Johnson Baby Update: Home-made Pizza Party

Kylie's language has always been impressive to us, but lately we feel like she has been extra impressive. Saying things like "wow it's nice out today," completely unprompted while having a picnic with her friends, is just not what you expect from a 2.5 year old. This week has been fun so far, we did SkyTown on Monday and dinner at my parents house Monday and Tuesday night. She has been wearing pull-ups but does not seem at all motivated to try and use the restroom. Everyday her imagination gets better and better, we often hear about her husband Don and how he works in San Diego, was recently hit by a car and has been in the hospital getting better. Her demands during meal time have evolved from "one day one day one day...!" to "I'm thinking of an animal," "I'm thinking of a person" ("a hard one" she will say if she has guessed the others to easily), and most recently "I'm thinking of a place." It has been a nice break from the constant story telling and every once in a while we can get her to tell us one, it usually sounds like this..."I'm thinking of a person... it's a girl...with long hair...and his name is ____(fill in the name of a boy with short hair)," we can never guess right but she thinks it is fun.

Today I had breastfeeding group. We had another huge group of mommies, yay! It was wonderful to have two mommies tell me that they would have quite breastfeeding had they not come to the support group, it made my day to hear that. Cooper is such a sweet and patient baby boy, he sits and play with all the other kids and is content even with other mommies holding him while I run the group. He is growing so fast and already seems well past the infant stage, he is very strong and often rolls over from his back to his belly, especially when he is sleeping at night. He is making so many fun baby sounds, Kylie has been very entertained and will often say "Coopie just said AHHHH, silly little Coopie." He is chewing on his hands a lot and drooling all the time, it seems like he is working on a tooth, but I think it is still too early for that. He has started taking the bottle well for Craig, I work tomorrow so we will see if he will take it for my parents.

This evening we had a pizza making party at our house. The little girls all came over and made pizzas and we had a picnic in the front yard. It was so fun, we love having neighbors that we enjoy spending time with. I'm sure there is more to say, but I cant think of what it might be. Sorry I have not written the past few nights, I have been accidentally falling asleep with Kylie and then waking up around midnight with just enough energy to go climb in my own bed :o)
Good night,
Natalie

Kylie enjoyed a shopping trip with daddy
