Little Worm, etc

Modeling her new dress from Auntie Cheriene - she keeps Kaylee in high style all the way from across the pond!


Here's our little bookworm! We start most mornings with story time - quite often before breakfast! - and read to her (and she "reads" on her own) all throughout the day. She also loves playing in diaper boxes; I guess she's glad we buy in bulk. :)




Helping unload clean dishes (and helping dirty others):


Wearing her matching hat and swimsuit for the first time together! Completely coincidental, as she got the hat as a gift, and I bought the swimsuit not thinking about the hat. Super cute combo, though!

Kaylee's not too sure about the life vest. On the boat: it's 5 o'clock somewhere!


At the Rockland Jetty for the parade of tall ships:



We stayed at the Clary Lake B&B...Daddy with his Burger Queen.


Grampa and Kaylee outside the B&B:

Grampa and Kaylee mesmerized by a Baby Einstein video. Kaylee checking out Uncle Jeff's lobster dinner.


More boat time; Kaylee had gotten to steer on her previous trip, so she was allowed to have full control this time.



Daddy trying to sleep...Kaylee has other plans!


Grampa and Kaylee walking back from the dock:


On the hammock - I think Kaylee was ready to get down by the time we took a family picture.


Great Uncle Jerry (aka Grampa) and Nate in their Hawaiian shirts, with Kaylee


Kaylee was worn out by the end of the day!!

July 4

July 3 - 3rd day of red, white & blue attire!


July 4 we went to my parents' house for the day. Kaylee spent the morning swimming with Grampa and Gramma (and us), and a bunch more family showed up around lunchtime. First picture below looks like Kaylee's thinking, "what do I do with these?" ...then..."Aaahaha! Wave the flags!!" :-) She was not happy when we took the flags and headband away! (I think in the last of these photos she was watching her shadow wave the flags.)



Fun in the pool...


Kaylee's great-grandfather's (PawPaw) 84th birthday was July 6, so we had a celebration for him on the 4th.


Kaylee had fun with all the necklaces!! Putting on, taking off, putting on...
