9 Months

Keelie is 9 months old today! Can you believe it? She had her dr. appt. yesterday and she weighs 17.6 lbs (45th percentile), is 28 in. tall (60th), and her head is 18 in. (90th). Yep, she definately has the Goodman head! They are known for their big heads. I love it though! I still can't believe how much she grows from month to month. It is so fun to watch her learn new things. She doesn't crawl on her hands and knees, she does the army crawl. She is getting pretty fast! She loves standing against the couch or anything she can reach. She would stand all day if she could! She is a really good eater (she must get that from me). She eats pretty much anything we give her. She especially loves graham crackers and honey nut cheerios! As you can see in the second picture she has alot of teeth. She had 8 teeth before she was even 8 months old! I think she might even be getting another one. It's hard to tell cuz its a molar. The doctor said she is a little young to get those yet, but I swear she is! Some days she drools and drools, and sticks her finger in the side of her mouth and just naws on it. I guess we'll find out soon if she is! She loves giving kisses!(mostly to babies and her dolls). She does the usual open mouth kiss that most babies do, but she also can pucker and gives big smackers too. It is so cute! She still loves books. This morning she sat and looked at book for 20 min.! I was pretty impressed that it kept her attention that long. I love my baby girl so much. She is so sweet and I love being able to spend everyday with her! These are some cute pictures I took of her today. Isn't she so cute!

Trip to the Cabin

This weekend we went up to my grandparents cabin in Pinedale. We had fun spending time with family and enjoying the GREAT weather! Keelie had so much fun because we spent alot of time outside. Here she is playing with dad!

Me and Keelie

Joe and all the guys playing football.
Keelie had fun playing with Tatum, my cousins little girl. Keelie is the one in purple if you can't tell.
Keelie kept getting scratches on her face. I don't know how she got the one on her cheek, but I think the one just below her eyebrow is from her scratching herself, and the one right next to her eye is from trying to get her into the car too fast during the rain and bumping her against the car. She had a rough time! So sad!

Cute pictures of Keelie

These are just some random pictures of Keelie recently. She is at such a fun age. It's so fun watching her learn new things!
Keelie loves books! She will sit and look at one forever! The picture below is what we used to feed Keelie in. This is her escaping!
We finally went and bought a high chair. Sometimes she likes it and sometimes she doesn't. Obviously she liked it this day! She loves smearing her food around!
Keelies favorite place to play is in her crib! When we put her in it she starts kicking really fast and acts all excited. It's so cute!

Fun filled week

So Aug. 3rd was my moms 50th birthday. Since its such a big year we decided to throw her a surprise party! My sister Stephanie and her two kids, Maci and Bryce, who live in Texas came to town to surprise my mom aswell. We had such a fun week, there was never a dull moment! We went shopping like 3 different times, went swimming a bunch, went to Peter Piper pizza, went slip-n-sliding, watched High School Musical 1 and 2, got Maci's and my other niece Hailees ears pierced, and just hung out a ton!

Bryce LOVED Keelie! He loved to hug her and tickle her(usually on the face).

We got a glimpse of Keelies teenage years the other day. She LOVES cell phones! We gave her Joes to play with and she rolled over and started pushing buttons and it just reminded us of a teenager texting her friends. She also gets really mad when we take it away! She is so funny! We love our little girl so much! I also wanted to say that we won our co-ed city league softball tournament last night! I didn't take any pictures because I felt like its probably getting boring reading about all of our softball stuff. I am pretty proud though because that is 3 tournaments in row we have won!

St. George

Every year we go up to St. George for Joe to play in a softball tournament. The last two years a couple of us wives wanted to play in the womens tournament that goes on at the same time, so we got a team together. There are some VERY manly women that play in this tournament. Last year we got killed and didn't win one game. But this year after losing the first game we got to play in the lower division with teams that were alot more like us. Our goal was to do better than we did last year. But we did way better then we thought we would, we won! We had so much fun! And since our husbands team didn't do that great they were able to watch us for a change! The fun thing about this tournament is that we play all through the night. Our first game was at 9 Friday night, then we played at 2 in the morning and then at 4. Then we went and slept until like 1 in the afternoon. On Saturday our first game was at midnight, then 1 and the championship game was at 2 in the morning. I'm not a big soda drinker but I did have to drink some Mt. Dew to give me some energy that last night. Eventhough we had a blast, I was very eager to get home. We left Keelie overnight for the first time(actually 2 nights). I seriously missed her so much. I was scared she wouldn't remember me, but I think she did. I am very happy to be home and excited to go to bed early tonight!

Our team (hope I get all the last names right): Stacy Powell, Breck Fielding, me, then hiding behind me is Marissa Fischbeck, the two shorties in the front are Deedra Gardner and Bridgit Wright, then behind them is Jen Seiter, Jill Fischbeck, Sadie Taylor, and Tara Fischbeck.

My little sister Brittney had her little baby girl, Kendal Sue Blount, on Sat. She looks just like Brittney, blonde hair, blue eyes, butt chin and all! She is very cute, and Keelie is excited to have another cousin to play with!

This is Keelie, Kendal, Britt, and Hailee.

My little Keelie is almost 7 months old! I can't believe how fast she is growing. At her 6 mo. doctor appt. she was 15.7 lbs. (50th), 26 3/4 in. (90th), and her head is 17 1/4 in. (90th). We started her on solid fruits and veggies. She seems to like all fruits, but the only veggies she likes so far is sweet potatos, and sometimes she likes squash. But there is still alot of things we need to try. She loves drinking water from her sippy cup. She sits up well, but still isn't crawling yet. She is so close, she get up on her knees but can't seem to move her arms, so she just rolls over. She pretty much sleeps through the night except she wakes up between 5 and 6. If we let her cry she doesn't go back to sleep and it keeps us up. So we usually will just bring her in bed with us and she will sleep until like 7. I know thats not a good habit to start, but I don't want to get up at 5! I don't know what else to do! She is still a really good baby, and we are loving her little personality that is starting to come out!
