Eating machine!

Kaylee often comes up to us after finishing a meal or snack and says, "I'm still hungry!" (where "still" has 3 syllables and pitches - as in "sti-iii-iiilll") But what she really wants is more snack type food, fruit or a cookie/something sweet, even though she's not truly "hungry." This is what she just ate for dinner tonight...I seriously expected her to be done after the cookie, so I guess she really was hungry!

blueberries
slice of bologna
grape tomatoes
cookie (after which she asked, "what's for dessert?")
goldfish crackers
2 slices of pork tenderloin
1/2 banana

Her stomach made a funny noise a few minutes after she ate the banana and she laughed and said, "now I'm full!" Finally!

Birthday Cupcakes

Happy Birthday to Jesus! Like last year, our church gave out cake mix and frosting to the young kids so they could bake birthday cakes for Jesus' birthday. Of course Kaylee wanted to make them as soon as we got home, but I held her off until yesterday. When I went to get her in the morning I said, "good morning, sunshine!" She replied, "I'm ready to make cupcakes now!" and hopped out of bed. The kid does not miss a beat!

The first photo is at church; she's standing by a Christmas tree made of balloons. The rest, obviously, are from our baking, frosting and eating cupcake session...

Preschool Christmas Program

Kaylee's preschool Christmas program was on Friday. She was one of two kids in her class who did the hand motions and sang along to the 3 songs they performed. Gramma, Grampa, Memaw & PawPaw also came to see her performance; she was very excited to see them all there!





With her friend Olivia, who is in the next class year, and Olivia's little sister, Kendall (their big sister, Katie, had school). The last photo is Kaylee being silly in the bathroom afterward.

Early Christmas Present

Kaylee's Gramma & Grampa gave her a play kitchen for Christmas; because it's so big and it was already at our house, she got to open it last weekend when they were over (they stayed overnight so Jamie and I could go to his company holiday party). She loves it and shows everyone that comes over "MY NEW KITCHEN!!" A few pics from the weekend.

Early Christmas Photos

Cookies I made for this year's neighborhood exchange; they were a hit with all the kids!


Kaylee and our Christmas tree!

Writer's Block

Kaylee was sitting at her little table in the kitchen, staring at a blank piece of paper with a pen in her hand. She said, "Hmm. Let me think." (brief pause) "Oh, I have an idea! I can write my name!" Then she proceeded to try to write her name. i.e. she spelled her name while drawing lines and scribbles on the paper. :)
