Yup, found out today our offer was accepted. We put it in yesterday and today we were told that we needed to out in our best and final...we stayed the same with our original offer and just a few minutes ago discovered it was accepted. Yay! Every year seems more and more magical with my husband. I am so lucky to be the girl that he picked, and experience these moments with him. He is so amazing and we are so fortunate to have what we have together. Its rare to find a true love like ours...those who have it know exactly what Im talking about. Heres to us! *Cheers*

Little talking dare devil...
Well, Kylie discovered shanding on things...shoes, toys like her little barn aaaannnddd her dinosaur. Yup, crazy kid, she stands on it without holding on the handles, bounces, and talks away. It gives mommy high blood pressure, but I have to admit, its cute and impressive. Who knew this clumsy baby girl can stumble over her own two feet while walking but balances on that dinosaur on wheels like it's no big thing. Ha!
We went to her check up and she had to get shots...poor thing. But while we waited I let her play with my wallet, I kept saying things like money, are you playing with mommy's wallet...then she said wallet! Only once but I heard it :) Dr said Kylie is in the 50th percentile for both weight and height. She's about 22 lbs and I can't remember the lenght at the top of my head, but she sure is getting tall.
Today, I was holding her and she started telling me some exciting story, although I was listening and saying "oh yeah?" I wasn't looking at her so she leaned in my line of vision so that she had my full attention while telling me her story. Adorable! I wish I could write down every little thing she does, or video tape all the cute and fun moments. LOL.

Not so little anymore girl...
I have tossed the bottles...well, except before bed, daddy feels its best to keep at least that one...I'm all for cold turkey though. Why tease her thinking she can still drink out of a baba if she can't at every milk meal? But today is day 3. Day 1 she wouldn't drink out of the sippy if there was milk in it, water or juice she loved, but as soon as she tried it with milk, the meltdown began. Like her whole world came tumbling down LOL. But that afternoon daddy tried and she took it like it was no big deal. I knew once she realized it was the sippy or nothing she'd give in. Yesterday and today, no problems. For about 2 days, the beginning of this week, she wouldn't nap. She wasn't cranky but I don't know what it is about nap times, mommy needs them. I was exhausted. She loves walking around wearing mommy's sandals. Its adorable. She is getting so tall so fast...needless to say, we can't keep anything on the end tables LOL. She points at everything, especially when you say "bird" or "look", puts her hands up when she can't find something or "I say where did it go?" My mother in law thinks she's gifted. I don't think she's gifted, but things definitely come easy to her. I fear she picked up some of my compulsive behavior, however. She is very particular as to what goes where. She stacks her blocks in ABC order, she puts the animals in the right shape holes, and nothing can be upside down when she lines toys up on a flat surface. If something is wrong, it all gets thrown to the floor and she's starts over. Its amusing to watch...I don't know where she picks these things up. Anyways, that's the update for her so far.
So I was reading a status on Facebook. A friend of mine lets her 8 month old sleep in mommy and daddys bed, even during naptime. Apparently she fell on the hardwood floors because she's now mobile and had to be taken to the er (baby is fine, no concussion)...not to be one of those people who feel the need to tell people how to raise or care for their child, but I truly disagree with babies/kids sleeping in bed with mommy and daddy. Kylie has slept in her crib since 2 months of age. This person also posted that she will try to get her baby to nap in her crib but she will still sleep in her bed during the night till 2 yrs old. What!?!?! I have to vent about this because I really feel its ridiculous how much people coddle their children. I will admit, certain things I'm a little over protective about, but for the most part, I let Kylie learn things on her own. No, I won't let her crawl in a hot oven to discover it will burn you, but she's going to fall down, that's how they learn to get back up...and at some point or another babies have to sleep on their own....in their own bed. Coddling for so long only creates bad habits that are going to be hard to break. I have heard so many people say they regret waiting so long to do certain things. Like I said, I wont tell people how to be a parent, but I most certainly have my opinions. I'm not perfect, and people disagree with my ways too, they have no problems saying so, but although I discipline my one year old, she is so well behaved. She doesn't touch things she's not supposed to, if she does all I have to do is say no or don't touch and she's leaves it alone. The cupboards are not all locked, only the ones under the sink where cleaners are, but when I say close it, she does just that. I began saying no from the moment she was mobile because I feel if you start young it will be easier as they grow older. She does NOT play with remotes, keys, cell phones, or the TV. She has plenty of toys, she doesn't need to mess with our electronics. One, they aren't for babies, and two, they are expensive...my butt is not an ATM. Those reading this, agree or agree to disagree if you must, its my opinion, and this is my blog to express it. My daughter is beautiful, so smart, and so sweet. She plays well with others as well as by herself. I'd say my husband and I are doing a great job.
