Andrew's First Father's Day

Andrew was excited for his first Father's Day. We had cinnamon rolls for breakfast- Kelsey thought they were quite tasty as well. Then he wanted to open his presents.

It's a shirt - "This is what the world's greatest Daddy looks like"

Andrew's gift from Amy- a paddle to play pickle ball with. A game we play in Florida with Amy's dad- Andrew has been having to use a heavy wooden paddle- Amy thought he would enjoy this more. Andrew's comment- "Wow- this is light!" Amy's response- "It is like the paddles dad and I use" Andrew is very excited to get back to Florida and try it out.

Ariel liked the ribbon from the package- Kelsey liked how close Ariel was to her.

Kelsey's First Time at the Pool

We took Kelsey to the pool today. It took her a couple minutes to get used to the cool water (it also took mommy a couple minutes), but then after that she seemed to really enjoy it. She was watching all the other kids in the water.

All dressed and ready to go

Ready to walk to the pool

First time in the pool

Swimming with Daddy

Pool time done- getting ready to go home

Video of Kelsey's first time in the pool:

Kelsey with her push walker

Kelsey has been trying to walk. She is cruising around everything- the coffee table, the couch, the bed, etc. We showed her how to walk behind this toy once and she took off. She loves it. She gets so tickled with herself when she is walking behind it as you can see in this video.

Kelsey can crawl up the stairs

Kelsey discovered the stairs this past week. The first time she went to them- she crawled all the way to the top by herself (of course we did not have time to get the camera- we were making sure she did not fall).

This is the second time she did it- Daddy was her spotter and mommy and Grandma Napier took pictures.

She moved quickly - caught daddy off guard.

She's moving quick

About halfway there.

Almost to the top

Look at me - I'm such a big girl

Kelsey is 10 Months Old

It is so hard to believe Kelsey is 10 months old. She is growing up so fast! She is such a little charmer as you can see from the photos. You bring out the camera and she brings out the smiles. She is crawling everywhere and trying to get into everything. We are loving every minute of it!

She loves to clap her hands

When she sees the camera she "smiles" for it.

Poor Jewel- she isn't safe anywhere- even though in this picture Kelsey is trying to give her a mouse
