Happy Daddy's Day Barry!

Well, it's Thursday now, & I tried uploading these pictures on Sunday actually in celebration of Father's Day - but the system kept crashing. So here we are. We spent a nice Father's Day together relaxing around the house. I went out and got Barry sandwiches from one of his favorite places, that I actually don't like - which makes it all the more appealing to him of course. But it was his day after all, so I conceded.

Daddy in his new Celtics hat. He loves watching the NBA finals & was very excited when they won the series Tuesday. Not sure it I'm using all the "proper" terminology here - long story short...Celtics won, Barry happy.

Kaelyn loves to fall asleep on her daddy

Kaelyn's new thing is she loves to jump & she wants to be active all the time - so we went out and bought this monstrosity that we soooo don't have the room for. But it keeps her entertained for awhile, and for me, that's good enough.

I guess she had had enough

The theme is...tiny baby

We apparently have a little thumbelina on our hands - Kaelyn is shrinking before our very eyes! No, it's just that a lot of these pictures she looks so tiny - it's just too cute!

Look, she's barely bigger than a badminton birdie! Our new badminton set came with this awesome oversized birdie & racquets, so we thought it would be really cute to put her next to them and make her look like she's really tiny. I'm not sure the effect worked, but it's still cute.

Look how tiny she is next to mommy!...and I shall call her mini me.

Look how tiny she is in that high chair! I guess she's still too small for this one. I thought she would have a great time sitting up higher with mommy & daddy, while she played with some toys on her tray. Not so much - she can't even reach the tray.

Look how small she is compared to this caterpillar we found in the yard. Ok, now I've taken it too far. This is her new "hungry caterpillar" toy which a neighbor gave us. How nice - and she really likes it.

But she still always goes back to the classics...her hands.

No news, just pics

Kaelyn has been having more and more unhappy outbursts lately - we're not sure what that's all about. She's usually pretty content overall, but twice today (of course when I was out at the store & couldn't leave right away) she just broke out into sheer unhappiness. It starts out with her getting a really serious look on her face, then I try to make her smile but with no success. I've discovered that's the sign of bad things to come...when she won't smile for me. Then very shortly thereafter, she gets super-pouty-face as we call it (which is adorable and heartbreaking all at the same time) and then she just starts crying uncontrollably. She started doing this for the first time when my mom visited a few weeks ago. We thought she was teething, but it doesn't appear she is. Hopefully it's just a phase. Either way, she's still just the best!

I think this is my favorite picture right now. She doesn't even look like a baby here...she looks more like a toddler to me. Maybe it's just me.

Even though we have a high chair now, I just haven't brought myself to use it quite yet. She just started getting the hang of this Bumbo seat, so I've been wanting to try that instead. Eating cereal was a huge mess yesterday, so today I got smarter and put her in a wipeable seat with a wipeable bib. She looks like she's ready for her first haircut - the bib completely overpowers her - but she has no hair to cut.
