Kylie getting bigger

In case you were wondering how Kylie was getting along, I thought I'd give you a little update.

She is just amazing. Everyone loves her to pieces. She is just so entertaining!

She wakes up with Karl a little before 7am everyday. She likes to watch Sponge Bob or Dora while she has a cup of water or juice and a banana to wake up. I crawl out of bed awhile later and we have our cheerios together. She like Honey Nut Cheerios the best and can feed them to herself. She ditched her highchair a few months ago when she learned how to take off the seat belt and kept trying to climb down.

By 8am or so she wants to go outside. She likes to open the door by herself and says hi and bye at least 10 times before she runs and plays with her toys. She loves to go and say hello to the neighbors dogs and then play in the dirt with her shovel and pail. She really likes it when I chase her out of the house because she is dirty.

She loves to go in the shower with me and stand under the water. She loves to place the soap bottles in certain places and play with the bubbles. Every time we get her out of the bath she HAS to run naked through the house and waits for someone to chase her. When we scope her up in her towel she says "Got you!" Melts us every time...

Then she is ready for snack. She loves yogurt and has to have Natalie's kind before her own. I let her have as much as she wants since she STILL won't drink milk. Then she takes her crackers or pretzels and checks out what everyone else is doing. Mainly to go and see Karl in his office and see if she can get on his lap or into his electronics. Kylie and Natalie play very well together. They like to chase each other around the house and play with the pretend food and dishes.

Kylie is very picky when it comes to food. She doesn't like to eat any solid vegetables, breads, or pasta. Though she will eat bread if it has been toasted. She still will eat baby vegetables and loves baby meat. So gross! Of course she will eat almost any solid fruit but we continue to work on getting her to eat more solid foods with us.

She usually takes a nap right after lunch and will sleep for 2 to 3 hours. She has a favorite blanket and stuffed animal that she likes to have in bed with her. She likes it when we sing "Twinkle Little Star", "The Isty Bisty Spider", and "Hush Little Baby".

When she wakes up, she is usually pretty cranky. I let her have another cup of juice and another snack as soon as possible. Then she is ready to play again. She absolutely loves to climb on things. In the living room she likes to climb up on the couch and then on the half wall and tries to walk on it! She likes to carry her babies around but can't resist a puppy or kitty cat. She talks all the time and can say most words we ask her too and puts multiple words together. She still does a lot of baby babble when she is looking outside and telling us about her toys.

While I make dinner, she gets time to wrestle and play with Dad. On the days I go to school, Stephen watches her and they have a blast together. She definitely has a sweet tooth so we have to hide goodies from her or she will scream her head off. As sweet and cute as she is, when she wants something, she wants it now!

She is so smart and agile, we are amazed at the possibilities for her future. She really completes our family.
