December 8th: 15 months

Wow, it has been awhile. So much has happened in the past few months. Kylie turned one, started walking, talking, and being a toddler. I am so sad my baby girl is growing so fast, but I am enjoying every fun and yet exhausting minute of it. She has developed such a personality.



Lets take a few steps back to the birthday party though. It was a beautiful day, around 40 - 50 people came, and it was perfect. Kylie missed her evening nap so she was a bit cranky, but everyone was still able to enjoy her, and she seemed to enjoy herself. We had so many people I thought we were about to run out of food. Yikes.....

So, now she is one. What do we do with her now? We have a blast! She is so energetic, and such a good girl. She almost always listens when we tell her no. She started walking at about 14 months and is now a running fool. She says mama, dada, woof woof, ah oh, duck and more. She has her snuggle bunny for bed and will reach her little arms all around her crib until she finds it. She is obsessed with bath crayons and getting her out of the bath is like pulling teeth. Speaking of teeth; she LOVES to brush! We sing a little brushing song and away she goes. She is also obsessed with buckles and putting caps on and taking them off and then crying when they get stuck. She loves chap-stick, and will scream when you take it away. She is starting to tell us when she is going potty, so I guess a new chapter begins. Potty training. I have been setting her on the potty, but I am not pushing it until she can at least pull down her own pants. She tries to pull them up and put on her own socks. She is such a girl. She loves headbands, all kinds of makeup, necklaces, and shoes. She carries everyone's shoes around. Her hair is finally starting to come in!!! It is nice and thick and still as red as can be. She likes to sit on the couch with Billy and I and plays with a toy or eats a snack in between us. Anything electronic is in her hands in seconds. Her newest thing it wanting to be chased. The easiest way to get someone to chase her is by sticking something in her mouth that she knows she shouldn't (like a chap-stick lid). She eats like a champ, but is finicky every now and then. She is a beautiful, healthy, growing toddler. *sobs* I miss my baby already.

August 22nd 11 1/2 months old

Kylie has been teething so badly. I feel so bad for her. She has these terrible tantrums, and wants to be held all the time. Normally, I don't mind the wanting to be held, but she is getting to heavy. My arms are always exhausted and my back has been hurting for the last 3 weeks. She just got in letter L or her Primary Mandibular Left 1st Molar as I just learned today in my first dental hygiene class. She is now working on her Primary Maxillary Left 1st Molar, also known as I. She is a little trooper! She is really wanting to walk now. If you hold her hands she takes off with you. She is so fast. I can't wait for her first real steps. I just hope I am home to see them and not at school.  She is so funny with her crawling. She is a speed racer. When she wants to go she is GONE. When we wake up in the morning she takes off. Family room, bedroom, mom and dad's room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, family room, stand at couch, bang around remote control, whine for a few seconds at table, bedroom, play with turtle toy from Aunt Stephanie and Uncle C.J., try to open dirty diaper bin, kitchen, laugh as Boris kisses face, stands at highchair, poop, whines, bedroom, diaper change. I am tired just from typing it out. I love it though. Nothing makes me happier then to see that little wiggle butt zoom around. She doesn't say anything yet besides Mama, Dada, Baba, and Woof Woof. She mocks the sound we makes and sometimes it almost sounds exactly like what we said, but it is just the tone she is imitating. She blows lots of kisses, and tells you how big she is by smacking herself on the head and smiling. She is in 24 month clothes. Her favorite foods are cottage cheese and noodles, with strawberries. She is also on a yogurt kick. She does enjoy scrambled eggs with cheese, but would prefer cottage cheese with noodles. If you are eating anything whole like a sandwich, or nectarine she MUST have it. She puts down a whole nectarine or plum by herself.  She pets Boris really nice now. Before she would almost rip out his fur, now she  does "pet and pat." He looks at me like he would rather die then have "HER" touch him. I just look at him with the, "I'd rather die then have you give me this face" face. She still loves bath time, and she LOVES shopping. Any kind of shopping. I had to run to walgreens today to get hamburger buns, and as soon as her bottom hit the cart she was kicking her legs and bouncing up and down shouting, "OOOO OOOO OOOOOOO WOOF." Yep the barking, ape like sound is also the, "I am super excited" sound. She is still on bottles, but I have determined that as soon as she runs out of this months supply then we are done. NO MORE BOTTLES.... I hate bottles. I am NOT looking forward to taking them away though. I have been getting ready for her first big birthday bash! I have been pumping out tissue paper pom poms and flowers. We are having an owl pinata, rainbow cupcakes, m&m chocolate chip cookies, and many other goodies. Kylie is going to wear a cute owl shirt, with either bloomers, or a tutu. It all depends on if I have time to make the bloomers. Well, have to go study.

Doctor, doctor, doctor....

Yuck..... Poor baby girl at her doctors appointment. She was devastated. She was so hysterical that we couldn't even get her diaper back on, and in the car she fell asleep and whimpered in her sleep the whole way home. She did take the most amazing nap ever though! She is in the 95th percentile for height, and weight. She is 25.8lbs and 30 inches long. The doctor said she is teething again (yay :(.......), and that her hair is going to be a little curly when it gets longer. We will see. She is a trooper though! After she woke up from that nap she was a happy baby. We took a trip to jewel to get some movies, and then relaxed together. Mama needed that! Auntie Kasie si spending the night with us! Kylie will be so excited to throw mamas homemade pancakes on her first thing in the morning! That's all I've got for today!

My world!!!

There is this little person in my life. She is amazing, beautiful, silly, complicated, but simple, and so sweet! I love her. I don't know what I would do without her. It's funny because everyone always says, "Enjoy school because it flies by." "Enjoy your body while you are young." "Enjoy your pregnancy when you still get sleep." "Enjoy them when they are young because before you know they will be gone." All of it is true. I sit back and watch Kylie, and everyday something new is happening. Some simple, yet new development has come about. Then I find myself wondering what is she going to look like when she is five? Will she still have her gorgeous red hair? Will she have a temper, be independent? Then I catch myself getting upset because I don't want her to grow up. I want her to stay this sweet innocent baby forever. I want to keep her naive to the world. It is so complicated out there. Anyway, let me give an update on how life is going. Kylie is ten months old already. We are getting prepared for her big birthday bash. Hurray! I am so excited! She is talking jibberish (which I melt over), crawling like a fool (which makes me laugh. Watching that tiny butt zoom around is priceless.) She has attitude, and spunk! She wants to feed herself, open and close everything that you can possibly open and close, and she has now declared her independence by roaming into other rooms of the house on her own. So, brave that baby. She is a big, full bodied baby! Every inch of her is beautiful! She has this bunny rattle that is her lovey. She snuggles with it every night, and loves it so much! She nods her head yes and it is the cutest thing. She also rocks and nods to music. When we say Freak she slams her head into her left shoulder. We laugh so hard. She has the biggest smiles, and loves to give kisses, but when she doesn't want to watch out because her hand will swat at your face like it is a fly. So, there she is in a nut shell. My cute little monster.

December, and January

December...
Was hard. My parents divorce was and is challenging. December 18th was a headache but good. Christmas was challenging, and Dec 30th and 31st was exciting and challenging.
So I will start at the beginning. As you know Billy and I lived with his parents. It wasn't as challenging as I thought it was going to be, but I prefer my own house. It was nice to always have people there, and Boris was the happiest lil doggie in the whole wide world. On the 18th we closed on the house. It was way more money then we had expected, but we pulled it together,and may I thank myself for being a huge saver. Now Billy and I are starting from scratch financially which is always super nerve racking, but somehow we will get through it. So, Christmas was a wreck. A BIG Wreck. My parents divorce was and is just pathetic, and I hate it. Enough about Christmas. So, Dec 30th we found out I am pregnant. Exciting right?..... Nerve racking also. Just a little bit. We wanted to tell everyone in person so we had to wait for Billy's family to come home from the cabin. Well, thats when New Years eve fell ontop of us. Evelyn (Billy's mom) had a heart attack. Crazy scary, I know. Billy took off that night with Evelyn's best friend Dee to drive to Hayward. Evelyn is doing good and is home and healthy. So Finally the good ol' month of January. It has been much better in some ways. The pregnancy is going well. I have no clue how far along I am or when I am due, but my first ultrasound will be on Feb 4th. My first doc's visit was yesterday the 27th. You know pap, bloodwork, and urine test. I am vit d deficient thats why my joint hurt so stinkin bad, but that will be taken care of soon! Got to run finish up my math homework. I mean start my math homework, or just pretend.

It's so hard

Life, that is. Sometimes I just lay in bed and stare at the sealing just thinking about what it would be like if I were someone else.

Weekend fun!


Well, the fun and eventful weekend was amazing. I am so glad, because lord knows I needed it. New Moon is amazing, and I cuold watch it over and over and over honeslty. I know excatly what happens in the book, but the movie made me want to read it again. Yes, I saw it twice. Yes, I am lame, but oh my gosh I met Kellen Lutz and stood five feet away from Ashley Greene (whom may I add is stunning, absolutely stunning). I was not able to take a photo with Ashley Greene because the line was to long, and Billy got off work to late. We would have missed the movie if we had attempted. One, of the girls I worked with met us there. She said she loved it. I hope she enjoyed the theater. I felt bad because we did not all get to sit by eachother. Saturday though..... Kellun is the only star I have ever met, and I always say "they are just people." Well, they are. He was so kind, and considerate to everyone. He had a way of making each and every person feel special. To be able to sit there and smile all day to make everyone else happy is a huge challenge. I can't imagine having hundreds of random people constantly screaming, touching, and nearly obsessing over me. So, Thank-you Kellun for showing people that celebrities can be kind. I was so unbelievably nervous it was pathetic. I don't even know why, but when I stood next to him it was like a dream. It was there and then gone. A moment to remember. A moment I can tell my kids about when they read the books. So, to end this lovely weekend Billy Kasie, Danielle, and I went to oberwies to plump our tummys up with some wintery treats. Chicago at its finest! Ice cream in freezing cold weather. Burrrr it's cold in here.
