Dear Kallahan,

You’re 9 months old today.  You have made our life even more wonderful.  You have the cutest little demeanor because you are so happy and friendly.  This month you got your first haircut, went on your first horse ride and got one more tooth (the front upper right) – that makes three.  You are constantly pulling up on anything and everything.  This month you have begun to cruise; it’s not enough anymore to just pull up on something, you now have to cruise the perimeter of the tables and couches too. It’s amazing. You can’t stand still! It won’t be long before you’re walking on your own.  Granny showed me today how you can climb up and down the stairs.  
You are becoming more and more curious each day.  That means getting into things that you don’t need to like fireplace tools, grabbing drinks, etc.  We are working on “no, no.”  But you just look at us and smile.  Oh, the road we have ahead should be fun! 

You love the water.  From the bath to the pool you light up when you see water.  You almost nose dive to get into the bath.  You also love to eat!  You are still eating baby food primarily but we are introducing some soft table foods like bread and smashed veggies.  When you want another bite you scream.  I mean scream!  Last night daddy was telling Keeler that he needed to eat his food because it won’t be long and you will be taking all his food.  You are sleeping through the nights and taking two naps a day.  We just got back from a trip to Texas and while we were there you did great.  You love our family and seem to feel at home wherever we go.  We love you Kallahan!  Happy 9 months.

Love,

Mommy    

Happy first day of summer!!

We are getting super excited because our cousin Megan (aka May-May) and her boyfriend Eddie are coming up to see us this weekend.  Megan lived with us for about 10 months two years ago.  We have only seen her once since then so it’s a way overdue visit.  She will be meeting Kallahan for the first time.  We love our May-May!!
