Snug as a Bug...

She looks so tiny in her big girl bed. I am so proud of her. She finds me to tell me when she has to go potty. "Kailey go potty...now!!!". She waits until she is bursting at the seams so I am hoping that she will learn to ask sooner although that does interfere with her playing and talking...talking...talking. hahaha.

Kailey's singing voice...

This is what she wanted to wear!!

take picture of Dessa keese!!!
I let miss K decide what she wanted to wear today and this is what she came up with. Eyepatch...really?...yes mommy...arrrrgh...Kailey a pirate. Butterfly costume sans the wings because they were getting in her way.

So Jack is gone now for three weeks. ;-( Kailey thinks he is still at work so I am thinking it is not going to hit her until tonight as he is usually the one that puts her to bed with a story. I felt really bad for him last night when he kissed her for the last time...he was pretty broken up. It will get easier I am thinking when she can understand that he will be back. He says it is getting harder for him though. He will be back for a week and then gone again for 4 more weeks. After that is done though we are on the home stretch for a much needed family vacation and bonding time.

baby stella

Jackie came for a visit this afternoon and brought Kailey a 'Baby Stella' doll and diaper bag with all the essentials a new mom needs...hahaha. Instant love at first sight. Thank-you!!! She is such a good mommy. All afternoon she was caring for her. I took a video that is too big to post unfortunately, but I will try again tomorrow.

Did I get some on me?

Disney here we come!!

April 04 we are off to Anaheim for our first family vacation. We are staying 5 minutes from Disneyland for 9 nights (the Fairfield Inn). Kailey will finally get to meet the rest of her family - Jack's grandparents and get to re-connect with Grandma Joy, Grandpa Phil and Uncle Ryney(Ryan). We have 8 day hopper passes for all of us so we can come and go as we please and being 5 minutes away from the main gates will allow us to head back to the room for Kailey's naps and 'cool-down' time. I told Kailey and maybe I should have waited a bit. I honestly didn't think she would get it like she does. Every morning she asks 'go see Goofy? tomorrow?' she lists all the characters she knows, and there are many!!!! hahaha. We have direct flights there and back too so I am hoping she handles it ok. (3 hours and 21 min) She is a great traveller so I am hoping this holds true on this vacation. I cannot wait to see her face when she sees the Princesses. She already has a gorgeous Cinderella dress from the park thanks to Jack's parents. All I can say is YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Potty training...

I am so proud of my girl. Potty training is going so well. If I had to put a number to it I would say she is 75-80% there. It is a ton of work but the payoff of not buying and changing diapers is so worth the effort. She is wearing a variety of fancy Princess panties that she picks out or I put the traditional ones on her during the day. She uses pull-ups for her naps and bedtime. Tonight we went to the mall and I put a pull up on her and when we got home she was dry so I sat her on the potty (big potty with a Winnie the pooh seat) and she peed a lake and clapped and said 'yay Kailey...good girls get jelly beans!" Soooo sweet. She is growing up so fast. She is loving her big bed and every morning I have to wake her up around 8am, on the weekends she sometimes doesn't wake up until 9am...yay. She naps 2 hours in the afternoon still too. I guess she is like a little puppy in that she go-go-goes and then crashes hard.

Look how cute her tushy looks in her undies!!

Daily Planet debut

Here is a taste of what we do in Cold Lake. They aired this a while ago. Takes a while to load, but Jack has a pretty big speaking part.

A couple of funny pictures.

Kailey insisted she 'glam up' and accessorise before company came over last night. At one point she had on 2 necklaces, 2 bracelets, a ring, clip-on earrings and shades. The other picture is of her listening to Bob Marley while sipping on some milk....ahhhh...the life of a toddler. She lay next to me like this for a good hour saying. 'Kailey cozy cozy'.

Some Christmas Photos.

What a great Christmas thanks to my little sweetheart of a gal and my wonderful family. This was my most enjoyable Christmas to date for sure. She was so excited and I found that totally contagious. I got to meet my new baby Niece, Lana and really bond with my oober cute Nephew, Robbie. I cannot thank everyone enough for all the gifts but most of all thank you for being people I am proud to call family...Love you all. Missed you Grandpa Bill, but I know you were watching over us with that kind grin on your face.
