We took a walk today and looked at colored leaves. We also saw apple trees along the way. I enjoyed myself but from time to time the sun would shine right in my eyes (even with the stroller hood down). We'll have to remember the hat from now on! I was a little fussy in the afternoon and would cry at times even when held. Ms. Beth thinks its my teeth again. She put me in the Baby Bjorn and I fell asleep a.s.a.p. Later in the evening, Mommy, Daddy and I traveled to Grandma Debby's and Grandpa Steve's house. We had a delicious pasta dinner with tomatoes and basil from the garden. I also got to play "Patty Cake" with Auntie Deanna. For dessert we all went to get soft serve ice cream from Mr. Freeze's. It was a great day after all!

Whole Foods Grand Opening
New Experiences today. First, Ms. Beth took me out for a walk in a blue backpack, the same backpack that Grandma Peters used to carry my Aunt Rebecca when she was a little baby. I loved it because I was closer to the tree leaves and blue skies. So close, I could almost touch them. Then Ms. Beth, Mommy and I went to the Whole Foods Grand Opening in Cranbrook Square. I got to sample pears, Kashi pizza, a yellow organic cheeto, and a caramel scone. The store was so brightly lit and so colorful. I hope that we will be able to go again, perhaps next time in my new blue backpack!

The Music
Beth wrote...
Today we took a long walk with the stroller. We stopped for quite a while to play under a line of trees in Buhr Park near the Cobblestone Farm. Kaylie saw squirrels and cars and leaves and many more things but today her favorites were the thin, long twigs that lay all over the ground. She liked to pick them up and "conduct" with them. Kaylie had no orchestra only the hum of the traffic, the chattering of the squirrels and whatever music was inside her head!

Must...Stay...Awake!
Ms. Beth wrote...
As for me, if I ever try to get out of bed with my eyes still closed it is only because my alarm has rung and I feel I have no choice. Now Kaylie has a different philosophy. For example, today I was told she had woken up quite early, so I anticipated an early nap for her. As expected she began to rub her eyes and stagger about somewhere around 9:45 am. But she would not go down. Two and half hours later she finally gave up and closed her eyes. She seemed to be sleeping deeply about 5 minutes later when suddenly she sat up and opened her eyes. Less than a second later her eyes closed (I think involuntarily) and she nearly fell sideways back onto the mattress. But with the determination of a hero she began "climbing" upwards hands gripping the side of the crib, eyes closed as if in sleep, when Wham! she fell truly asleep again and smacked her face into the wooden slats of the crib She was OK, by the way. This all happened much more quickly than the time it took you to read this and so I was up and by the crib almost in time to save her. Now she is sleeping peacefully on my lap. Once this is written I will try and put her in her crib. Your guess is as good as mine as to what might happen next! :-)

Happy Birthday, Coral!
Today is Coral's 4th birthday party. It was such a fantastic, sunny, cool day and I got to play with so many little kids and babies. Coral's Grandma, PJ, fed me pumpkin ice cream which I loved! By the afternoon, I was so exhausted that I had to take a nap on Mommy's lap. I woke up and all the guests were gone. Apparently that was OK since Mommy and Daddy got to visit longer with Coral's parents. For dinner, we all when out to eat delicious Thai food or at least that is what I've heard...I am still learning to eat white rice.

Nanny-Pattern Baldness
Ms. Beth wrote...Kaylie's latest is pulling my hair out by the roots as she drifts off to sleep. It's apparently extremely soothing for her, but I think I'll put a stop to it before I develop "Nanny-pattern baldness". This new trick began innocently enough. Last week she started holding my braid while trying to fall asleep. That was cute so I let her do it. Little did I know...

The Babies
Ms. Beth and I took a walk with her sister and baby Gabriel again. The sky was deep beautiful blue. We, babies, seem to recognize each other--at least I did. I squealed with delight as soon as I saw my old friend.
