Wow....Jaaten is almost a year old! Time really does fly by..... Happy Father's Day Jaafe! We love you. ;)

Barn & Ramada Progress

Jaaten is standing in her crib in the morning now when we go to get her. I love that! ;) Our house was busy this morning with framers putting the roof on the barn and the ramada. Jaaten sat in her highchair and watched the crane for 30 minutes or so. She was just fascinated!

Walkers, Water Fountains & Cartoons

Jaaten's FAVORITE thing to do these days is to run around the house like a Wild Child in this walker! Our ankles and our cabinets are really taking a beating but it is too cute to see!!

Yesterday morning, Jaaten was really watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse while she ate breakfast. ;) She is just now getting into cartoons a little....

Yesterday afternoon Abbey took Jaaten to the water fountains at San Tan Mall to play. The kids area is shaded so they stayed for quite a while. Jaaten LOVED it!! If you remember from previous posts, I was having the hardest time finding a nanny for Jaaten. There could not have been a more perfect fit for us than Abbey! Jaafe and I are so grateful Abbey loves Jaaten and she takes such great care of her. Thanks, Abbey!

The water fountains stop and go. Jaaten seems a little puzzled there is no water coming out of this one....lol.

And thanks to Aunt Shorty (Kensey, Jaafe's sister) for the cute swimsuit!!!

Bath & Barn

This was Jaaten right after her bath last night. Grammy gave her this super cute Dog Towel. ;) This is the progress on the Ramada and Barn as of 6.1.10. It might be done before summer is over!

She Stands Alone with New Shoes....

Jaaten is getting really good at standing on her own and has even taken a couple steps. ;) We sit out on the grass in the evening after I get home from work. We have light for about an hour after I get home so try to take advantage. Jaaten is holding one of her new shoes too.

Jaaten got these new white sandals too. She can't stop looking at them on her feet. ;)

So remember back in FEBRUARY Jaafe said he was tearing down my pool wall to build a barn???..........well we are JUST NOW getting it done! Here is some of the progress on the barn and the ramada.

Cowboy Boots & Dress Up

Every morning Jaaten rummages around through our closet while I get dressed and always ends up at Daddy's boots. We have to pull down every one before we are satisfied. Aunt Cynthia and the kiddos sent Jaaten this super cute skirt. We wore it to a girlfriend's house the other night and got great reviews!!

When Jaaten was first born I made her a ton of cute onsies while I was on maternity leave. I mostly made them to pass time. Now I've had a little time to make her more cute stuff that are Kellis originals! ;)

Jaafe + No Facial Hair = WHOA!!

WHOOOOOOA! Jaafe decided to shave off his goatee last night!! It is so strange to see him without it!! I already cast my vote to grow it back asap. Jaafe was hoping to get a reaction out of Jaaten but she didn't seem to notice. ;(

All Jaaten wants to do these days his stand "on her own" and walk holding someone's fingers....

Jaafe took a couple pictures of me and The Girl too. ;)
