Kylie finally drank.from her sippy cup today. Daddy got her to do it. And she is so smart with shapes. She has this barn with animal on different shaped blocks, she puts the square and circle in the right spots. She like lining all of them up on a table or her dinosaur, then knock them all down. She gets so excites and proud She claps and says yay! Lol

Little Miss Independent

My daughter is so independent now...where did my tiny little baby go? She didn't want me to take her to her room for bed time, she wanted to walk...so I followed her as she walked, sizzle in mouth and blanket in hand to her crib. She's adorable and growing so fast.

Wanna know what drives me nuts?

Where to start. Well, I can't post this on Facebook for fear a riot will break out...babie/toddlers should at not time be allowed to play with your cell phone, computer, remotes, or anything else that isn't meant for babies. Kylie knows she is not to play with any of those items nor the TV, dishwasher, stove, or inside the fridge. Call me stricked but she has no need for touching those things, she has plenty of her own toys. If you're electronic devices stopped working because of baby drool, you have no one to blame but yourself! Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.
Another thing that drives me crazy, my daughter chewing up food, spitting it out, playing with it, then putting it back in her mouth. Yuck! Makes me gag everytime. She has also gotten into this wonderful habit of dropping (intentionally) her food on the floor. Stinker looks right at me when she does it...just waiting to be told to stop it. LOL. All in all, she's pretty smart, sweet, and very well behaved for a one year old. I loves her!

new foods

They say to wait on peanut butter and hot dogs and such but...Kylie tried some peanut butter yesterday, I dipped her goldfish in it and she's not allergic and loved it. She has been eating hot dogs...if only she would keep her greasy fingers out of her hair *wink*. She pretty much eats what we eat...picky at times but not too bad.

Kylies First Birthday

Where should I begin? I was a wreck the week of her birthday. Felt like nothing would be ready in time. The night before I got everything cleaned and baked. Attempt #1 on Kylies cake...forgot to spray the Giant Cupcake pan, so I threw that away and started over, bummed because it was going to be chocolate top and vanilla bottom, but attempt #2 I remembered to grease the pan but when I took it out of the oven, it still stuck inside the pan. I was emotional, frustrated, and tired, I said screw it, and went to bed leaving the cake to cool in the pan. That morning I got it out but it was damaged...#3 the bottom was damaged so bad there was no repairing it, but the top looked great. We ended up only using the top so her cake looked nothing like a cupcake. Bummed and embarrassed, I did not take pictures of it. The little cupcakes were okay though. My best friend Samantha came over early to help decorate, she was a party saver...without her I don't think my sanity would have been held in place. The decorations looked great, the food delish, and our guests all came except Matt's grandparents, which is completely understandable. Kylie went down around noon which is later than usual. Her naps have been about 1 1/2 hours long so I figured okay she will be a half hour late yo her party...nope, the one day I need her to take a short nap she sleeps hard for 2 hours and we had to wake her. She was definitely shocked by all the people in the living room, but she warmed up and we began with gifts. She was so excited about them, she carried them around to show everyone, she even seemed to be reading the cards. It took a while but we finally finished presents and went straight for cake...she wasn't as messy as I expected, and didn't seem to love it. LOL. She got some really great gifts. Clothes (which was much needed), kitchen, play food, tea set, Magnedoodle, leapfrog farm animal learning for the fridge, and lots of awesome books. After everyone left Kylie seemed over stimulated and ready for bed again, but she ended up staying up playing with grandpa and uncle Corey till about 9pm. Needless to say, I'm glad its.over. Not everything worked.out as I had planned, but its.okay, it wasn't about all that, it was all about Kylie bug! My baby is already one. No matter how old she gets, she will always be my baby girl.

Falling behind...again...

Says done, ball, momma, Dada, up, bye, and a bunch of gibberish I can't understand LOL.
She has been eating more table foods: Turkey and Cheese (holy messy! Bath time always follows her eating Turkey and cheese) pork, roast, chicken, she hates mashed potatoes...there are actually a lot of things she is picky about...hope veggies aren't going to be a problem with her. She has had pancakes, tacos, and crackers like Graham crackers and Gold Fish. We are working with her on the Sippy cup but no success so far. Haven't tried milk yet, hopefully she can handle regular 2% milk...she's been on soy formula this whole time.
I noticed how tall she has gotten the other day. She used to barely be able to peek over the arm of the couch, now, not a problem.
Happy most of the time, but I think she is hitting a phase if tantrums and ridiculous wining. I can't clean, make dinner, or make bows without her freaking out. She prefers I sit on the floor rather than the couch. I am beginning to think she's a spoiled little thing...but in time, she will get over the neediness of mommy and want nothing to do with me, so honestly, even at its most annoying times, I'm enjoying it while it lasts.
Her birthday is on Mothers Day this year, definitely a Happy one for me. Im so proud. Can't believe she's already one. I have so much to do still before her party Saturday, but I'm sure everything will work out.
Pictures and story to cone after her birthday party.
