Busy Little Girl

Krysten has been a very busy girl the last few weeks. First she had her 6-month check-up with the Pediatrician on August 26th, to which we were told she is just perfect (of course, we already knew that). Her new stats are 17 pounds 14 ounces (90th percentile) and 26 inches long (50th percentile). She received 4 more vaccinations this time, which she took like a champ and also got the green light to start eating fruits and vegetables (we'll get more into that on a separate post). Here was Krysten having some fun with Dave before seeing the doctor.

Then last weekend was jam packed with activity. On Saturday we drove to Lafayette, IN with my family to celebrate my Aunt Dar's 60th birthday. Krysten finally was able to meet her cousing Betsy ...

... and also cousin Sarah ...

... and of course, posed with for a picture with the birthday girl!

Aunt Dar didn't waste any time trying out the gift she received from her family ... a shiny new bike!

The following Monday was Labor Day and we decided it would be fun to take Krysten to her first hometown parade where Grandpa bought Krysten her first balloon.

A bit later Krysten expressed her displeasure that it was taking so long for the parade to start.

Later in the day she spent some time hanging out with Uncle Brian, Aunt Liz, and Uncle Brad and Nana & Papa's BBQ.

Today brought yet another event ... the annual Roge-Traubach Family Reunion. This is a reunion for my Dad's side of the family, more specifically my Grandma Lily's side. Auntie Evie, my Grandma's sister, was very happy to meet Krysten and told us how excited she is about her first great-grandchild who is expected in December.


Uncle Dave was there and brought his newly resotred hot rod (a Chevelle or a Camaro I think). Here is my Dad with his brother and sister.


Krysten gave Uncle Dave an intent stare at first, but then decided that she likes him.

And already our little girl is showing some incredible fashion sense as she models Aunt Mary's Coach sunglasses.
