A week with Grammy and Grandpa Johnson and Uncle Tim's wedding.

Kylie has a busy week visiting Grammy and Grandpa Johnson...

We had a girls day and got our nails done a few days before Uncle Tim's wedding. Although Kylie didn't get her nails done, she enjoyed running around the salon.

 At T & T wedding. Kylie did a great job sitting on my lap during the ceremony, at one point she said "dada" and I thought she might try to join Craig and all the groomsmen up front, but luckily she stayed cuddled close to me.

Kylie found the flower girls basket and walked around with it for a little bit, she tossed the peddles out and would put them back in, getting some good practice for her possible future flower girl opportunities. 

It was so wonderful to see Jill and Mike, they made the trip all the way from NY.

The happy couple, Tim and Taylor. 

 The next day was uncle Kyles birthday. We visited some farm animals at the neighbors house. Kylie has been getting better with all her animal sounds so it was fun for her to see a real goat, horse and cow (she knows all the sounds, although some times "mooo" comes out sounding more like "moon")

This horse liked the hay so much that she tried to get a little more and accidentally nibbled Kylie's hair, silly horse. 

We travel in mass, yep, all of use headed out to see the farm animals, it was a big adventure for our little city mouse. 

"come here donkey"

Kylie enjoyed looking at the animals, but did not want to be put down and was not eager to touch any of them. She seems a little more at home when she is wearing sun glasses, necklaces and carrying a purse :o) 

A family trip to the new frozen yogurt spot in town. Kylie enjoyed some fresh fruit while the rest of us had some very yummy yogurt. 

She entertained us with all her silly faces, she loves having such a big audience. 

Although the live animals were not her favorite, she loves petting the fake bunnies and turtles at Grammy's house. She would pat the head and say "ahh ahh"

Just taking an afternoon walk with my purse and stroller. When did she grow up so fast?

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted. It is amazing how fast time go by. Kylie is talking more and more, she is such a good communicator, it is so fun. She has one molar, on her bottom left, that recently broke through and she seems to be working on a few more. She is getting more coordinated and can go up and down stairs pretty well. She is also almost running. She says "no" to everything, "did you have a good nap?" "no" "do you want to play with mommy and daddy" "no" etc... So we are trying to make sure we don't always ask her if she wants to do things when she does not have a choice (do you want to take a bath? or do you want your diaper changed?) we want her "no" to actually mean "no" so we are trying to be respectful of her opinion and give her choices when we can. She says "no" in such a sweet way, I'm sure that will not always be the case, but we are hoping to start getting a few more "yes's" from her soon. We also have a bird that made a nest by our front door and when we got back from the wedding there were two little baby birds up there with the mommy. I wish Kylie was old enough to care, but Craig and I still think its pretty cool.

Kylie is still nursing all the time. She is getting so strong and determined that I have to be careful when I am carrying her in public, she does not hesitate to pull down my shirt and help herself to a snack whenever she feels like it. We are also still enjoying having her sleep with us. Our new king size bed has been wonderful although we did wake up the other morning, both Craig and I on the very edge of the bed while Kylie had her feet in my chest and her head in Craig's. She is getting so long, we really notice it when she is sleeping, we think back when she was first born and how small she was sleeping between us. We miss that little baby but we are madly in love with our little toddler.
