This post is basically a bunch of random things that I have been wanting to tell everyone. Enjoy
With my new stay at home mom status I have been concerned/massively stressed about Kaylie's development. She has learned so much at daycare and gained a lot of her ability to enteract with others there and has gained increasing control of her motor skills as well as her ability to process new information.
Thankfully, I have been pleasantly surprised at the increase in her speech. She went from knowing 40 words while only speaking 10 to 15 of them to saying 2 to 3 word phrases using words we had no clue she even knew. If someone else was listening they would still think she was talking jibberish but being her mommy and daddy we can pick it up. Occasionally it may take her 10 times before we figure it out but once we do we are totally shocked.
Here are some of the things she has said...
* more bites
* my turn
* get ball
* see ya
* mommy's shirt
* daddy walk
* thank you
* daddy sit
* she can say all of her numbers (will repeat what we said)
Other things...
* She has started singing songs she hears on the tv or the radio. She only knows certain emphasized parts but once she hears it she will repeat it immediately. She will also try to do the hand movements even though they look nothing like what the tv is doing. Gotta love it! I am thrilled she is attempting it.
* I am trying to hold off on potty training until summer is over. The only problem is she comes running over screaming, grabbing, and pointing about going to the bathroom even though she has already gone. She does not care where we are or who we are with (not that I expect her too). Once she even pointed and started to discuss it with me. I am not ready for this stage!
* She is on the verge of figuring out how to use her feet to climb up things. Her arms are ridiculously strong and she is starting to try to pull up and us her feet to climb up. I pray she stays in her crib for at least another month or two. I am not ready for her to be in a big girl bed.
* When it is time to go to bed and she does not want to she will get on the couch and say, "I sit, I sit."
* She will grab your and and drag you where she wants you to go. Since we are curious as to where she is taking us we humor her.
I love this picture. Doesn't it look like they are about to kiss?!? 
Her walrus face. I will be interested to see if she is working on her two year molars. She has started putting things in her mouth again.
The other day we went outside to play. When we do this I go ahead and water the plants using the pool water. After the first time I did this she decided it was her turn.
At one point she decided to hold off on watering the plants to take a drink of her own. It slightly grossed me out!
I took this picture of Kaylie and Kalie yesterday at the Wiggly Play Center. They had both come down the slide and Kalie fell to the floor. Kaylie thought it was funny so she joined her laughing. I realized this picture was similar to some of the ones we took when they were just a few months old. It is crazy how fast time flies.
