Daddy's Birthday and 12 Month Check up

Gregg turned a ripe old age of 27 on the 6th! He's catching up to me! ;-) He seems to have come to accept that his birthday might not be as eventful in the future being so close to Kaylen's... BUT we did try to give him his day! (or two!) Saturday, we went bowling with some friends. We went earlier in the evening so Kaylen could come and bought our friends pizza. They're always super generous with us on our birthdays, so this time we thought we would give a little back!

We had a little family gift opening on Sunday. Kaylen wanted to help Daddy open his presents. It was very sweet of her considering she hasn't been able to open any of hers yet! They're all waiting for her birthday celebration this Saturday! She is a very patient... eh hem... girl! They're in a big pile, but the pile seems to be getting bigger and bigger!

Gregg's birthday came with gorgeous weather! We kind of let Kaylen's mood shape our day. She didn't go down for a nap early, so going to the local baseball game was out of the question. She played outside with us a little bit and then took one of her marathon naps! We put her monitor right on the outside of our window on the window sill and went outside to play some bocce ball. It was so nice outside! Gregg and I got to have a little date while she napped! And who knew the stud was going to kill me at bocce ball! When she did finally wake up, we played some more outside and we bbq'd some chicken on the grill with some corn on the cob! It was such a beautiful day and it was nice that we were able to enjoy so much of it!

June is quite the month for celebrations for us! We have Kaylen's birthday, Gregg's birthday, my Dad's birthday, both Gregg's sisters' birthdays, my parents Anniversary and of course, Father's Day!

Our big girl had her 12 month check up today! We always like to go to those together. Gregg is such a rock star. I can't handle looking at Kaylen's poor little face when she gets her shots and lucky for me, Daddy is our rock. So, Daddy hugs Kaylen and loves on her and I hug and love on Daddy... we form a little support chain! :-) But Kaylen did really well today. She got her MMR shot. Apparently she could break out in quite the rash in 10-13 days... poor baby. So, I guess we'll be on the look out for that!

These are her stats: Height- 29.75 inches (75%); Weight- 20.13 lbs (50%); Head- 25%. Ha ha... I just can't help but think she's chunky from the neck to her ankles... then she has this tiny head and tiny little feet! I'm sure the world of balancing to walk is coming a little slower for her thanks to those tiny feet! But she sure can try and get around quite a bit on those little babies!

The Dr. said we can start with the restricted foods, eggs, wheat, peanut butter, honey, etc in moderation. So, that should be fun! We have her big birthday party on Saturday (12th... thanks again Grandpa for sharing your birthday!). My Dad just got into town, my Mom will be coming tonight and the Joneses will all get here on Saturday. It's going to be fun to have everyone here for the weekend! Happy Birthdays all around!
