After my last blog posting, I decided to keep track of everything Kylie said in one day. Here is the current list of the words she knows... money, work, down, manatee, trash, ball, baby, mama, dada, yeah, ut-oh, nana (nursing), up, no, mark (markers), wawa (water), truck, bubaid (band-aid), toe, walk, apple, cheers, bye, peepee, took (cookie), eggs, eyes, Dish (her doll Tido), elbow, eye brow, Doe (Quin), me, Marta (Melissa), auntie, Papa, Ammy (Diana), Ama (Carol), nose, knee, book, park, whale, pat, back, bark, Coco, Mimi (Misheel), Matt, Josh, Lala (Lane), more, please, neck, trash truck, painting, Al (Alisa), Ek (Erika), march, big, push, meow, bow wow, Jackson, and possibly a couple more I missed. Needless to say she has got a big vocabulary for an almost 17 month old.
She communicates so well, I feel like her vocabulary, and ability to put it all together, gets better every day, it is SO fun!
Other big events... Kylie has had a couple nights where she has slept from about 10pm-almost 5am, wow! It's only happened a couple times, but it gives us some hope for the future.
Last week Kylie went to her pile of diapers, picked one up, slowly laid down on the floor then tried to put her diaper under her. When we asked her if she needed her diaper changed she said "yay" and then "poopy." Yep she was right, a big one, is it to soon to start potty training? ;o)
Kylie gave Grandma Carol a name, Ama! She says is like Mama without the first M, we think it is because Ama is like Mama with our the MMMMMilk, lol.
Kylie got to see her first musical, The Sound Of Music, and she LOVED it! It was playing at the bowl and we took Kylie to see the dress rehearsal, she watched the whole 3 hour show! She danced and swung her arms like she was conducting, she clapped with the songs were over and asked for more. She loved watching the smallest girl (only 4 years old). She loved it so much that we took her Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. It only played for those few days, but today we have been singing all the songs and Kylie has been marching around the house. We need to buy the video so we can watch it over and over!
Kylie's bottom two molars are all the way through, she is now working on her K9's on the top and bottom.
She has started HATING bath time. It is so bad that she literally claws and climbs out of the tub screaming as if someone is hurting her. It is horrible. Today we tried playing in the water outside and adding a little soap, it worked well until we tried to get her hair wet. We might just have to make a trip to the pool tomorrow and call it a bath :o)
This is from a couple days ago.
From yesterday.
Continued...
Play date with Liam last week.
We took a walk to Olive Market in the wagon.
Two weeks ago we attended, Craig's good friend, Thad's wedding. It was a fun evening at a beautiful home. By the end of the night, Kylie was in her PJ's, she took a little nap (I messed it up by trying to put her down) then she was up dancing. Well Craig and I were dancing and I was holding little Miss May. The music was loud and we were bouncing around, Kylie did not look like she was enjoying it at all. but every time we walked off the dance floor she would look at me and say "more." I would ask "Kylie do you want to go dance more with Mommy?" and she was say "yay." So we danced.
Kylie enjoyed exploring the venue.
Oh Doe!
Showing Josh her pre-dance warm-up moves.
She picked this flower off a bush and carried it around as her little treasure.
Thank goodness there were lots of Aunties to take turns walking with Miss May.
Auntie Taylor.
Flowers are good for eating too.
Last week on Wednesday, we took a family trip to Corona Del Mar. I had taken some photos there earlier in the week and just loved it, so we decided to go for the day.
Tido came with us (of course) and in this photo Craig is making Tido squish the seaweed with his foot, Tido had to try everything before Kylie would think about it.
Watching the waves come in, not so sure about the water.
But see, Tido likes to get his feet wet...
Kylie loved watching the seagulls...
and spinning around in circles.
Break time.
Kylie made a little friend, Mia, while we were there. Mia handed Kylie her little mermaid doll and Kylie leaned over and gave her a kiss, it was so sweet.
Chair dancing.
Kylie would get so upset when Tido got sand in his face, then she would try to wipe it off with her sandy hands and it would just get worse, vicious cycle.
Kylie has a handful of activities she does that I refer to as her "attempts at remaining an only child"
In particular, this is one where she stands up, then sits back as fast and hard as she can, landing on my stomach, causing me to grunt and moan, she thinks it is so funny, she will do it over and over until I escape.
Silly one!
After a long day at the beach, we headed to Papa's boat. Kylie had never been to the boat before, she seemed to enjoy it even though we didn't take it out of the slip.
The next day we headed down to Vista to visit Niels, Marisa, Raine, Sunny and Sky. Over these two days of driving back and forth to the beach Kylie actually slept in her car seat. She fell asleep on her own, it was awesome!
We ate at the restaurant Neils works at, it was so delicious!
Baby Sky is 11 months younger then Kylie but already weights 3 lbs more! All that good mama milk!
Someone translate please!
Dance party with the Aunties. We enjoyed a visit from Ammy, Lala, Doe, Ek and Al last week. Kylie loves having everyone here.
Her first pair of overalls, thanks Ama.
When Kylie woke up from her nap today she grabbed my breast pad and put it on her head. It fell off and she said "ut-oh" and put it back on. This happened about 6 more times until she was almost in tears because she couldn't keep it on, so we decided to clip it with the bow, I think it is a cute fashion statement :o)
I'm sure there is more to write, but that's all I can think of right now.
Good night,
Natalie
