Baby Girl turned 9 months in July! Such a happy little face! At 9 months Carys was steadily pulling herself up to standing. Gone are the days of greeting a sitting or laying baby in her crib after her nap. Now I see this standing, smiling face instead. Carys will also stand at the screen door, looking longingly outside as her brothers and sister ride their bikes, swing and play....just dying to go out there with them. She wants soooo bad to keep up with the big kids. She will just squeal at them with delight every time they come past. So cute!
Carys had 0 teeth at 9 months old. Not even swollen gums or anything. She loves toys that make noise and have buttons to push. She is learning how to open the cabinets in the kitchen and loves to pull all the snack of the bottom shelf of the pantry cupboard. Her Favorite thing to eat is yogurt. She is still a picky eater, but getting better. At 9 months she was down to 2 solid naps a day and was still nursing very well. She is just a happy, sweet little bundle of joy!
It's a good thing I have never been too freaked out by rodents!
A little bit of baby Monroe action going on here....ha ha!
Grammy joined us on a nice, warm summer evening for a trip to the wild animal park. It was such a nice evening. Perfect weather, small crowds and lots of fun!
Even the boys were in a super sweet, loving mood that day!
We had to make a quick stop to lay a few eggs along the way.
Carys just loves her Grammy. I love the way that she reaches for Grammy and wants her to hold her every time she sees her. And Grammy has the masters touch at getting this little girl to relax, cuddle up any go to sleep on her shoulder. It is so cute!
We let the kids get soaked....so soaked they had to strip down to their undies before getting in the car. But that is what being kids is all about, right?
Grammy and Pa surprised the kids by buying the awesome seesaw to put in their backyard. We surprised the kids with it on a sunday afternoon after church. The kids thought it was awesome trying it out Inside the house. It is definitely a good thing that this is just at Grammy's house and not in our own backyard. If the kids had too much time with this in their own backyard it would only be a few days before they would get comfortable enough to try things like catapulting each other across the yard or something along those lines. McKamey kids don't seem to do anything the "normal" way. They always like to take it to the next level...
Con Con did Such a good job in his swimming class this year. It is a little nerve racking sending your child into a class on their own (without parental hands on guidance) for the first time. Especially a water class. Luckily he was going in with Makenna and Kellen. Though he was pretty sad the first couple of days when they gave him a hug and then walked to their own classes. But he was a great listener and was very willing to try everything they asked him to do. It made him really excited about practicing his swimming at Grammy and Pa's without his floaties with the help from Mom.
We discovered a hidden talent the both Makenna and Kellen possess....the ability to make some pretty impressive guns out of trio blocks. Seriously, I don't know how these kids do it. Kellen goes for the smaller, pistol type guns while Makenna prefers a rifle.
Not only does Carys LOVE her dogs, but she secretly aspire to be one herself!
