Kylie May smiled for the camera today 327

We woke up and had breakfast, went on a walk, took a nap and sat down for lunch. This is when I started take photos of my little pumpkin. She was just looking so sweet. Then I decided to make her a little crown out of construction paper I happened to have sitting at the table. Then I decided that I might as well take some photos and see if we can get a good one to use for her birthday invitations... and the rest is history. Other then taking a ton of photos, Kylie played, napped and took another little bike ride, this time to downtown to say hi to Marisa, Neils, Raine and Sunny (they were in town at a midwife appointment, Marisa was due yesterday with baby #3, Sky). We came home and Auntie Melissa fed Kylie dinner while Craig and I both got ready for work (Craig and the hospital, me at the studio). My dad came over to help watch Kylie and they enjoyed playing and reading until I got home. Kylie fell asleep and I got a surge of domestic energy and made chocolate chip cookies! Our oven acts up sometimes and sure enough my first batch suffered the consequences. Although we set the oven at 350, every once in a while is just keeps creeping up and finds itself at 450 burning the cookies. Once we let the oven cool back down a little I tried again. In the end I was successful and now have a couple plates of cookies waiting to greet Craig when he gets home in the morning. It has been hard having him gone so much, only 15 more days to go :o)

More to come soon,
Natalie

"Hello Mommy"

"Look a Bow Wow"

"HI Bow Wow"

Kylie, how old are you going to be on your birthday? "One"

"Or was it 5?"

"No, I'm pretty sure it was 1"

"Yummmm lunch is so good"

"Nothing can stop me when I am pushing my wagon and wearing my crown!"

She loves looking at all the painted rocks, thank you again to everyone who contributed, it is truly one of my favorite parts of our home.

Since Daddy didn't get to see her crown during the day, she decided she could wear it for him during dinner :o)
