We're back! Actually we arrived in Dallas Monday morning at 1 am! We were supposed to leave on Saturday, but the ice storm in Portland caused our flight to be cancelled. So, we didn't leave until Sunday evening. Kayleigh was supposed to sleep the whole time, but she didn't sleep at all! She just wanted to look around at all the other passengers and flirt. If anyone made eye contact, her whole face would light up. Guess I should be happy to have such a social baby. I even handed her to the complete stranger next to me and she didn't flinch!

Our week in Oregon was so much fun. Wednesday Ame, Kayleigh and I braved driving in unknown places to visit some winerys. I bought some really yummy dessert wine for our anniversary! It was a pretty busy week with Adam and April. Kayleigh loved having April there to entertain her. And I have to say I didn't mind it either. Kinda nice to be able to leave the room and not worry about what Kayleigh was getting into. Since she's started crawling, I am constantly having to redirect her attention from places she's not supposed to go. Unfortunately, she is pretty determined to have what she wants. She also cut another tooth while we were up there. And yes, she has figured out that teeth are for biting....OUCH!!!! Luckily it's only happened once and I hope it stays that way.

I feel like life is going at warp speed. Kayleigh seems to learn or do something new everyday! I remember when she was born thinking, "It's going to be forever before she's walking." Yet, even now she is holding onto your hands and standing up. She'll even take "steps" if you help her. I am so amazed at how much she has grown! I started keeping a little boy this week. Tre is almost three months old and so little compared to Kayleigh. Five years from now the four month difference between them won't be noticable, but now it seems like light years.
