15 months

I know I missed the 14 months post due to moving and all the other stuff that was happening around us so sorry Kaylee. I won't miss any in the future, I promise :o).

So, 15 months... Kaylee is skipping her check-up (well not really skipping it, it's just postponed till August) because when we did her vaccinations in Washington last summer, they didn't put it in the same vaccination record book so when we came back to Utah, she got some of those shots again...I know. It wasn't nice of me to let that happened and I felt HORRIBLE about myself trust me. So her doctor said that it's ok to wait until August with this check-up and I will do just that. I will have her stats then so I'll share those later. And other that that, Kaylee is still happy, FULL of energy and I think she is a better eater too. Still a little picky but she does eat more. (no fruit or vegetables of course..that little stinker). She has been wearing 18 month size clothes since she was 12 months old and that still didn't change, although I do get some of her dresses size 24 months. Shoe size: 5 or 5 1/2. She also talks all day long, but most of it is Japanese :o).
I'm very very proud of her for falling asleep without making the tiniest noise when put into her crib wide awake every day for nap and at bed time. I never ever let her cry it out when she was younger (I know some of you think I'm a bad mom, but I don't care. My baby wanted me and I wanted to be there) so I thought she would never learn how to fall asleep all by herself but she just one day did it, so I kept putting her down every time she had to go to sleep and it has been working for quite some time now and I love it! It makes my life sooooo much easier! Thank you sweet Kaylee. She still takes only one nap a day, but she does sleep a bit longer that she use to, which I also like ;o).
Kaylee always loved making a huge mess and that one she still enjoys. I have lip stick, blush and shower gel marks all over the carpet, mine and her clothes are always pulled down from the hangers, ice cubes from the freezer are melting on the kitchen and living room floor, forks, spoons and spatulas are taken out of the dishwasher and left on the floor all over the house. Cans and other food items somehow travel from the pantry to our bedroom and the bathroom gets flooded every now and then when the water in the tub miraculously turns on by itself and switches to the shower mode while the curtain is wide open.... Yes, I have my hands full with little miss Kaylee. But it's so much fun to be with her all day. She also loves the pool. She jumps in without any hesitations and gets mad at me every time I take her out. There is a lot of kids to play with here this summer and it's great because she always enjoys hanging out with people her size ;o). And she really likes going for a walk. Well, I walk and she sits in her stroller. Right after i put her shoes on she climbs into her stroller, sits down in it and closes the safety bar and waits for me to get out the door. So cute. Her comfort blankie isn't a blanket but a cloth bib. Not a specific one, just any cloth bib will do for her and when there is few of them laying around, she has to have all of them. Funny.
And I guess that's about it. Kaylee continues to be the joy of my life and I hope I am the same for her.

What a life

I don't have to tell anyone that it has been pretty hot down here, so we have been doing a lot of this:

Just being cute

That's what she does best :)

Still loving her car

Kaylee has a lot of toys she is tired of after a week or two, but she sure still enjoys riding her car

Such a girl

I did mention once before how Kaylee loves to go into my closet and pull all the shirts/blouses/cardigans she can reach off the hangers. Than she picks her favorite, pulls it over her head and walks around the whole house being all stylish. I never took a picture of her making a mess in my closet but I did capture these ones:
Kaylee's closet before Kaylee's visit
cought!



After Kaylee's visit :)

What a helper

Kaylee has been so much fun lately. I'm not saying she hasn't been before, but she wasn't really picking up on the stuff I was doing and repeating in after me when she was younger. Now, she watches everything I do and tries to repeat it right after me. Like she walks around the house wearing my flip flops or I catch her going through my make-up and putting my lipstick on.... It's so cute.


Here is my sweet daughter helping me make cupcakes:

found mom's lipstick :)

New Orleans Zoo

We live in Baton Rouge, which is only 1hr and 20 min from New Orleans so we took a trip down there a couple of weeks ago and had a great time. Since we only had few hours (Kaylee needs her nap and stuff) we went to the Zoo only and boy did she have a blast! It was hot of curse, but Kay was happy to cool off in the water sprinkler and really enjoyed spending the day with both her parents which doesn't happen as often as we would all like...oh well, that's those crazy summers. New Orleans was great and we are planning on going back really soon!
Can you tell what a show off this monkey was? haha
