How freaking adorable is my daughter? I was explaining how Kylie hit me in the face 3 times today to Matthew. She was cuddling with me listening to the conversation...she sits up, turns around, and pats my head saying, "You're okay." She said it clear as day and in a way like, "suck it up mom, you're fine." LOL! I was in tears laughing so hard. That's my girl, right there!

Kylie Paige Griswold brightened up our lives with her arrival May 8th 2010 at 5:47pm, weighing a healthy 7 lb 11 oz. These have been the best 2 years of my life...she and her daddy give my life meaning and I couldn't be more proud to be her mommy. Even when she is walking down the isle on her wedding day, she will always be my baby bug.

Oh, I forgot to post this earlier, Kylie found a bottle of nail polish and took it to her daddy and said, "Toes? Please?" He told her to come ask me...so she did, putting her heal down with toes up and pointing at them, "Toes? Yes? Please?" A-freaking-dorable! So of course we repainted her toes from pink to red.

adorable girl part II

Again with her cuteness. She wanted to take her new puzzle to bed with her but daddy said no, so she gathers all the pieces in her hands and starts walking to her room to go night night...we followed her in and she put all the pieces over the side rail, we put her in she puts them all between her legs and quickly grabs a blanket to cover them so we don't "see/take them away" and then lays down with a big smile saying "ni-night." I gave her a kiss and she kisses me back with a long drawn out muah! She sire knows how to butter me up and let her do what she wants (within reason of course).

a story about an adorable girl

Why does Kylie insist on doing amazingly cute things when mommy's phone is dead. Grandma and grandpa were heading out and Kylie gave kisses (which is rare) then she said bah-bye...they couldn't leave cause she was being so dang cute saying bye over and over, so she gave kisses again and said bye again, they were standing up and grandma was heading for the door but grandpa wasn't so she grabbed his hand and pulled him to the door and then, Im not sure how to give a narrative visual, threw him, by stopping her body but still moving her arm with his hand in hers, to the door saying bye and go. We were hysterically laughing...this is too adorable for words to even describe...I only wish I could have video recorded this. Then daddy went to the door to say good bye and Kylie grabbed his leg, afraid he was leaving too, and said no...then holding him back inside she said bye and go, again, to her grandparents and closed the door swiftly. LOL!!! All I can say is anyone else who would have done all this would have looked so rude, but when Kylie did it, none of us could stop laughing. Everything was so casual to her, but for us, it was beyond words. She has grown so much in the past month, she talks so much better, and is so smart. She loves puzzles and is good at them too. I cant believe I have to plan another birthday party for her already. Less than a month and I will be a proud mother of a beautiful, 2 year old.

Kylie was poking her bubbes in her bath and saying "pop!" Now she is putting her ear to them and listening to them. I don't know what they say but it seems important. When I take her out we say "bye bye bubbles!" If there aren't any bubbles we say bye to her dirty bath water...she is too cute!

Tinkle Tinkle

My big girl just went pee in her potty!!! Proud mommy, right here!

And, she's been engaging in conversation more today...saying so many words clearly. Its wonderful, of course, but making my baby fever much more intense. Time goes to fast...can't waste it away.

continued Beach trip

We stayed till Saturday instead of Friday...that will tell you how wonderful the trip was. The weather was amazing. Avila beach is my favorite place to be. The shopping there is so fun. My favorite shops were Footseas andthe Fudge Factory. Everything was my style there LOL. If only money didn't matter. Kylie chased birds everywhere. Hilarious! We went to Moonstone beach in Cambria and spent the day searching through rocks for moonstone. Not sure if what we found is or not but it was fun anyway. San Luis Obispo Farmers Market is a must at least one time. So fun! We were go go go the whole time so I'm not even going to try to write about everything, but I figured I should write a little. We took pictures and some video but Kylie may one day read these and I know she wont remember her first real trip to the beach. 2 months old is too young to count :).

I was cleaning the car and Kylie crawled into the driver seat...grabs my keys and reaches to put the correct key in the ignition (she couldn't reach), then she holds the wheel with her left hand and shifted the gears a few times saying "vrooom vrooooom" smart little cookie! LOL. Adorable! Lately she just seems so much bigger...everyday, something new and surprising...I just don't know where all the time goes. I'm still having baby fever and trying to convince Matthew that we need to try for another baby now...a losing battle for now :(

Pismo vacation 2012

We are here at Pismo Beach, staying in the Kon Tiki Inn. We arrived Monday, the 27th, and get to stay till Friday. I'm so excited. The first night was rough because Kylie was over tired and it was a new place...so going to bed was a difficult task. Last night was easier but still took time to fall asleep...tonight I think will be cake. Right now she's laying in her bed watching Bubble Guppies on the laptop. She was singing with the show and dancing then saying thank you with so much excitement. I wish I had thought about using the laptop earlier LOL. Bubble Guppies is the newest favorite show...its the only thing that has settled her down. Thank you WiFi!!! LOL. Anyways, we have been non stop so far but having so much fun. Kylie loves playing on the beach. We went shopping today because it was raining...got some good deals. The perks to going to the beach during the off season. Kylie got some adorable sunglasses and she loves wearing them. We went to the Coffee Bean Tea Leaf Shop...best coffee and tea late ever! So, we have had so much fun already and still a few days of fun to go. I love my family!

CHATTER BOX

So there I was, worried Kylie was taking longer than the average to talk more and clearer...but outta nowhere she started. She says thank you all the time. Cutest phrase ever! She's saying all the things she has been but clearly and at appropriate times. She's simply amazing! I wish I could capture every moment on video because time is going by too fast.

...

The picture of Kylie at the restaurant is of her posing...she does three different poses and each is cuter than I can do, and because everytime I show her I say "awe" she does it everytime too. I told you she's amazing! The picture of her wearing the sunglasses was taken at Kmart. She found them laying on a patio table display and put them on herself...and she acted like a movie star! I love cell phones...you can capture moments people couldn't back in the day.


This year, I think we should try for baby griz number 2, because I really dont want more than 3 years apart...I think 2-3 years is perfect.  I was an only child, and it was lonely...I always wanted a sibling so I dont want to make Kylie Bug go through the same thing...she needs a sister *wink* a brother would be fine too, but I would love to have 2 girls. I think the second time around should be easier cause Kylie will want to help so much...and as they grow, they can play together...and fight together...either way...Im not the only one for Kylie to play with...the park will be so much more fun too.  Kylie deserves a sibling...the only thing keeping us from trying right now, is we are working on paying off a few things first. I dread starting all over again...bottles AGAIN...diapers for ANOTHER 2 years...LOL...but its worth it. I love my bug more than anything.


We went to The Home Depot, Kylie gets so stinking excited at that store. Can't say I blame her, 1 its huge and there are lots of shiny things to get into, and 2 its where her mommy and daddy met ;). She has been adorable all day long...more mimicking, more talking, and she plays so much better. Like her mommy, she's slightly compulsive...while playing with her giant legos, I noticed how particular she is about how they go together. She assembles them very strategicly and symmetrical. Adorable. She was talking with her hands flailing all over the place and running all over the house for the longest time today. Matthew and I couldn't handle it...it was so funny and so darling...I just can't believe how much she changes in a matter of hours. She's the most wonderful thing to come into our lives, and one more would complete our family perfectly. Boy, Girl...it doesn't matter as long as its a healthy Griz! We are trying to pay things off (which isn't going as well as could be since we keep doing things to the house *giggle*) but when we are ready we will know...I just hope its this year sometime.

More beautiful, and more intelligent by the minute...



































Kylie is growing like a weed!
She was going through a phase that was difficult to tolerate for a while. Im not going to lie, I think I threatend to sell her a couple times. Lol! However, in her defense, she was teething first, then got a nasty cold that seemed to take weeks to go away, and of course the typical (dreadful) "terrible twos" were thrown into the mix. But, needless to say, she has been feeling much better lately.


Kylie has four of her top front teeth, along with two top moulars, and she has two bottom front teeth and two moulars. Im not sure why her bottom teeth on either side of the very front ones are taking so long to come in, but Im hoping that they will come through soon and that its normal for them to take longer than the top. Either way, she has the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. So perfect, if I do say so myself.


Mimicking...most definately. Kylie repeats sounds and actions like no other. She laughs the same way that I do, and if she is watching a video of herself, she mimicks her very laugh/squeal. Its really cute. She is finally beginning to talk more. Not as clear as I would have expected by this age (20 months) but she is trying, and thats more than worth being proud of. She says: Momma, Dada, done, bye, hi, clock, yeah, no no no, this, that, and phone. She uses her hands to get what she wants...for example, if she wants up, she grabs the air with both hands, if she wants teddy grahams, she takes you by the hand and brings you to the kitchen pointing at the cupboard where they are kept. She dances and sings with the tv, and she skips/gallops/stomps like daddy.


Kylie Bug wasnt eating well for quite a while. It seemed like all I could get her to eat was crap like teddy grahams or cereal. But lately she has been eating a lot better. That makes me happy. I just worry that she isnt getting the protein and veggies she needs. I have been told that its completely normal and all you can do is offer it to them, if they are hungry enough, they will eat whatever you give them, however, she is awfully picky no matter how hungry she is. Still hates mashed potatoes...shes gagged on them since she began baby foods. Poor thing.


We went to the park today...this winter has been more like spring (not that Im complaining) so its been nice enough for park days often. She loves it. She is definately an outdoors kinda girl. I think camping trips are going to be a hit in the future. Next month, we are going on vacation to the beach. The last time we went to Pismo, Kylie was 2Bold months old...so Im super duper excited about this trip. She will be old enough to play in the sand, collect sea shells, and see the seals and sea lions. Simply can not wait.


Christmas was...well...to be honest, it was just okay. She was sick, so she was super cranky which made it minimally enjoyable to say the least. She wasnt as excited about her backyardigans guitar as I expected, and her VW Power Wheels Bug isnt being used a whole lot, which I really thought she wouldnt be able to get enough of it. She rides it for a few and then parks it on the side of the road, gets out, and plays in the fields...of all the things, she would rather play in bushes and with sticks. Lol! Thats kids for ya though...give em a 100 dollar toy and they will fall in love with the box it came in.


Anyway, I cant put into words how adorable Kylie is. She does things that make me smile bigger than my mouth can s t r e t c h. The past week shes nonstop making me laugh with her cute little self. Tonight she kept making me and daddy caress her face softly...she loves it...she sat there as still as could be with her big beautiful eyes staring at us. But since I cant describe it to get the full picture, here are some pictures.
