Kaylee said...

Kaylee was just sitting in the middle of the stairs, hungry and sucking her thumb. I finally got her to agree to eat some mandarin oranges. So I opened a container of them and went to take them up the stairs to her. I tripped on all the laundry at the bottom of the stairs and clumsily landed at Kaylees feet--successfully not spilling the oranges. Kaylee giggled and said, "You cute!" I laughed and told her that she was the cute one and she said, "No, you cute, Mommy. You cute."

Potty training

I haven't been in a hurry to potty train Kaylee because I don't want to have to clean pee out of carpet or worry about finding bathrooms while out running errands. Yeah, I know that's lame. But Kaylee started saying, "Potty toilet" and then she'd run to the little potty chair we have in the downstairs bathroom. She loves to flush the potty down the toilet and wave bye-bye. A few days ago I caught her sitting on the bottom stair taking her diaper off. She stood up, leaving her diaper laying on the stairs. Lovely. I told her that she needed her diaper so she didn't get pee on the floor. She said, "No, I go potty in the toilet. Okay!" and took off running down the hallway with her darling, bare bum cheeks to her potty chair.

I have got to be the luckiest mom in the world!! Of course, I shouldn't congratulate myself on my luckiness yet...there's still a lot of time for it to backfire:) And knowing Kaylee and her love for making messes, it's very likely to!

Snowfamily!

One night up at my parents house Uncle Jay, Kaylee, and I went to play in the snow. We decided to make a little family of snowmen. We had lots of fun, but in the morning the falling snow had covered all but the head of the tiny guy and made the rest of them look deformed. Sad day!!

We had my cousin Alicia come down from Rexburg to take some baby and family pics for us. We love them!

Thank you Alicia!!!

Kaylee said...

A couple weeks ago I tried checking Kaylee's diaper because someone was leaking some smells. When I tried to pull the top of the diaper out Kaylee ran away and said, "No, Mommy, that's my toilet!"

Uncle Jay--at it again...

Poor Kaylee was just playing with bubbles in the kitchen sink...then along came Jay, who picked up a handful of bubbles and blew them at Kaylee...



He leaned over the sink in laughter as she wiped away the bubbles...



Of course she loved it and wanted him to do it again...and again...and again...



Don't worry, she also got him back
