Okay, so I know we haven't updated in a while, but we were out of town in Utah and Idaho and now we have been house sitting, so I haven't had access to any of our super cute pictures of our baby. And if I don't have any super cute pictures of Kelsey to post, I'm not sure I have much else worthwhile to post....=) So I will have to do the next best thing. Here is a link to some cute pics my sister-in-law and her hubby took at Ross' little bro's graduation on Friday and posted on their blog the next day: http://sweetforbabycakes.blogspot.com/2009/06/graduation-or-how-did-i-get-so-old.html
(Some people are much better at this blogging thing than we are, so we will just have to mooch off them for now.)

So check out how awesome I am
I know what you ladies are thinking... how awesome can he be? My hubby is pretty awesome, so what does this Ross guy think he's got? Well, BAM, prepare to be amazed. I'm about to make an entry that I promised my wife I would make, only one short month ago. See that? That's what you're missing, and what Suz is getting. Take that.
Really though, I did promise Suz that I would make a post about our trip to SF last month and well, I basically slacked. But tonight I wasn't feeling well so I stayed behind to take a nap, while Suz and Kelsey went to see her dad. I napped, I woke, now, I post. Basically, we had a great time. Ron invited us to come up to SF with him and Tyler to see a Giants game and basically play tourist in SF. How could we resist you ask? Well, that's a foolish question. I already told you we went. Not sure what you were expecting me to say.
Oh, and when we got back to our hotel room, Kelsey was going BONKERS just crawling around fast as can be on the bed, going absolutely nuts. Sooo tired but trying desperately to keep playing. We didn't get any great pics, but this one shows how much she dislikes being used as a pillow, I suppose.
The next day we went to Fisherman's Wharf and walked around a bit... and rode a cable car! Sad to say, but this was my first ride on a cable car, and Kelsey's (not so sad there) so we got to have a first together.
She was excited, let me tell you.
It got better anyway. We rode the cable car... she was a little confused at first but seemed to have fun. Anything that involves colors and shapes going past her she loves. An overpass is her best friend.
Anyway, we took the cable car from the Wharf to Market, then walked back, stopping by Max's to have lunch. Walking through Chinatown during the day; probably better than doing it at night. The city can be sketchy. Especially with geeks like us wandering around.

Happy (Late) Easter!
I figured it was about time to share some Easter pics since it has been two weeks already. Here's Kelsey decked out in her Easter outfit. She's not one to smile for the camera these days since she thinks it is a big toy you are waving in her face and not letting her have/eat/play with, but I thought this was a cute picture anyway =).
And here are a couple attempts at a family pic. The second one is the closest thing to a smile we got. It was hard enough for me and Ross to have a picture taken of us we both liked before Kelsey, so it will probably take a lot of practice to get one we like all 3 of us in. (Sorry Ross!)
And here she is on her first Easter egg hunt. Really not digging the cold grass. But at least it didn't take her too long to find them...since we didn't really hide them.
And finally a good close up shot after about 20 of them with her grabbing the camera.
We also started her on solid foods! Yum yum! (I'm not sure if she liked the rice cereal better or the spoon- which she had to hold herself, of course!)
And at the end of the day, I imagine the caption for these pictures goes something like this: "Hey mom, this is more like it! These are the kinds of solid foods I'm talking about!"
All in all, it was a great first Easter for our little girl!

Our Little Stander!
So just a couple days after we got back from LA, Kelsey added pulling herself up to standing to her resume! And now she is getting so solid at it and walking along things and everything! Here she is the very first time she stood straight up, supporting herself on a laundry basket of all things! (And then falling to her bum of course!) 
And then the first time she did it in her crib...
...she ended up like this:
But at least it made for some cute shots like this one:

Crawling & Sitting & High Chairs, oh my!
Our sweet little girl is changing so rapidly! Just in the past week and a half she has learned to crawl and sit up and had her first time in a high chair too! My mom and I are in LA (with Kelsey) so her daddy is missing her I'm sure. Luckily she crawled just a little and went from all fours to sitting up once before we left to come. But now, she is a total crawling and sitting pro! She is such a quick learner and I am so proud of her! Here are a few pics of her new skills. We love you daddy and we miss you!!!
Oh yeah, and her first top tooth poked through today too! She was working really hard on getting it out last night and this morning. Good job sweets!

Does it make me a bad mom...
...that I just had to get a shot of this?
I promise she wasn't screaming when I went to get the camera!

TEETH!!!
So our life seems to be revolving around teeth lately...Kelsey got her first tooth at 5 1/2 months! And her second one poked through on Monday (her 6 month birthday)! Here is a pic of me trying to show off her bottom right front, the first one that came in. I don't really think you can see it, but it's the best I can do for now. She likes to shut her mouth or stick her tongue out over them when I try to take pics or video.
And while Kelsey is getting teeth...her mommy might be losing one. Here is a picture I took of an x-ray of my tooth, or what's left of it I suppose...
Yes...that black area is infection...and apparently it is eating away at my jaw bone. Sad. Shocking. SAD. And according to my dentist's office, there is nothing I could have done about it. That's all I'm going to say about that...
But Kelsey is as cute as ever and reminds me every day that luckily there are more important things than teeth! (Since she is happy as can be and this was taken before she had any!)
