Today we took Kaitlyn to ride the train at the zoo. It was a beautiful day and I figured it was something she would enjoy. While she was generally happy for the 20 minute ride, I can't say that she looked like she was having a blast. She protested each time they stopped (so did I). It was time for her lunch, so maybe she was just hungry and not in the mood for the train. We fed her right after the ride. Here we are riding the train:

As soon as we got in the car, she fell asleep. We dropped Eric off to get his haircut and I drove around a little while she slept. Afterwards, we planned on going out for lunch but she was still sleeping. So we grabbed something to bring home with us. When we got home, we rolled the windows down and ate lunch in the driveway so she could get a full nap in! Oh the things you do so your child will nap! (She's been less than cooperative this week napping at grandma's, so we were excited that she was sleeping.)

Interesting Outfit

Eric picked out Kaitlyn's outfit today:

Doesn't she even seem to be saying, "Come on, Dad! What were you thinking?"

The Zoo

I took the day off yesterday to play with Kaitlyn - a Mommy and Me day! I decided the main event would be a trip to the zoo. In hindsight, I'm not sure what I was thinking! I've never been to the San Antonio zoo before, so I wasn't sure what to see and what to skip. Kaitlyn and I ended up wandering aimlessly. We got to the farthest spot from the front gate and she picked that time to protest. Needless to say, I wasn't eager to stay at the zoo with a crying kiddo. So the trip was cut short. We'll have to try again!

The weather has just been unbelievable, so we spent some time playing in the backyard on a blanket. I was reading a book and Kaitlyn played (and tried to help me read by chewing my book).

The End of Summer

I can't believe the summer is over. It's kinda sad that I'm not saying that until the end of September, but today was the first day it was a little cool outside. Kaitlyn has lived in shorts and onesies, so it will be interesting to expand her wardrobe a bit. Oooh, the possibilities!

Here's a picture of her in her Pooh outfit, concentrating hard at playing music. She's getting a few more hairs too:

And here she is this morning. I put some pants on for the trip to grandma's house. She cracks me up! She already as the "aww mom, another picture?" look down perfectly!

A Morning Girl?

I've been trying to catch on camera the joy that I get to witness each morning when I go to get Kaitlyn out of her crib. I think this morning I did a pretty good job. Now keep in mind that these pictures are being taken in the dark room, right when I open the door.

A little of this, a little of that

Another good weekend with the kiddo. On Saturday, she was dressed and ready for the UT vs Texas Tech football game. Unfortunately, the game had a late start time (7pm) and she couldn't hold her eyes open long enough to make it for kick off.

Here she is jumping in her cute bunny footy pajamas. I found these on clearance and was feeling nostalgic. She had the same outfit as newborn. This was after her bath on Sunday night and her hair was still a little messy.

And here she is this morning in the cute outfit her Grandma Aitken gave her. I continue to be amazed that she has no problem with hats! We hardly ever put hats on her, but she sure doesn't seem to mind. (Pay no attention to the morning milk that she is wearing...)

Mom, Dad and Kaitlyn at the Park

Today Eric and I had a day off, with nothing on the agenda. We all went to the park. We all swang and I took Kaitlyn on the slide. She seemed to like that:
