Silly Girl...

It's so funny to see Kaylee's personality change depending on the situation she's in. If she is around strangers, or people that she doesn't know, she clams up, gets real shy and doesn't really move or make any noise. But if she's around her family she's a crazy little busy body! She's such a happy little girl and we love her so much!

Here is a collection of some random pics of Kaylee being Kaylee.

Kaylee found this swim diaper and thought it would make a nice hat.

Kaylee and her Great Grandpa Flint reading a book.

A friend of Holly's and Kaylee's made these bows for Kaylee and she just loved playing with them. She wanted to put all of them in her hair!

Here she is playing by the tree with her bows...

Kaylee and Daddy snuggling in bed one morning!

Here she is getting a kick out of wearing Mommy's kicks...

And look at our little computer genius at work!

Thanksgiving Fun

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. We were so fortunate to be able to have family come down and visit us! Three of Jared's brothers, his sister, a sister-in-law and a brother-in-law all came down to visit and we had a blast! Kaylee was a little overwhelmed by all the visitors (can you blame her?) but I think she really enjoyed it. Thanks for coming everyone! We miss you all already.

Justin and Talia came down on Sunday and stayed until Wednesday. We had tons of fun with them and enjoyed seeing downtown Long Beach too.

Here's the rest of the crew playing RB...

Kaylee being cute giving her cousin Tyler a little kiss...

Kaylee loves her uncle Primmy. What cute pics!

Uncle Deric thoroughly enjoyed being with Cuddles. I'm sure Kaylee felt the same way ;-)

The major breakthrough was Kaylee with uncle Jeremy. She used to cry whenever he would get near her. Look at them now!

Love those cheeks!

We love you all! Come back soon!

Sleepwalker?

Have you ever noticed that when you have company or some special event that that is when the house gets looking the best? It's a blessing and a cures, I guess. Well we've actually been decorating our house the past couple of weeks because all of Jared's siblings and their spouses are coming down to visit for Thanksgiving (4 brothers, 1 sister, 2 sisters-in-law and 1 brother-in-law). So we should have a full house! We're excited to have everyone here and can't wait for the company to arrive.

I just couldn't help but post this picture of Kaylee. It was taken at just the right time (or just a split second too late, depending on your opinion) and I think that it is a classic. Eheheh...

Here are some other cute pics of Kaylee...

Playing with (or teasing) the doggy...

And playing with her stamps at Gramma's house...

And can you believe that Kaylee's auntie Kelly made her another outfit?!? She's so talented (and patient) to be able to do this! Thanks so much! It turned out great and she looks quite cute.

And here are a few of Kaylee and her friend Samuel. Kaylee's so nice...she loves feeding Sammy her Cheerios!

Cute kids!

Happy Halloween!

Those darn Halloween costumes are so expensive these days! Holy cow. So Holly decided that she would try and make Kaylee's costume this year. She found the wings for Kaylee's costume at a second-hand store for like $4 and then she made the rest (sewed the leotard, made the antennas and put the little fluffies on her shoes) ! I think that it turned out quite well. Isn't she just the cutest little butterfly you've ever seen?

We went over to GGma & GGpa's house to show them Kaylee's costume. She loves playing outside and was showing the little squirrely how to smell a candle. How cute!

Then she decided to smell the flowers...

In the end, she was a pretty tuckered out little butterfly.

Kaylee also finished another "Mommy & Me" dance class this week. Here she is with her certificate.

Kaylee and her friend Charlotte are dancing...

And here is Kaylee with our next-door neighbor Veronica!

Tornado Kaylee

Holly took Kaylee to the doctor's office on Friday for her 18 month checkup. She's now 23 lbs (25th %) and 30.5 inches (50th %). She got a cold last week from nursery, so she didn't get her shots yet. But the Doc says she's doing great!

The other day while Holly was going through the mail Kaylee decided that she wanted to get some cereal out of the pantry. Instead of pouring it into a bowl, she decided to empty the entire box onto the floor! But she had a lot of fun playing in it like it was sand. Who says you have to go to the beach to play in the sand?

Well that box is empty - I better get another!

At least she's willing to help clean up though, right? Silly girl - she loves playing with those gloves...

Kaylee's Gramma made her an outfit the other day and we thought she looked so cute in it. Thanks Gramma!

She's doing her impression of Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible.

This is Daddy in Kaylee's "wind down" routine before bed the other night...
