Kylie May does a little shopping today 349

This evening has been a little bit of a challenge and therefor this entry will be short and sweet. (FYI the challenge has not necessarily been Kylie, it's just that every time I go in to help her fall back to sleep, I do such a good job I put myself to sleep too. I this is the third time I have had to drag myself out of bed to try and write this blog, I am just hoping to get it done before she stirs again :o))
This morning we took a family trip to the Inland Center Mall, Craig returned some shoes I got for him (to big) and ordered some new ones, Auntie Melissa got a great deal on some cute undies at Victoria Secret and Miss May enjoyed the kids play area. It was a very successful trip, we wore Kylie out just enough for her to fall asleep on the way home, yay! After a nice long nap (over 2 hours), Kylie was up and ready to eat and play. She decided that she wanted to push two of her three push toys at the same time, it works for a few steps then they tend to veer different directions. Then she decided that she was going to try and push all three of her toys, it was interesting to watch her try to figure out how to push three toys with only two hands. She walked from one to the next pushing each just a little before moving on, this lasted just a few minutes until she decided to take off with the smallest one that makes music. We had a yummy dinner, we all ate the same thing, rice, fish and peas. It's so fun to have a few meals that don't require different prep for the little one. Then it was bath time and bed time. It took her a little over an hour to finally fall asleep and she woke a few times between then and about 11. What happened at 11pm you ask? Kylie decided that it was time to be awake, awake and happy and crawling around and nursing like a little gymnast. So another hour + or gym-nurse-tics and she finally fell back to sleep and so did I :o)

More to come soon,

P.S. Yes Craig is back to work tonight and he just wrote me saying that he is sad because he feels better awake at work (in the middle of the night) then he did the few days off when he was awake during the day. 30 days is all it takes to create a new habit, so I figure he just needs to take 30 days off to get himself back to normal :o) wishful thinking, but someday we hope he takes a day position, then hopefully he can switch his body back.

She had a death grip on Auntie Melissa's shopping bag

And this is the face we got when Auntie Melissa tried to take it away. Needless to say we let her hold it all the way home.

Post bath exercise around the house
