Kayci Loves Sammy Bearkat

We've had a great week with Kayci. This week we introduced her to two new foods- pears and bananas. She likes bananas, but the pears didn't go over so well. We went to Nana's house for dinner on Wednesday and that's where she had pears for the first time. I wish I hadn't forgotten the camera, because with every bite she made this really great "who farted?" face. I'll try to get some shots of it this week.

On Saturday Kayci went to her first football game. We went up to Huntsville for Sam Houston's homecoming. Kayci LOVED it. Of course, she loves being outdoors and there were so many people and things to look at. Of course, the game covered part of naptime, so she slept through a good portion of the game, including the part where I got to dress up as Sammy Bearkat during the 3rd and part of 4th quarters and came and held her. It was in the 50s, so she was bundled up for the first time- something Mommy and I aren't good about yet. We realized that we're totally unprepared for winter, so we went to Target on the way home and got Kayci a couple of warmer outfits. We're still looking for mittens in her size, though. We used socks.

Once she woke up, Kayci got to meet Sammy Bearkat, whom she loved. She just looked at him, probably wondering which weird family memeber this was. She did smile at him a couple of times. This little girl isn't afraid of anything. Boy, are we in trouble.

On the way home we stopped for dinner at a little pizza place that we love in Willis. That's where Kayci sat in a high chair for the first time. She did really well. She really enjoyed being up like a big girl and looking around at all the people and the shiny box in the corner. We were feeling brave, so we gave her a pizza crust to chew on, but mostly she just hit herself in the head with it. Boy, are we in trouble.

And finally this week, Kayci got her own sippy cup. Kristi's mom put a glass of water to Kayci's mouth last week and Kayci wanted to drink from it. So we went and got her a sippy cup that she could grab with both hands. I hope Grandpa doesn't let her drive his car anytime soon or we'll have to run right out and buy her a car, too. Back to the cup. She grabs it, but can't quite figure out how to get it up to her mouth. She tries to bring her head down to the cup instead, but that's still awesome because she knows where her mouth is and that it goes there. Besides, she's not even 5 months old yet. I don't think I learned how to drink from a cup until some time during high school.
