I can't believe it is the middle of February already! Kylie will be 2 in less then one month! AHHHHH and I am past the midway point with this second baby, time is going by way way to fast. The baby is moving all the time and my belly is getting nice and big. I am more uncomfortable this time around, it probably doesn't help that Kylie often wants me to carry her everywhere and she is not exactly a small kid. I feel like I am carrying this baby slightly different then I did Kylie, maybe it's jsut second baby stuff, but I have gained a lot more weight in my love handles and hips, I feel like I look pregnant from the front and back this time :o) Maybe it's a boy :o) Just found out today that my good friend Janisha is having a boy, just 6 weeks behind me, I am so excited for her. Kerry is having a girl 4 weeks ahead of me, yeah! And Amy is being surprised, she is due March 10th. So many babies this year, I can hardly wait.
In an attempt to take advantage of being able to have Kylie fly for free (for 3 more weeks), we decided we would take a trip to Hawaii! We leave early in the morning and we could not be more excited. Kylie was acting like she was getting sick earlier today, but after a 3.5 hour nap she seemed to be feeling better, thank goodness. We got her a very cute "Scootcase" to take on the plane, it is a carry-on suitcase that is shaped like a little scooter, she can actually ride it around the airport, so fun! We have also loaded up on the summer clothes and swimsuits, but I think Craig and I are most looking forward to having some time together. It has been very busy at Craig's work and he has been picking up extra shifts, we are both teaching clinicals and I am still working one night a week, teaching at the BI and doing photos shoots here and there. It will be wonderful to spend some time just hanging out together.
Craig and I attended an awesome, one-night marriage conference on Valentines Day. The speaker was Kurt Cameron and he talked a lot about the movie Fireproof and how to make marriage better. It was a 4 hour event with good music and great company. Our friends Niels and Marisa watched Kylie for us, she did really well and enjoyed playing with the big girls. Of course one of her favorite things was trying on all there dress up princess shoes.
Kylie update
-She can sing her entire alphabet with only missing 1-2 letters
-She can say "I love you" with both hands in sign language
-Count to 20, but she often misses 15-17
-When you ask her what she will say when we get to Hawaii, she responds "Aloha"
-Loves to sing Twinkle Twinkle, she knows all the words
-She still loves to watch the Alan you tube video and can how repeat many different parts, her most recent favorite line to recite is "Oh that is rank, (I have to) go lay down."
-She likes to chew "floss gum" which is literally a piece of floss that she balls up and pretends is gum
-We watched Sesame Street for the first time about 1.5 weeks ago, she loved it, she only likes one episode when Snuffy Sneezes, so we have seen it many times now
-Almost every morning and evening she asks to Facetime Doe and Lala
-She loves having her nails painted, either pink or green
-Her favorite meal time activity is to hear "One day..." stories, she prompts us by saying "One day..." and waits for us to fill in the blank
-Just today she said something very silly, she was looking at a very small sticker, one that had come off some clothes, she went to her Lamb purse, got her sun glasses, put them on and said "wear glasses, I see better," and preceded to inspect the tiny sticker.
-She take the Lamb purse with her everywhere, right now it contains two hair ties, a pink and white bow, two chap-sticks (which she regularly applies), a package of floss, her amber necklace, Abby (a tiny doll), a little race car man, sunglasses and medical gloves. She is prepared for anything!
There is so much more to say but it is late and tomorrow morning will come quick. I am hoping to get some great photos in Hawaii and post them when we get back.
More to come soon,
-Natalie
