Big Girl!!!

Swimming with Daddy & my friend Olivia!

Reading, Reading, Reading!!!

Happy Girl! :)

Shortly after the last post, Kayleigh took off walking (on her own). Now, she is walking everywhere and is into everything! She is getting pretty fast and is almost running. I guess everyone was right- she would do it when she was ready. Kayleigh is also heading toward another milestone:potty-training. Her Nana (my mom) bought her a princess potty and she loves sitting on it and reading her books. So far, she has gone #2 twice! She really could care less, she just wants to read!!!

Easter 2009

At the Zoo

2 Dresses for 2 Easters!!!

Coloring Eggs

Well,
As usual, we had 2 Easter Celebrations!!! We had breakfast with Stephen's family, headed home for a very short nap, and headed off to my family for lunch! It's nice that we are able to visit with both sides, even though it makes for a busy day. Kayleigh had 2 cute dresses to wear, one for each event (thanks to her Nana)!!!

We also took Kayleigh to the zoo for the first time. She knows some animals from her books and toys, but was more interested in the kids running around. We bought a family pass, so we will go several times throughout the year.

Kayleigh saw an orthopedic specialist about her legs (her feet were turning WAY out when she was cruising) and he said everything was fine and she should be walking perfectly very soon. She always had her legs folded when I was pregnant and her muscles/tendons formed a little differently...but no big deal. She has taken many steps on her own, but flinches and lacks confidence (and balance). I am sure that once she figures it out, she will take off RUNNING!!! What a character!!!

First Haircut

First Haircut!!!

Snuggle Bug

Kayleigh had her first haircut in January. It was nothing fancy, just a trim- her bangs were in her eyes. She sat very still and didn't even really seem to notice! Kayleigh still is not walking on her own; hopefully she will before preschool!!! She is very cautious and won't even try to stand or walk by herself! However, she spends most of her day standing (holding on to something), cruising, and playing with her toys. So, we will wait patiently and hope she gains the confidence...SOON!!!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

2 adorable dresses for 2 BIG celebrations!!!

David dressed up as Santa for the kids

Cruising Princess!!!

Well,

Christmas has come and gone and another year is here! We had 3 wonderful Christmas celebrations- Christmas Eve with Karyn's extended family (about 30 people), Christmas morning with her family, and Christmas night with Stephen's family. We were very busy, but also very blessed to have so many people to celebrate with! Kayleigh did pretty good, but is in a serious "Mommy" phase. She whines and cries and pulls on Mommy's pant legs until she is picked up- it's so much fun!!! She is a good girl, but a "Daddy" phase is welcome anytime! Her molars are coming in and that has caused quite a bit of discomfort and fussing :(

She is still not walking alone yet, but is cruising like crazy- any day now!

We hope that 2009 is a great year for everyone!
