Happy 8 month old day!

Kaelyn is 8 months old today - where is the time going?! Summer is coming to an end also & it feels like it just got started - I'm not ready for winter, although I do love fall! Kaelyn is extremely curious & becoming quite the social butterfly. She seems to make friends everywhere we go and absolutely everyone comments on her huge smile & what a happy baby she is. If only they could see her an hour before bedtime when she's at her worst - you'd never believe it's the same baby. She's been saying dada dada a lot, and yesterday she did make a sound that sounded like mommy - but she definitely seems to prefer the dada sound. I told Barry that she doesn't know what she's saying and that it absolutely does not mean that he is her favorite (because we all know that I am).

These are pictures we took in the yard yesterday. Kaelyn looked cute & it was a bright, sunny day, so we just took some quick shots. I think they turned out cute.

Later in the day we went to Breakheart Reservation in Saugus. It was only 20 minutes from our house, and it was so pretty. It had tons of great walking trails & midway through the woods there was a lake with a beach - pretty cool. I love the fact that there are evergreen trees next to the beach - so New Englandy!

These are all from last weekend when we went to Good Harbor beach in Gloucester & then Rockport with Barry's parents.

I put this one on here mostly to show you the 2 lighthouses in the background - I just think they're cool. You can see them from Good Harbor beach.

Barry took these pictures. I really like them.

Kaelyn & I love to catch up with our magazine reading. Kaelyn is obsessed with paper products - she loves magazines, paper, kleenex - anything she can rip to shreds!
