Photo Update

Sleepy "baby" - Kaylee usually wakes up 30 or so minutes before we get her in the mornings.  One day last week, though, Jamie went in to get her and she was still out cold!  Not sure if she'd woken up and fallen back asleep or was just still sleeping, but he tried talking to her and rubbing her back, but she was zonked.  So we took a picture and she woke up after that (maybe the camera beep woke her?).

Kaylee loves to help PawPaw with his puzzles!!

Showing off a couple of her projects from her final art class of the session. She painted a flower and decorated the frame for a Mother's Day poem, colored and decorated a butterfly (now hanging in her room) and drew and did fingerpainting - it was a fun, busy class! She is very proud of all her creations!

This is what Kaylee wanted to wear yesterday afternoon...interesting fashion choices.  Jamie called it toddler burlesque, hah!  She thought it was funny that Tigger was sitting on her bear rug and wanted to pose next to him for a photo.

We had another art class and today's project was based on artwork by Laurel Burch. It took a few funny face shots, but I finally got a good smile. The first tries were cute, too, so here they all are:

little poser

Yesterday Kaylee wanted to have her picture taken with Neigh-Neigh. I took it, then she ran over to look, then shouted, "again!" and ran back to pose by Neigh-Neigh again. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat... We took a lot more photos than this, but here are a few of them (mostly the same over and over).



She also got a late birthday present from her Auntie Cheriene - she didn't mind, as she's always happy to open gifts!! Here she is holding up her present, and wearing it! She wanted to put it on right away, over the dress she had on. (There's also a little white cardigan that goes over the dress - very cute!) Thanks, Cheriene!!

bows, bows, bows

Kaylee's becoming quite the accessory queen...she has so many bows (and counting, as I've been making some for her lately). I saw various bow holders around and when I ordered a custom one that came in very shoddily made (should have gone with your lady, Lisa!), I decided if you want something done right sometimes you have to do it yourself. So I made one for her and it turned out pretty cute, if I do say so myself! I finished it last night and hung it this morning; good thing I put two ribbons on it, as one would have been completely filled already!!

Funnies

Kaylee shows how her rocking chair fits one person, and Erin joins in to show how it also fits two!


Tonight at dinner Kaylee told Jamie, "don't talk with your mouth full!" Jamie said, "oops, sorry!" and we all started laughing. I guess she's learning! Gotta be careful what we say - and when!

Earrings & favorite dress

Here's Kaylee wearing Mrs. Potato Head's earrings:


This morning she said she wanted to wear a dress. She initially pointed to the yellow bee one and said, "wear dress from Elena!" but then saw this polka dot one and said, "wear dot dress!" I think it's her favorite dress as she requests it often, but I also think today will be the last time she wears it! The neck hole is a bit tight and it was tough getting her arms through it (the little black band around the waist is not stretchy). I'll have to hide it after washing because she'll be very upset if it's in her closet and she can't wear it!!

New molar

I just noticed last night that Kaylee's got her bottom right two year molar in! It probably popped through a week or so ago, as there's quite a bit of it through her gums already. I noticed when we were brushing her teeth and she was saying, "AAAHHHH." That's tooth #17...3 to go! She's been chewing on her fingers a lot the past 3-4 weeks, so I figured the molars might be working their way in, but luckily she still never complained about anything hurting (though she did ask for Orajel a few times). I think we're doomed for the teen years (let alone the continual terrible 2's), since everything's been too easy with her so far...
