oops!
I underestimate just how smart my daughter is. I was making a few bows and she was sitting right next to me. She grabbed a pen off the desk and had an envelope already at hand, I looked and noticed the pen was clicked in the closed position so figured, no harm.in letting her pretentious to draw on the envelope. Then I heard a click...little miss smarty pants knows how to click the pen open...but no big deal, she's sitting right by me and she's usually good about drawing on the paper only...nope! Not this time...she drew on her leg. Why I didn't not see this coming is beyond me. This is only one of many examples to show how mommy doesn't realize just how intelligent daughter is. Ha! She is just amazing and such a good girl. I hear so many stories about other babies and I can't help but feel like Kylie is the best kid ever. She's well behaved, smart, gorgeous, and healthy. I'm the luckiest mom. I'm pleased to say that we have done a great job raising her so far. Since 2 months old she has slept in her crib and by 3 months slept thru the night, she's always put herself to sleep and even during the rough nights of teething she wakes up maybe once and it's a quick pop the sizzle in her mouth and she's back to sleep, she has been sick maybe 3 times, she began crawling at 4 months, walking at 10, kicked the bottle successfully and easily at 12 months, and she never stops amazing me with new things.
Of course!
Leave it to my daughter to make a statement or prove me wrong. Yesterday I was talking about how she doesn't say very many words and we even took her sizzle away during the day so she would talk more...sure enough, all morning long she's been repeating things I say. Hi is her favorite. She said up, done, and a few other words. She also threw her dirty diaper away without influence. She's one smart cookie!

18 months
I know I know! Its been forever since I have actually taken time to write about our little bug. The older she gets the less free time I seem to find.
So, Kylie Bug is almost 18 months. Holy crap! She changes daily. Some mornings she wakes up and it's like she learned so many new things over night. She has been talking a little more. She can say I love you, momma, Dada, done, yeah, no, and uh oh. She might be saying other things but they aren't very clear.
We got her ears pierced last weekend. She did pretty well considering she's not a fan of strangers being 4 feet away much less right next to her touching her. She was tired from our long day running around the stores in Bakersfield and the mall...so honestly I was expecting the worst, but she did great and she looks so grown up and beautiful with those little shiny diamonds in her ears.
I bought a potty for her the other day. I don't want it to be overwhelming or frustrating for either of us, so I figured as long as its there for her to be curious about, she can get to know why its there and how to use it. She hasn't really shown much interest in potty training, so I know she's not quite ready, but when she sits on the potty before bath time...she is so proud. Its really quite adorable.
Kylie has the most beautiful smile I have ever seen in my life! With all 7 of her teeth. That's right, at this point she has 2 top molars, 1 eye tooth, her two top and bottom teeth, and she's back at chewing on everything she can to break thru some more. She looks so different with all these teeth.
Books are probably the greatest things in the world to toddlers. She loves pointing at things and making us point at things, and she's so enthusiastic about everything too. Her little barn with animals to fit in the shapes is still one of her favorite toys. She takes the pig and cow and points one at me for me to make the sound, then points the opposite for sound...and this sneek little monster tries to trick me by pointing the same one twice. She can make the cow, sheep, and dog sounds. She knows where her ears, eyes, nose, belly hole, and hair is. When you ask her where's her nose she always puts her finger up it. Oye! Gross. She gives high fives...its more like fifteens though...she slaps your hand 3 times.
How well behaved and smart is my baby bug? Well, yesterday we were at the grocery store, she picked up a box of cereal, when I asked her to out it back she walked back to exactly where she got it and placed it in the empty hole. She almost always does that...she knows it has to go back where it belongs and usually tries to make sure its placed standing upright and facing forward...she's not even 2 and already a little ocd...not that I'm complaining but I don't want her to grow up too fast. Messy is what kids do. She understands nearly everything we say. It amazes me how quickly babies learn.
Backyardigans is still the greatest show ever...between that and Tangled. Needless to say, I'm a lot burnt out. Fortunately we don't want much tv. She's more of an outdoors kinda girl. Now that the weather isn't 112° we can actually play outside.
I have the same complaint I have always had. My "friends" seem to always have an excuse for not being able to go to the park with us. It made me realize how much I want Kylie to have a sibling. I feel like she's deprived of the children socialization she needs and deserves. Playing with mommy isn't so bad but its not at all the same. Sadly, we can not afford another baby and honestly, we don't really want to start over. Its not lack of trying to get parents to bring their kids to the park...knowing they will all either not answer or come back with a reason for not being able to, I still find myself inviting.
Tomorrow we are going to the fair. Last year Kylie was too young to understand what as going on...so I think she will really enjoy it this year.
Well, its breakfast time...so in 6 months I will make it a point to get back on here. LOL. Just kidding...maybe a month? I love being a mommy...I have all her special (and even the not so big) moments programmed in my memory so if I don't have a chance to blog about it, there's really no harm done.
