I guess I'll just pickup where we last left off. Last post was about her 1st solid food :) Since then, she's had all the regular 1st foods..Peas, Carrots, Squash, Prunes, Pears, Bananas, Apples and today, Sweet Potatoes. So far so good. No allergies to report -- but I will be avoiding prunes like the plague from here on out. The diapers were quite rancid I must say. HA She was up to 2 jars a day and I've decided today to bump her up to 3 jars daily now. We went to Babies R Us yesterday and I got super excited about the #2 foods (yes, I'm a dork). They're so fun looking..all kinds of mixed things with blueberries, mangos, etc. Can't wait!!

After we left there, we started a 9 day vacation -- first stop, Florida for a couple days. Top 3 highlights: (1) She meet the rest of her FL family. (2) She played in the sand/salt water. (3) She played with her cousin Zoey who just turned 1 recently. On the way back, we stopped at Gamma and Gampa's Cartier's house in Alabama and spent some time with them. It was my mom's birthday and my second mom, Barb, got to meet KK! There's a little zoo nearby, so we took Kadence to see some more fun animals!
A couple days after getting home from our trip, Aunt Amanda and Uncle Topher came to visit here in Nashville! They bought Kadence this ridiculous 53.5" teddy bear that she thinks is the coolest thing ever! It makes me laugh every time I walk into her nursery to do anything. She got to spend a few days with them while we had a little bit of "us" time to relax. We end capped the week by taking her to the lake for the first time with everyone. She had a blast. Didn't get her in the water yet though.
As if our life couldn't get any busier, Kadence and I drove to NC with MeeMaw and PeePaw the last weekend in May to meet up with Jason and his grandparents for the holiday weekend. We hit up some flea markets and antique stores in Georgia the first day for Jason's birthday :) Then we went hiking up White Side Mountain, NC with KK in a stroller almost 2 miles. That was interesting to say the least! Let me tell you, those 3 wheel jogging strollers are pretty intense -- I highly recommend them for off roading experiences. HA Hiked to see some waterfalls and drove home the next day. I don't think Kadence has every slept so well!
At her 6 month appointment, she weighed in at about 16.7 lbs and was still in the 95% for her age in height. We still aren't sure where she's getting it from since I'm only 5'4" and Jason's at 5'9" -- maybe she'll be a volleyball player!

Spent the 3rd weekend of June down at his parent's house and went to Bell Buckle, TN for the RC Cola and Moonpie Festival. Was quite a bit of fun for being slightly redneck. We missed the hog calling and eating contest though on account of rain. Had us some RC Cola and HUGE BBQ stuffed potatoes though :) Later on that night at church, Baby K started "creeping" ie army crawling across the floor towards MeeMaw's brightly colored toes. Oh Lord, the crawling and fun times are about to start!
And lastly, 4th of July weekend was a blast. We got to go to Tullahoma, TN to see an airshow and some great fireworks. The loud noises freaked Baby K out at first, but she was generally fascinated once she got use to it! Think she was kinda mad when they were over. HA Got to go to the lake as well and she finally got to go swimming in her big pink blowup car. Got some great shots from the weekend including her two little teeth finally!
Like I said, time is flying by so quickly. So many fun things planned for this summer for us -- spontaneity is our greatest attribute. Who knows where or what we'll be doing next.
