I think Kamdyn has played this piano more than I ever did. Seriously though, I hope Kamdyn will someday be interested in taking piano lessons. I took for 7 years and know the basics, but wish I had stuck with it so I could pick up any piece of music and play it. Oh well!!! There is always hope for Kamdyn!!!
Here is Kamdyn having a good time with Nanny. I love to hear her laugh like this! It is so adorable. Even though standing up on the couch is a "no, no" (and, she knows it!) it's hard to tell her no when she is having so much fun!!
Everytime Kamdyn visits with Nanny and Pop Pop they always have her some kind of present whether it's a book, a puzzle, a baby, shoes, outfit, etc. This visit was no exception. This time, Kamdyn got two books and a pair of precious Dora pink/brown tennis shoes. Here she is attempting to open her "pesents," as she likes to call them!
Since we first started going to see our lot we have always told Kamdyn that she couldn't get down and walk because it was muddy and dirty. She seemed okay with this and would always say, "Bye, dirt" when we would leave. Today, we were getting ready to go look at our lot and I said, "Kamdyn, you want to go see the dirt?" She says, "Go see the dirt, Daddy!" It cracked me up because she knew exactly what I was talking about. We let her actually walk out there today since there has been no rain to speak of in weeks. There was NO mud today! Here she is with Daddy looking at the dirt!
Since it is getting close to the Tigers first game, our TV STAYS on football! High School football, NFL Football, ESPN talk shows about football, it doesn't matter. If Midget football was on, we would probably watch that, too. Well, maybe not, but you get the point! We have even been to two high school football games already (South Aiken and North Augusta). Needless to say, Daddy is ready for the Tigers first big game against FSU on Labor Day. We've been practicing with Kamdyn saying, "Go Tigers!" and everytime she sees a tiger paw she says "tiger" or "Go Tigers!" Here she is in action! :) She's even dressed in purple!!!
Hairbows will finally stay in Kamdyn's hair.....well, that is if she doesn't pull them out! The "alligator clip" bows will finally stay and I can't tell you how ecstatic I am! Now I can dress my sweet girl up in cutsie clothes and hairbows to match!! Watch out, Daddy!!!
Taking her picture with a mouth full of grapes probably wasn't the best idea!
While I think she achieved this accomplishment a little late, it is an accomplishment, none the less. Kamdyn has finally learned to climb up on the couches and get down off of them ALL BY HERSELF! She will now throw her leg up on the couch and say "up here." She gets herself up. Then, when it's time to get down she says, "on my belly." She rolls over on her belly and pushes herself off. This is such a relief to us because she has always wanted to sit on the sofas with us; however, once she got up on the sofa we had to watch her like a hawk because she was notorious for trying to leap off and she always wanted to stand up. We were always paranoid that she was going to "break her neck" attempting to dismount off of the sofas. Now we don't have to worry because our little sweetie can do it ALL BY HERSELF!
Kamdyn got this Dora tent for her birthday. Yes, I know, that was almost 5 months ago; however, how many toys can a baby really play with and enjoy at a time? I have saved many of her birthday toys/books and have brought them out one at a time when I thought she was ready for them. This has made her LOVE them that much more. And, she feels like she gets new presents all the time. Here she is enjoying her new Dora "house" for the first time. She hasn't mastered ducking under the door just yet. Instead, she tends to move the entire tent with her each time she enters and exits!
