Catch Up

Big news…I’m done with school :) My final was last Monday, which I rocked out with a 96.47%....yeeeaaahhh. I graduate this Sunday.

It still doesn’t feel real but I’m starting to have this feeling….what’s it called…boredom? No worries though, I will adjust in no time with many other things to do. I have a list of things I want to get done (a sort of “honey do” list I made for myself).

While I wrote most of this blog post last week, I have figured out that boredom isn’t the right word. I was almost lost for a few days. I didn’t know what to do when the days came that I usually had homework due. I fiddled around the house a lot with Josh asking me “what are you doing?” like I was crazy or something. I did a lot of things on my “honey do” list (although it doesn’t seem any shorter, lol). I have kept myself so busy that I forgot I had already typed most of this up to post it. So here it is….this is what’s up with us nowadays.

First off, I can’t wait for spring to come. I am looking forward to going to the park, going to the zoo and playing outside with Kaylee this year. She is so much fun inside that I can’t wait to see what she does outside. When we had the really warm weather a couple of weeks ago, Josh and I took her to the park. It was so much fun. Let me tell you, I have a fearless child. She heads for the giant slides at the park and wants nothing to do with those tiny baby slides. She wants to do everything all by herself and if you would let her, she would try to slide down the big slide head first. She loves to swing and run and play. I just can’t tell you how much fun she is.

Perfect example, we have this little tid bit saved on the DVR of “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”. She LOVES this song. Her face lights up when it’s on and she dances and sings along with it. She puts her hands on her hips and does this little sassy walk that is just so funny.

Our girl has quite the imagination. The kitchen we bought her for Christmas is one of her favorites, but this past week we bought her this little baby set from Target that has a baby crib, bouncer, carrier, changing table, high chair and wearable carrier (all for 20 bucks!), gotta love Target. She also has bottles, bibs and diapers for the baby and loves to change her, feed her, burp her (which is freakin’ cute because she makes a burp noise for the baby) and carries her all around the house with her. At least I know she’ll be helpful when we have another baby, lol.

Interesting things…

  • Kaylee is almost to the point she can climb out of her crib. One day, she’ll figure out that she is tall enough to actually do it :)
  • Kaylee enjoys chores. Not that we really have chores for her (besides cleaning up her toys). But she loves to help with laundry, feed the dogs, loading and unloading the dishwasher, vacuuming, etc.
  • Kaylee can count to ten and knows about 5 letters in her first name and 3-4 in her middle name.
  • She loves to say “oh man!”…she drops something, it’s
    “oh man!” she misses something, it’s “oh man!” It’s just too funny.
  • I can’t wait for the zoo…she loves “aminamals” <------ Kaylee’s word :) She knows giraffes, lions, tigers, bears, pandas, penguin, elephants, rabbits, monkeys, horses, and many, many more.
  • She does really well with her colors. She knows white, black, brown, pink, purple, green, blue, orange, red, and yellow.
  • She loves to wear hats and carries her purse (or whatever bag she can find) everywhere.

I could pretty much talk all day if you let me just telling you about every little cute thing Kaylee does. I just love this stage….I’ve loved every stage :)

On with the pictures and videos (hopefully they will work!)

ENJOY…
