one and half years old ALREADY

9:59 PM

It's been awhile since I have updated the blog. Probably because Kaylee keeps me so busy that I am exhausted by the end of the night. 18 months she is now officially a toddler. This is such a fun yet challenging age. She is starting to really communicate with us, which could be mistaken as being very demanding. For example the minute we walk in the door she yells "shoes off" or when we are about to go somewhere she brings our shoes to us and says "shoes on." When she wants a piggy back ride she says "tight" because we always tell her to hold on tight. When she wakes up in the morning she tells us Mouse House so we will put on Mickey Mouse club House so she can do the "hot dog" dance. She definitely knows what she wants and what she doesn't want. It seems as if her favorite word is No. She is attempting to count even though it goes something like this "2, 5,6,9." One of my favorites so far is her pulling down my shirt in Noah's bagels and screaming "boobies." She is full of wonder and I feel so blessed that I can watch her explore the world and everything it has to offer.

How do you do that?

5:58 PM

So Kaylee is starting to put words together which blows my mind. How did she become so vocal?And it's amazing how much she really understands. I tell her to pick up her toys and she does it. Yes I know that won't last long but I'll take it for now. Every time I try to catch her talking she becomes camera shy so this is the best I got. One day I asked her "how did you do that" and she repeated it. She also says hockey and points to the ice skates in our garage and says ice skates although it sometimes sounds like ice cream. It's crazy how fast they really do grow up.

It's been awhile

9:37 PM

Well now that Kaylee is 1 she keeps me pretty busy. By the time I get around to wanting to post something I am so tired. She is walking all around and exploring her world. Which means lots of tantrums when I don't let her stick cords in her mouth or put fingers in light sockets (yes I have baby proofed but somehow she still finds the most dangerous things to play with). She is talking up a storm. Some things she just repeats and other things she really understands. Like today when I was boiling water she kept saying "hot, hot, HOT," from her high chair. Even the doctor was impressed with how much she was talking.

On a bit of a scarier note she had to have some blood work done at her last drs. appointment. That was both traumatic for me and her. We still don't have the test results back so I am still walking around a bit nervous. The test were to check her hormone levels at least that is what the dr. told me. But once I got to the lab they took 5 vials of blood from my baby girl. Makes me wonder if they are testing for other things that the dr. didn't mention to me. None the less it is still scary to think something may be wrong with your precious little girl.

She is now 30 inches tall, and weighs 22 pounds 14 oz. Not as chubby as she looks.

10 months

8:53 PM

Wow what a week it's been. Kaylee spent her 10 month birthday throwing up along with her mommy and daddy. We all caught an awful stomach virus and was down for the count. Luckily only lasted a few days because I don't think I could handle much more of seeing my baby sick. It's so heartbreaking watching them throw up and just looking at you like what the H E double hockey sticks is happening to me. She is much better now and back to her good ol happy self.

A week before she turned 10 months she had another baby well check up. She is now 28 inches long and weighed 20 pounds 4 oz. but then after she got sick she went down to 19 pounds 8 oz. She is still very chatty and likes to try to repeat sounds she hears. She can stand on her own but isn't very confident so doesn't do it very often (unless I make her). She loves to explore and observe her surroundings. She also throws tantrums when she doesn't get her way. I think we might have a flipper Jr. on our hands. We need to tame that right away!!!!

She received her very own iphone without the phone part. She now can watch her baby Einsteins and play with technology without harming ours. I know it's crazy that this is what the world has come to. She also likes to sing into her microphone on her new toy that grandma 48 bought her. She may just be the next American Idol... with a little bit of practice and voice lessons.

9 months

9:22 AM

Wow a 9 month old and a new decade! Does it get any more exciting then that? Well Kaylee is growing up so fast and trying to be independent but yet still a mama's girl.

Words she says now: mama, dada, up

ba = ball

bubu= bubbles

da= dog or mushu

T = turtle

and she does a lot of babbling

Sleep: not going to talk about it because I don't want to jinx it.

Things she loves to do: dance, pound on things like they are a drum, play on her activity table, and hang out with daddy.

Things she doesn't like: baby food with chunks in it and getting dressed.

We are starting to plan her 1st birthday (eeek it's only 3 months away) I think we are going to do a bunny theme since it's so close to easter. It will be down South so all our family and friends can come and celebrate with us on making it through the first year of parenthood.

Here are our monthly pictures. It keeps getting harder since she loves to always be on the go!
