6/14 Kylie's 2nd Birthday - set 2

Time to blow out the candles... notice all the other kids helping. Traci is trying to protect the cake from the inevitable spit.

"Yummy cake mom!"

Melina thinks so too!

Happy 2nd Birthday Kylie.

Baby Mari was one of Kylie's highlights of her Birthday. Hopefully she'll be just as fascinated with her new baby sister.

Here's Kylie showing off her "strong" pose.

6/1 - 6/8

Kylie having a photo session with her doll.

You can see the intense concentration as she was trying to take a picture of me.

And now she is having the doll take a picture of her. (all of this unscripted of course).

May Tummy Development

You can see the progression from 24 weeks to 27 weeks.

5/19 - 5/25 (with video)

Kylie dancing around the family room.

Driving the tractor at the zoo.

I bought Kylie a harmonica today.. it was her new favorite toy for awhile. Biggest seemed interested too.

5/17 - Little Gym Party

These are some pictures from the Little Gym where Kylie's playgroup celebrated the kids' 2nd birthday. It was a good location, especially since all these kids are becoming so active.

Kylie likes to show off her biceps by displaying how long she can hang for.

Workingon Balance.

She tried to sneak up on the Balance beam when we weren't looking, it's padded all around, but I'm sure an unsupervised fall wouldn't have been much fun.
