Johnson Baby Update: The Day That Is, Was, and Forever More 344

     Kylie woke up this morning to find that she still had a clapping entourage. Her Grammy, aunties, and uncle were there waiting to see her beautiful morning face. After waking up to the smell of bacon, Kylie got to spend some time with her daddy and eat a yummy breakfast before he fell asleep. Everyone then got dressed for the day, and Natalie was off to take some pictures of a family from church. While Mommy was away aunties, Grammy, and uncle tried to get the little monkey to sleep, but she would not have it. Kylie enjoyed walking back and forth in the living room, never falling out of step. Before long it was time to head over to Mimi and Papa's house for a nap while Grammy, Mommy, Auntie Melissa, Auntie Quin (the birthday girl), and Auntie Lane headed to the nail salon for some girl time.
   It was great to spend some time with the girls but we definitely missed Kylie so after we were done we headed back to Mimi and Papa's to pick her up and take a walk downtown in the beautiful Southern California weather. After some ice cream, we made a stop by the kids shoe store and got Kylie some shoes with better soles on them for all the walking she does these days. After some cute shoes were bought and a couple of "bow wow's" spotted, we headed home to get ready for Quin's birthday dinner at Pat & Oscar's. By this time Craig was awake and ready to spend some time with his girls. Kylie was very excited to see him and play with him for a while before he had to head to work again. She had been very vocal all day long but she really put those lungs to work at dinner with lots of pterodactyl squealing. Grammy saved the day by taking her for a walk outside to see and feed the ducks which she loved. After dinner we hoped back in to the car for the short ride home and then it was time for a quick bath and bed time. As much as we love seeing her, our presence does seem to excite her into not sleeping so it took quite a while for her to fall asleep but now she's out like a light and we've all enjoyed a relaxing evening together.
      For us Porterville folk I'm afraid it's the second (more like tenth) verse, same as the first and we will be heading home tomorrow. Naturally we hate to leave this wonderful little family behind, however, as always, we are grateful for the time we got to spend here and look forward to the next visit. During this trip we have been reminiscing about how we were feeling last year at this time when Nat was rapidly approaching her due date and we were all anxiously awaiting the bundle of joy that we now know as Kylie. The year has gone by soo fast and it is crazy how much the little munchkin grows and changes between each of our visits but we wouldn't have it any other way and are so glad that we have gotten to be a part of her life.

More to come soon,
Aunties Quin and Lane
