Sometimes when Kaylee starts "talking" I will do this to her, but she usually only will make the sounds 3-4 times at most, maybe going for about a minute with this "game." Last night my brother Jeff came over and I started doing this, but she kept doing it for at least 5 minutes or so. I said, "this would have been a funny video," and Jeff got the camera. I didn't expect her to keep it up for that much longer, but once he started recording, she went for another 3 minutes! So it's basically the same thing over and over on the video - about 3 minutes long - but it's funny that she didn't get annoyed with it before then.

Oops..."old" video
So this video is from the end of August. Just realized I forgot to post it...so Kaylee was just over 5 months then and not really sitting well on her own at all if she was just on the floor, but she did great on this little bench! She really enjoys this activity center toy!

Laugh, Spit, Eat, Talk, Play...
Kaylee has figured out how to blow raspberries. So I've spent most of the past few days with a layer of spit on me (in addition to the coating of drool that I usually wear). (Who came up with the raspberry phrase anyway? Click here for a funny (& short) slo-mo video.) Kaylee also goes crazy when the "tickle finger" comes to tickle her neck.
The video is two spliced together - I was tickling her then she started spitting, but stopped and started again. To spare you the boring bits, I cut out part...you'll see. (2 min, 18 sec video)

Kaylee's getting better at the eating thing already! We just feed her about a tablespoon of rice cereal before her 2nd and 4th (last) bottles. As you can see, she really opens wide and leans in for the food! I set the camera on the table, hence the weird angle... (3 min video)
Today Kaylee started saying "dadadadada" - I think because she's started spitting and is now figuring out how to use her tongue to do different things and make different sounds. This is her playing peek-a-boo and saying dadadadada... (4 min, 30 sec video)
(Steph - hope you and Ethan have fun watching 3 videos at once!! I just tried it...crazy! haha!)

Yum, Yum!
Kaylee will be 6 months old on the 25th - less than 2 weeks from now! We had decided (based on her pediatrician's recommendation) to hold off on giving her any solid foods until 6 months since the earlier you start babies on solids, the more susceptible they are to allergies. And since both Jamie and I had lots of food (among other) allergies as babies/kids, we didn't want to put Kaylee at any greater risk than necessary. As we'll be feeding her solids so soon, and Jamie has to be out of town pretty much the next two weeks, I think he was afraid that I would start feeding her while he's away (I would have waited for him!), so we went ahead and gave her some rice cereal a couple times today. (We are still holding off on "real" foods - fruits & veggies - until after the doc's appointment on the 26th.)
She was a real champ at eating!! She only ate maybe a teaspoon of it the first go-round, but I don't think she was really hungry (she'd just had a bottle about an hour before). The next time we gave her some just before her bottle, and I think she would have kept eating if we'd let her. We still only gave her about a tablespoon, but she ate it all, and subsequently drank a bit less of her bottle. Here are a couple videos...the first one is Jamie feeding her (it's 5 minutes long, so be prepared!) for her first time eating, and the second is me feeding her when she ate a bit more (shorter video - just recorded the last 2 1/2 minutes of that meal).
(You might notice she has an outfit change in between...only because I was doing laundry and wanted to wash the outfit she'd worn today, so we just put her in a onesie for a few hours before bed.)

Videos
Yesterday we went to see Kaylee's Uncle Robbie (Jamie's brother) & Aunt Brooke and their 2 dogs, Abby & Alex. Kaylee got a kick out of the dogs - could not keep her eyes off them!! (By the way, no, we will not be getting any dogs of our own - Jamie and I are not "dog people" - but Kaylee is free to enjoy others' dogs. :-) )
We got another umbrella stroller for Kaylee (Jamie didn't like the way the other one handled...). I put her in it to go for a walk tonight and she was so excited! She loves strolling around the neighborhood.
