The Trujillos

Daddy and Uncle Tim attended more panels and workshops at DragonCon today while Auntie JoAnn, Auntie Kim, Mommy and I all went to visit Dahlia, Joe, Joe Jr, Alex, Nicolas, and Lauren for a BBQ. Dahlia's parents were there also. I receive a lot of beautiful clothes, sandals and hair clips, headbands and toys from Dahlia. I started to cry when they put on the sandals and then the headband. Too much too soon. That evening we all met up at the Conceirge Lounge for appetizers and desserts as we watch the FireFly Panel. Again, I was exausted that evening.

DragonCon 2008

This morning we all went to see the costume parade. The weather was beautiful, however a bit hot and sticky for Daddy. Tim and Daddy were able to attend many panels and workshops and I was able to crawl and "walk" around in Auntie Kim's large suite complete with dining room table. Auntie JoAnn, Auntie Kim and Mommy had a lot of visiting to do.

Atlanta

We picked up Auntie Kim and Uncle Tim this morning at 7 am. Today we all fly down to Atlanta to attend DragonCon 2008. We love traveling with Auntie Kim because she was able to get us entrance into the NWA WorldClub at the airport, first class seats, on the 45th floor of the Marriott Marquis, and entrance into the concierge lounge that serves appetizers, desserts and breakfast. We met Auntie JoAnn in the afternoon. I was extremely tired by the end of the day.

Daddy's Birthday

Happy 41st Birthday Daddy! My friends, Morgan, Emma, and Gabriel came over and we all walked to Buhr Park on this beautiful, sunny day. Grandma Debby came and treated Daddy to a Thai lunch at Marnee Thai. Afterwards, we all had some of his birthday cake during the party. Later that evening I attended my first tail-gate party and saw 6 minutes of the first quarter of the Eastern Michigan University football game. A very fun-filled day!

Peas Porage - Not!

From the words of Beth...
Lunchtime was amusing. First I served Kaylie "peas". At least that's what the package said, but I wouldn't have eaten them :-) Her reaction was amazing- she screwed up her eyes, tossed her head back and began to gag. Wow. Even I never imagined they were that bad! Next I discovered I can only serve her 1 to 2 star puffs at a time because she will stockpile them in her mouth like a chipmunk. I think I should have remembered that one. Finally, she grabbed her hair with both slimy hands presumably in frustration because the puffs were gone and her mouth was not yet full and created two gorgeous "ears". Adorable!

Later we played in the nursery. As Kaylie crawled about it struck me how amazing it must be for her: touching for the first time those objects which have made up her landscape since birth. Her activity had an intensity and focus that was really interesting to watch. She worked hard today. If only all of us could enjoy our work so much!

Wattle Walking

A bit of a "Kaylie Day" in the am. I was very happy, but needed to be held all morning. I was a little more independent in the afternoon after a good long nap! We played in the front yard. I had a fruit "Popsicle" and we practiced walking. A Beautiful Day!

Ms. Beth is Back

Ms. Beth has returned from her vacation! She and her Mommy flew to France to meet with her two sisters for a fun-filled adventure on a tour bus. They drove all around France and even went to Rome. She was gone for two weeks and I really missed her. So today I had to show her everything I had learned including standing on my own. I also smiled to show my 6 teeth. We took a walk in the stroller, but after awhile I preferred to move about so we headed for home and I crawled on the grass, tried to eat dry leaves (is autumn coming already?!) and greeted a pretty gray and white striped neighbor cat.
