Mmm..Pizza Night!

October 12th

I took this short video on our way to my mom's for a small birthday dinner. Kaylee must have known it was a special day for her because she was so happy and singing the whole drive there!

Kaylee Is Two!!!

Last monday Miss Kaylee turned two years old!!! Since my mom was in the hospital for a bit we decided to have a very low-key birthday dinner and cake at their house. Grandpa John bought her a small piano that is a huge hit with Kaylee. I wake up (as I'm sure my poor neighbors do too) to Kaylee pounding away on it and singing at the top of her lungs!!

I also bought Kaylee a new doll with a small stroller. This is now Kaylee's main priority! She calls her "baby cake" and insists on taking her out for a walk everyday. Brian will now load Kaylee in her stroller and bring along her "baby cake" and stroller and once they get to the wharf Kaylee gets out and pushes her baby up and down the wharf. I heard Kaylee singing in the hall the other day and when I looked she was pacing and singing her doll to sleep like we do with her. Very sweet. My mom said this is a great thing to do before baby Ana arrives.

Reaching The Two's

We are definately reaching the two's with Miss Kaylee. We are dealing with some extreme tantrums and she is very independant. If she wants to do something or go somewhere-she will. But as trying as these times are with her we are also seeing some amazing changes and things she is learning and doing. Everytime I update her blog I have new words she is saying and her vocabulary grows more every day. She is also doing great with counting still. Some of her favorite things now are dancing and singing. We watched "Momma Mia" yesterday which has been one of her favorite movies for awhile. Usually she will only stay interested in a movie or t.v. show for a few minutes which is fine with us because we want her to be a kid that enjoys being outside and active. But "Momma Mia" she will actually sit through the entire movie and at every song she will stand up and dance through the whole thing. Yesterday after it was over she spent all afternoon singing to herself. Pretty sweet!!! Since her 2nd birthday is coming next month we plan to get her a bike. We had assumed we had a little bit before she was ready for that but she surprised us all when she jumped on a tricycle and rode it down the sidewalk with no problem. I can't wait to get a video fo that for her blog! She is also is being very helpful. When I put clothes away she will put her clothes in her dresser. (ofcourse not folded though). Now when I do dishes she will grab a stool and stand next to me and rinse them. And now she wants to hold the vacuum and do that for me as well. I know once Ana is born she will be a great help. At least that is what I want her to think!

Mommy's Little Helper

Kaylee usually gets scared when the vacuum starts up. I will have to hold her in one arm and vacuum with the other. Which is getting very hard to do while pregnant. But yesterday she surprised me and not only didn't want to be held but wanted to vacuum herself.

Kay's "Pet Feesh"

I tied a stuffed fish to a string. And now Kaylee will pull it and run around saying "C'mon feesh". This poor fish is filthy now from going through bushes and dirt. It's helped us realize thank god we don't have a puppy because Kaylee would be dragging the poor thing everywhere!

September 9th

Kaylee got a toy bat today and Brian took her to the Wharf with it. What actually cracks me up the most is when she gets up and just walks away. It's a good look at how independent she now is! She does what she wants!!
