End of Summer

Kayla came home to CB for our last few weeks of the summer. We put her to work with all of our house projects, but mostly she was on Rosie duty. 
Hanging out on Kayla's lap, she likes to steal phones.
She has the best cheeks, like little dinner rolls. I just want to eat them!
Rosie loves Kayla. Maybe it's the fact that we look similar, but Rosie has always had a special place in her heart for Kayla. Most people she needs a few minutes to warm up to but she gives Kayla, instant smiles. 
We spent a week in Colorado for the Tony Beck Reunion. It was fun having Rosie be with all her cousins. She just mostly just sat and stared at all of the chaos from the Beck clan. It was cute seeing Alex again, these two are just 6 weeks apart! 
 We had a Best Beck competition which entailed Just Dance, Speed, and Foosball. So all week long we were practicing and competing. 
 Rosie watching all the cousins dancing. 
Hiking in the Colorado mountains! Rosie even fell asleep in the baby carrier which NEVER happens!
Four square was the game of the reunion, everyone got really in to it. 
It's not a Beck reunion without family pictures!

After the reunion, we finally moved into our new place in Kansas City! We live in a 3 story townhome surrounded by LDS medical students. WE LOVE IT HERE!! The first night in our new place we learned just how important Rosie's sleep setting is. Normally we have a sound machine and blackout shades to put her sleep. Well, we forgot those two things in Iowa and it was the longest night ever. Poor girl would NOT sleep! It was awful. But now we know that the sound machine and her will be connected at the hip for life!
It was so fun buying Rosie a high chair AND her very own crib (FINALLY!) Also, IKEA is only 15 minutes away and we've already gone twice since living here. This is very dangerous...

Rosie can finally sit in the cart while we shop, I've been waiting for this day since she was born! She's the best shopping buddy.

One of my favorite things about our place is the park in our backyard. This was Rosie's first time on a swing. She was scared at first and then started being okay with it. She definitely didn't love it but I'm sure that will come.
We love Kansas City, there is so much to do and see! We spent one Saturday at the Nelson-Atkins museum with some friends.

Rosie is super alert. She has to always know what's happening around her. She was climbing over dad but had to look over to see what mom was doing!
