cassidy ranch

the cassidys were so gracious to have us out to their ranch for thanksgiving. we had such a great time relaxing, hunting, fishing and freezing! it was very cold but we enjoyed every second! kamdyn was such a trooper the entire time. she did great both ways of our 7 hour drive and was so good about being passed around, missing naps, etc. there were plenty of people who were willing to help out with her, which made it so nice for zack and me to be able to do things together, outside of the house! we had a great thanksgiving!

cutie pie

sothe other day when i was sitting on kamdyn's floor playing with her i started looking through all her drawers and closet for things that she has that i might have forgotten about. this idea just popped into my head, so we had a little photo shoot....

8 months old

kamdyn turned 8 months old on thursday! time really does fly. she is getting so big (& fat!) and doing so much! she is very responsive and so funny. she is VERY close to crawling and loves going from laying to sitting on her own. it was a shock to check on her last week and find her sitting up in her crib! we had to lower it this weekend b/c she is also pulling up on her knees! it is so cute but sometimes she plows forward and bonks her head. sleeping is funny too now - as you can see below, i think she is sitting up and then decides it's time to go to sleep and just goes down from her sitting position. it's hilarious!




here are some of the cutest, funniest things she is doing these days:

*scrunches her nose like a pig & breathes in and out real quick
*makes fist and waves it back and forth, like "yes" in sign language
*always moving legs and feet...daddy does this with his feet too!
*picking up and holding things with her feet...even her bottle when she is drinking it!
*talking non-stop and making herself laugh
*rolling around everywhere to get where she needs to go
*switching out her paci's back and forth when she has the option

...just to name a few! we are having a blast and feel so privelaged to have kamdyn in our lives!
