not really get into the egg hunting thing but she did enjoy the time outside watching the dogs chase bubbles and trying to catch them herself a couple of times.

Okay just to let everyone know we are ok. The tornadoes hit very close to us but other than losing power for 24 hours we did not have any issues. We did have to replace most of the contents of our fridg but we paid for that with the money that we made at our yard sale this weekend. The other bad news of the weekend is that my dad is in the hospital so anyone who is saying a prayer say one for him as well. He still hasn't met his new granddaughter so he needs to start feeling better soon.

Anyway look for pictures later!!!!
