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!(¯'·.¸ ♥ мяs. gяiswoℓ∂ ♥¸.·'¯)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12569370879119368083noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903534891249461104.post-14741423930687452452012-05-08T08:58:00.001-07:002012-05-08T08:58:41.355-07:00<blockquote><p>.<br> <br/> .•°*”˜˜”*°•.¸♪♪¸.•°*”˜˜” *°•. <br> <br/> ╔╗╔╦══╦═╦═╦╗╔╗ <br> <br/> ║╚╝║══║═║═║╚╝║ <br> <br/> ║╔╗║╔╗║╔╣╔╩╗╔╝<br> <br/> ╚╝╚╩╝╚╩╝╚╝═╚╝BIRTHDAY<br> <br/> TO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL<br> <br/> AND WONDERFUL LITTLE<br> <br/> GIRL IN THE ENTIRE WORLD! <br> <br/> .•°*”˜˜”*°•.¸♪♪¸.•°*”˜˜” *°•.<br> <br/> Kylie Paige Griswold brightened up our lives with her arrival May 8th 2010 at 5:47pm, weighing a healthy 7 lb 11 oz.

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. </p><br /> <div style="text-align: center; clear: both; font-size: xx-small;">Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.4</div>(¯'·.¸ ♥ мяs. gяiswoℓ∂ ♥¸.·'¯)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12569370879119368083noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903534891249461104.post-86908789161720266262012-03-21T17:51:00.001-07:002012-03-21T17:51:43.256-07:00<p>Kylie was poking her bubbes in her bath and saying "pop!"

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 <u>a</u>nd 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 :). <br> <br/> </p> <br/> <div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.4</div>(¯'·.¸ ♥ мяs. gяiswoℓ∂ ♥¸.·'¯)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12569370879119368083noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903534891249461104.post-4795953619205268952012-03-04T20:38:00.001-08:002012-03-04T20:38:28.680-08:00<p>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!

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 :(</p> <br/> <div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.4</div>(¯'·.¸ ♥ мяs. gяiswoℓ∂ ♥¸.·'¯)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12569370879119368083noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903534891249461104.post-67960103961363190782012-02-29T19:35:00.001-08:002012-02-29T19:35:57.207-08:00Pismo vacation 2012<p>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!</p> <br/> <div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.4</div>(¯'·.¸ ♥ мяs. gяiswoℓ∂ ♥¸.·'¯)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12569370879119368083noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903534891249461104.post-9937564375976167912012-02-25T11:40:00.001-08:002012-02-25T11:40:03.153-08:00CHATTER BOX<p>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 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. </p> <br/> <p>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.</p> <br/> <p>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. </p> <br/> <div style='clear: both;

I just worry that she isnt getting the <span style="color:#c0c0c0;">protein</span> and <span style="color:#33cc00;">veggies</span> she needs. I have been told that its <span style="font-size:130%;color:#9999ff;">completely normal</span> and all you can do is offer it to them, if they are<span style="color:#ff99ff;"> hungry enough</span>, they will eat whatever you give them, however, she is <strong>awfully picky</strong> no matter how hungry she is. Still <span style="font-size:130%;">hates</span> <em><span style="color:#ffccff;">mashed</span></em> <strong><span style="color:#ffccff;">potatoes</span></strong>...shes <span style="color:#ff9966;"><em><strong>gagged</strong></em></span> on them since she began baby foods. Poor thing.</span> </p><br /><p align="center" style="font-family:French111 BT;font-size:20pt;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">We went to the <span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;">park</span> today...this <em><span style="color:#ccccff;">winter</span></em> has been more like <span style="color:#33cc00;"><strong>spring</strong></span> <span style="color:#999999;">(not that Im complaining)</span> so its been nice enough for <span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;">park days</span> often. She loves it. She is definately an <span style="color:#ffcc66;">outdoors</span> kinda girl. I think <span style="font-size:130%;color:#66cccc;"><em>camping</em></span> trips are going to be a hit in the future. Next month, we are going on <span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#ff9966;">v</span><span style="color:#33cc00;">a</span><span style="color:#9999ff;">c</span><span style="color:#ffcc33;">a</span><span style="color:#ff6666;">t</span><span style="color:#ffff00;">i</span><span style="color:#ff99ff;">o</span><span style="color:#9999ff;">n</span></span> to the beach. The last time we went to <em><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6666;">Pismo</span></em>, Kylie was <strong>2</strong><img class="gl_bold" border="0" alt="Bold" src="http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif" /> months old...so Im <strong><span style="color:#ff9966;">super duper</span></strong> excited about this trip. She will be old enough to play in the<em> sand, collect sea shells, and see the seals and sea lions</em>. Simply can not wait.</span> </p><br /><p align="center" style="font-family:French111 BT;font-size:20pt;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#33cc00;"><em><strong>Chr<span style="color:#ff0000;">ist</span>mas</strong></em></span> was...well...to be <span style="color:#ffcc66;">honest</span>, it was just okay. She was <span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong>sick</strong></span>, so she was super <span style="color:#009900;"><em>cranky</em></span> which made it <span style="font-size:78%;color:#ff6666;"><em>minimally</em></span> enjoyable to say the <span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff9900;">least</span>. She wasnt as excited about her <strong><span style="color:#ff6666;">backyardigans</span></strong> guitar as I expected, and her <span style="color:#ff6666;"><strong>VW Power Wheels Bug</strong></span> 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...<span style="font-size:130%;color:#9999ff;">of all the things</span>, she would rather play in bushes and with sticks. Lol! Thats kids for ya though...give em a <span style="color:#33cc00;"><strong>100</strong> <em>dollar</em></span> toy and they will fall in love with the box it came in. </span><br /></p><br /><p align="center" style="font-family:French111 BT;font-size:20pt;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color:#999999;">Anyway</span>, I cant put into words how <span style="color:#ff9966;"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff9900;">a</span><em>dorable</em> </span>Kylie is. She does things that make me smile <span style="font-size:180%;"><strong>bigger</strong></span> than my mouth can<span style="color:#33cc00;"><em> s t r e t c h</em></span>. The past week shes <span style="color:#cc66cc;">nonstop</span> making me laugh with her <em><span style="color:#ff6666;"><strong>cute</strong> <span style="font-size:78%;">little</span> self</span></em>. Tonight she kept making me and daddy <em>caress</em> her face softly...she <strong><span style="color:#ff99ff;">loves</span></strong> it...she sat there as still as could be with her <span style="font-size:180%;color:#33cc00;">big</span> <span style="color:#ff9966;">beautiful</span> <span style="color:#9999ff;">eyes</span> staring at us.

Dont get me wrong, my daughter is my everything and I adore the hell outta her...but lately (by lately, I mean since the terrible twos</span> kicked in) Im losing my freaking mind. I fee irritable all the time...she seems to do nothing but whine, throw fits, and ignore almost everything I say to her. I miss the days when she listened great, she smiled more than half the time...I miss those fun times...now its counting down the minutes till bed time. That doesnt seem normal...At All! I dont want to feel this way, but its completely involuntary. Thankfully my husband is so helpful and wonderful. As much as I miss the extra money laying around...Im so thrilled to have him home more often. The overtime consumed so much of his time that he couldnt really do anything at home. Now he helps clean, cook, and care for Kylie. Im a very lucky woman/mother...so why do I feel so down in the dumps?

Seriously, this water is amazing and it is throughout our house. Should extend the life of our pipes, water heater, and cooler pads. Expensive, but I think well worth it. We are trying to sell the Explorer and hopefully pay off most of our debt by May. Matthew said that in about a year we can try for another baby. Part of me is saying no more kids, but the majority of me is saying yes, Kylie needs a sibling. So maybe in a year or so we will be expecting baby number 2.

Although Kylie was awfully bratty (hello terrible 2's) we had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We got up to the lake around 10:30, Kylie had a blast with her cousins and the food was delicious. Ky looked out the window and spotted the go-kart LOL so she rode on that with uncle Scott, this daddy, then pa. She sure loves that thing. All day long Kylie was doing things that made me realize she not a baby anymore...she's a little girl...so smart and so big. She didn't eat which bothered me, but you can't make kids eat if they don't want to. The girls were playing the Wii and when we looked over to see what they were doing, Kayla was on her tummy and Kylie was straddling her sitting on her back...it was adorable. No sizzle from bedtime last night till 5am this morning, we went ahead and gave it to her so shed go back to sleep and get good rest for the busy day ahead...she got up at 6:30ish and from then on she hasn't had it...went to bed just fine. I wish I could express in writing all the things she has been doing that are impressive, but even trying to describe everything it doesn't do justice for actually being there. Needless to say, she's growing too fast and everything she does is great...kissing up when she wants something especially. She doesn't always want something when she gives loves but there are times when she does and she goes over board with it...its awesome. Cracks me up everytime. Tonight she gave daddy loves and waved to him good night...moments like that are just too precious for words. She lost a sock earlier this evening and I asked her were it went, she found it and put her naked foot up for me to out the sock back on. When I asked her while she was grunting if she wanted to poop on the potty, she ran in the bathroom and say on her little potty, so I'd say we are ready to begin potty training. Doesn't look like it will be too difficult. The hard part of association is already done...now its just a matter of teaching her to pull her pants down and sit on it before she goes...after letting me know first of course...it may take a while since she still isn't using words much but I'm prepared to have a lot of patience...I know its not something that just comes quickly. I'm definitely looking forward to no.more diapers though ;). She is still in a crib, and I'm not ready for her crib to be open so she can get in and out on her own yet, especially now that we just took sizzle away...she needs to get used to going to bed without it for awhile first then we can start the next drastic change in her bedtime routine. Anyway, thought I'd get all this down before I forget and have to catch up 2 months worth later. LOL.</p> <br/> <div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.1</div>(¯'·.¸ ♥ мяs. gяiswoℓ∂ ♥¸.·'¯)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12569370879119368083noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903534891249461104.post-30395650932647914862011-11-23T20:08:00.001-08:002011-11-23T20:08:44.776-08:00Bye Bye Binkie!<p>Well, tonight is attempt number one without her sizzle. So far so good. I have been trying to break her of this thing for months now and I always find myself giving in with the excuse that daddy has to work early everyday so we can't have her crying keeping him up...I never actually tried I just figured that would be the reaction to being in her crib without it. Well, she's in there and quiet for 5 mins so maybe this wont be as difficult as I imagined.</p> <br/> <p>Today she was doing so many cute things and looking so big doing it. She had her hand in the air dancing in circles, she was blowing on the nozzles to her ball house because she saw daddy blowing it up, she also blows in a tissue because she thinks that's what we are doing to make that sound when blowing our nose, and she pushed her face into the plastic window of her ball house making funny faces. The things that make my day so fun! She talked to gramps on the phone and blew him kisses, that was so sweet. There are so many things I wish I could record but I don't think there would be a time I wasn't recording if I tried LOL. </p> <br/> <div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.1</div>(¯'·.¸ ♥ мяs. gяiswoℓ∂ ♥¸.·'¯)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12569370879119368083noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903534891249461104.post-48455706232112417892011-10-23T20:16:00.001-07:002011-10-23T20:16:05.677-07:00oops!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. <div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.7.4</div>(¯'·.¸ ♥ мяs. gяiswoℓ∂ ♥¸.·'¯)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12569370879119368083noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903534891249461104.post-64995923098640936062011-10-23T10:36:00.001-07:002011-10-23T10:36:45.987-07:00pictures<p><a href='http://lh6.ggpht.com/-aufs2_niX00/TqRQMbWAaBI/AAAAAAAACzE/QpVTwdXjx84/2011-10-22%25252011.47.25.jpg'><img src='http://lh6.ggpht.com/-aufs2_niX00/TqRQMbWAaBI/AAAAAAAACzE/QpVTwdXjx84/s400/2011-10-22%25252011.47.25.jpg' /></a></p><p><a href='http://lh4.ggpht.com/-IHGYMSPzGxE/TqRQRs35IYI/AAAAAAAACzM/OG5NxqrmrQ4/2011-10-21%25252010.15.03.jpg'><img src='http://lh4.ggpht.com/-IHGYMSPzGxE/TqRQRs35IYI/AAAAAAAACzM/OG5NxqrmrQ4/s400/2011-10-21%25252010.15.03.jpg' /></a></p><p><a href='http://lh6.ggpht.com/-jSqMZtphFfw/TqRQVV3wixI/AAAAAAAACzU/rX83knbPv9U/2011-10-21%25252010.43.33.jpg'><img src='http://lh6.ggpht.com/-jSqMZtphFfw/TqRQVV3wixI/AAAAAAAACzU/rX83knbPv9U/s400/2011-10-21%25252010.43.33.jpg' /></a></p><p><a href='http://lh6.ggpht.com/-1aJijD9lcIg/TqRQYrzrSPI/AAAAAAAACzc/KHcXm3zOnk4/2011-10-14%25252008.05.48.jpg'><img src='http://lh6.ggpht.com/-1aJijD9lcIg/TqRQYrzrSPI/AAAAAAAACzc/KHcXm3zOnk4/s400/2011-10-14%25252008.05.48.jpg' /></a></p><p><a href='http://lh6.ggpht.com/-4TikQdvx1sk/TqRQbiDfQMI/AAAAAAAACzk/gdeuRp4w5IQ/2011-10-14%25252008.01.25.jpg'><img src='http://lh6.ggpht.com/-4TikQdvx1sk/TqRQbiDfQMI/AAAAAAAACzk/gdeuRp4w5IQ/s400/2011-10-14%25252008.01.25.jpg' /></a></p><p><a href='http://lh6.ggpht.com/-cacFu2AVcLc/TqRQfSYoTiI/AAAAAAAACzs/eIpkO9YrCX0/2011-10-14%25252007.59.14.jpg'><img src='http://lh6.ggpht.com/-cacFu2AVcLc/TqRQfSYoTiI/AAAAAAAACzs/eIpkO9YrCX0/s400/2011-10-14%25252007.59.14.jpg' /></a></p><p><a href='http://lh3.ggpht.com/-NEvrq0MAT7Q/TqRQjVmhTJI/AAAAAAAACz0/ZpfUetxxVE8/2011-10-05%25252011.24.32.jpg'><img src='http://lh3.ggpht.com/-NEvrq0MAT7Q/TqRQjVmhTJI/AAAAAAAACz0/ZpfUetxxVE8/s400/2011-10-05%25252011.24.32.jpg' /></a></p><p><a href='http://lh5.ggpht.com/-I8PCG2ON1FI/TqRQnrlyH7I/AAAAAAAACz8/cmKMhS8ybgo/2011-10-05%25252009.10.48.jpg'><img src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/-I8PCG2ON1FI/TqRQnrlyH7I/AAAAAAAACz8/cmKMhS8ybgo/s400/2011-10-05%25252009.10.48.jpg' /></a></p><div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.7.4</div>(¯'·.¸ ♥ мяs. gяiswoℓ∂ ♥¸.·'¯)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12569370879119368083noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903534891249461104.post-71646729174907523472011-10-23T10:31:00.001-07:002011-10-23T10:31:19.759-07:00Of 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!<div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.7.4</div>(¯'·.¸ ♥ мяs. gяiswoℓ∂ ♥¸.·'¯)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12569370879119368083noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903534891249461104.post-9524389236100768002011-10-22T08:40:00.001-07:002011-10-22T08:40:55.099-07:0018 monthsI 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. <br/> <br/> 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. <br/> <br/> 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. <br/> <br/> 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. <br/> <br/> 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. <br/> <br/> 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. <br/> <br/> 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. <br/> <br/> 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. <br/> <br/> 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. <br/> <br/> 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. <br/> <br/> 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. <div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.7.4</div>(¯'·.¸ ♥ мяs. gяiswoℓ∂ ♥¸.·'¯)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12569370879119368083noreply@blogger.com0
