What did you have for dinner?

Kelsey had the giggles for dinner! She's actually a very quiet baby, unless I walk out of the room. ;-) (I am sure that my mom would agree, she must be my child.) For some reason this evening, she just got to babbling away. Lots of dadas. I was too late with the camera. But then she just started cracking up for no reason. That is not lipstick on those lips, it is a homemade apple-pear-&- blueberry smoothie! ;-)

Goodbye Silk Carpet...Hello Rubber Mats!

Some major baby-proofing is being done at the Huskey villa. Kelsey was a big help, one step behind Daddy. At 9 months, she is pulling up on anything that will stand still, including Mommy! She loves, or should I say demands, to go for a ride on her Disney princesses car! As you can tell from the newly renovated play area, I totally should be working at Fisher Price. I certainly hope that we bought some stock in them prior to Kelsey's arrival, I think the activity table is the ONLY thing without the Fisher Price logo in our house!

Abu Dhabi Mosque

I thought that this was quite an interesting look into the Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Zayed mosque. Quite impressive. Abu Dhabi is part of the UAE, not far from Qatar, on the other side of Saudi Arabia.

She's Got the Giggles

Kelsey has been laughing for some time how is it possible that I haven't posted a clip yet?

There are many things that make her laugh, here are a few:

• Auntie Vicki's rap, "Boom Shakalaka Boom"
• Cousin Chase's juggling
• Auntie Eleanor's silly face
• Watching Leona eat
• Playing chase with Daddy on the bed (Safety First! ;-))
• Mommy's singing
• Splashing in the tubby

She's Soooo Big!

This just never gets old! We have no clue why she only uses one arm. Notice though, it is her LEFT arm!

We're All Booked Up and Ready To Go!

So we have upcoming trips booked and we are getting very excited to go!

First off, Kelsey and her two very best girl friends will be going to Oman on September 18! These party girls will be chaperoned by their parents! We are so excited to go, while Oman is in the Middle East, it has a different terrain and will be a nice change from Doha. Shangri-La Oman



























This year, we celebrate two special milestones, our 5 year anniversary and Kelsey's 1st birthday! A 10 night stay in Bali will be a perfect way to celebrate both! Bali Club Med



















Of course Kelsey and I will be heading back to the states between the trips. Lots of travels in our future!

For Those Still Wondering...

...Kelsey DEFINITELY takes after me!
