10 months old

Kelvey is 10 months old and changing so fast. It won't be long and I will be planning her first birthday. I am already thinking of ideas.

We have stayed pretty busy this week and I am glad the week is over. Ron has been at school for his doctorate work the last 9 days. He has to stay there over night since they have class from 8a.m. to 9p.m. everyday. He came home a couple of nights for a little while but Kelvey was asleep both times. So yesterday I had to go get my oil change which is right by the University so we stopped by and had lunch with him. Kelvey was so excited to see her daddy.

We are really excited that Daddy gets home today sometime after lunch. We plan to head to Knoxville for a few days and take a short camping trip in the mountains. I am really ready for a break. 9 days straight without any relief is tough.
I don't know how Ron's sister, Shannon goes 18 months without her husband. I guess you get used to it after a while.

I will leave you with my favorite picture of Kelvey taken this week.Just when I thought I would get a break from teething she has some more coming in right behind them. It is great fun!! HaHa!!

Fun at the pool

We went to swim with Missy, Maymie , Madden, Leigh, Marleigh, and Mason on Thursday. We had a great time and everyone was so good. Thanks for the invite girls we will have to do it again soon!














All smiles! Most of the time

There's those teeth again



















Maymie enjoying her Sonic!



















Marleigh was so happy!
Sorry the boys slept the whole time I didn't get any of them. Next time!!

After a long day swimming Kelvey was ready for a nap! Doesn't look very comfy to me but she didn't want to sleep on Mommy.

Babies Galore

We had a little shower to welcome Madden and we had a blast!. It was great fun seeing all us girls with kids. Crazy!!! What did we ever do without them! Here are some pictures a our fun and busy day. Kelvey was not to sure about all these boys! They are all so sweet! The big girls were in another world watching a movie. You hardly new they were here, they were so good!! Thanks everyone for coming we will have to get together more often!

I didn't get these pics so I stole them from Missy. Thanks Missy

Teeth

I have been trying for a long time to get a picture of Kelvey's teeth. Finally with the help of Ron we got one. I hope we are through the worst of teething for a while at least! How soon do the others come?
Nope I am not going to show you Daddy!

















Ok Daddy, You're so funny!




















This is the only Father's Day picture I got around to taking of the two them. It was a busy day!

First Boat Ride

We took a quick trip to Kentucky before Ron had to get back in school mode. While we were there Kelvey experienced another first. She went on her first boat ride and even got in the water. She wasn't quit sure she liked her life jacket but seemed to be ok once the boat got moving. Here are a few pictures of our ride!

Busy weekend

Another busy weekend. Friday, was Daddy's birthday, Saturday was the McKelvey family reunion ( which I didn't get in pictures of because I was too busy taking care of Kelvey in the heat), and Sunday we went to Shannon (Wil's) baby shower. Where I also did not get very many pictures because Kelvey was very unhappy. So here is a group picture of all us girls and kids. It was fun seeing everyone and our kids together. Can't wait for Wil, Joslynn, and Dayne to join us!

This is Noah and Madden

Happy Birthday Daddy

Today is Daddy's birthday and I had a great time celebrating with everyone. Although Mommy was afraid I would be fussy since I had a bit of a fussy day. My teeth are hurting and I just wanted to sleep so I could be happy at dinner. I even got a small taste of icing. It was ok. Hope you had a great day Daddy!
Love Kelvey
Mommy will post pics later. She is so silly she left her camera at G.G.'s

Birthday Day pics.
We went to eat Japanese and then to G. G.'s for cake

Yes we do dress the girl cousin in matching outfits a lot but this one was a pure accident!
They just showed up with the same outfit on and they were so cute holding hands!

One Busy Day

Kelvey went to bed early tonight so I thought I would take a moment to update. Today was a very eventful day and looking back pretty funny. Kelvey had her 9 month pictures today so I knew we had to get moving this morning. Of course little princess wasn't ready to get up so I went ahead and got ready trying to make a bunch of noise only to wake her up, but she would not. SO I finally had to wake her up, mistake number one. Then I tried to get some cereal in her so she would have a full belly and be happy for pictures. Of course today she decided she wasn't hungry, so in the tub we went. That went fine. Got her dresses and tried to fit in a quick nursing session before G.G. came. We headed out and the pictures went pretty well for a baby that wanted to explore and she was probably a little hungry. Next G.G. and I decided to stop and feed ourselves, Kelvey still wouldn't take a minute to eat(just too busy). While we were waiting for our food I noticed she was a little smelly but thought she could wait. (Remember we are smack dab in the middle of cutting the top two teeth.) She starting getting a little fussy so I got her out of the high chair and right away noticed my arm was wet. I looked over at G.G. and I could tell by the look on her face that something wasn't right. I looked and yes there was poop all over her and me. She hasn't done that in months. So now what, I thought! I took her into the bathroom, stripped her down, got her a clean as possible, and tried to get my self clean all the while she is screaming and every women in the bathroom is looking and commenting. Now we are semi clean and head out to the car with only a diaper on walking through the restaurant to get a change of clothes. All I had were dresses she wore in pictures so I put a slip on and went back to eat with very little appetite. Needless to say I could not wait to get home and shower off that smell. That is one reason Kelvey was in the bed before sun down. We are exhausted! I wish I would had only thought to get a pic. Oh well.

Memorial Day

I just realized I have not updated on Memorial Day weekend. I don't have the pics yet because my camera is hiding. But anyway Kelvey and Ty had their very first camp out. We went to Kentucky and camped out at Ron's grandmothers farm. We bought a pop up camper and we really enjoyed. For their first time sleeping outside without their bed the babies did very well. Kelvey can't wait for her next adventure in the camper. Ron and I can't wait to build memories with her camping where ever the road takes us. We plan on taking a trip to the mountains and one more place this summer. Hopefully I will get pics up soon.

Sorry it took awhile but the good news is I found my camera!
Enjoy!!

9 months

Well Kelvey is 9 months old. We went to the Dr. on Thursday and she is write on track. Still little but doing well. She weighed 15 lbs. 15oz. in the 10th percentile. Crawling had become the greatest thing in her life. She is never still. She is all over the place and if she is being held she makes every effort to get down. Oh my it is exhausting but I love watching her go! We had a very busy weekend, Grana came in town and we stayed busy as ever. Friday we spent the day with the Witsman girls at there pool. Saturday we went to a movie while Kelvey slept. Kelvey was so sleepy that she went to sleep at six and slept until 6:30 Sunday morning through thunderstorms and bad weather all night. I wish I slept that well!!! I hope all had a great weekend!
