I love this picture.

Isn't it funny when you are not even trying sometimes is when you take the best pictures. I love this one of her and all I was doing was trying my zoom feature out on my camera.

look at my curly hair...and my tongue?!

A day at the park.

This afternoon Kailey and I went for a walk to one of the parks by our house. You will notice she is sporting a puppy backpack. What you will not see in the pictures is the fact that a tail (really a leash) attaches to the back so I can keep Kailey somewhat under control. She has one speed and that is FAST FORWARD and she is very unpredictable where she decides she wants to dart off to. I swore I would never 'leash' my child, but I can totally see the value of it. I took it off for pictures and once we were in the park, but she has this set up on all the time. The swings were her favorite thing last Summer, but she was almost insulted when I tried her in it today. She gave me a look as if I was cramping her style. She put her arms up and said 'up'. She much preferred the slide, but was very upset when she realized she dirtied her shoes with wet sand. Every time she would sit down she proceeded to try to wipe off all the dirt. She didn't mind the fact that her pants and hands were filthy...but not the shoes!!! hahaha. There was a dog parking in one of the yards, so off she went like a little roadrunner saying 'hey pup' over and over again. I had an absolute blast with her today. Watching her discover her surroundings one blade of grass at a time has to be one of the most rewarding experiences one can have. We have the Dutch here with F-16's and they were flying overhead and she looked up and said 'wow' and wanted my reaction. She is a little sponge and I am catching her mimicking me all the time. I was pulling my hair back in a pony tail and she found an elastic later and tried to put her 'fluff' into a pony too. It was so cute. She wants hand cream now and pretends that she is painting her little toes. What a cutie.

Fancy Kailey Toes

OHHHHH do I love having a girl. She let me paint her toe nails this afternoon while she munched on some snacks. How cute are little toes in sandals as it is?...add some nail polish and the cute meter is blown to bits.

I forgot some of her other words:

milk - 'mil mil' in a rather deep voice.

color - cudder

yuck - uck

ewwww

stinky - tinkee

Another great thing I discovered today is that some of her really cute jeans that are too short are going to make great little Capri pants. YAY!!!

Oh Toodles...

Happy 18 Month B-day!

Hard to believe, but Miss Kailey Bear is a ripe old age of 18mths...hahaha. I just wanted to include the list of words she is using:
-hot dog (playhouse disney)
-mom
-dad
-nan
-nana
-up
-boobies(oops on that...my bad).
-belly
-baby (sounds like buby)
-hi & bye (sometimes bye bye)
-puppy
-Zoe Zoe
-OHHHH TOODLES (from playhouse disney)
-Toes
-SHOE (I cannot believe I almost forgot that)
-Dog
-oh oh



The photos below is of her modelling her new 'Baby Banz' Retro sunglasses. They are soooo cute. I just hope she keeps them on.

Oh My Kailey...

We always wrestle with Kailey trying to get that last diaper change completed before the bed time routine begins. It is so frustrating sometimes. She hates wearing diapers so I decided she could run around her room bare bottomed for a little bit. She loves to feel free I guess. She walked over to her dresser and opened the drawer that has her undies, socks and tights and decided to pick out some big girl panties for herself. I put them on her and she was so excited. Wait for it......well, she took them off and put them in her mouth and shook them like a dog and then smelled them and put them on her head like they were a hat all while laughing her jiggly little butt off. Now she did not get this idea from me...honest. How do you not laugh at this? I almost peed myself, so now I guess when we are actually ready for potty training I may have to curb some rather 'unique' habits.

Below is a picture of the infamous shoes!!! Currently she only wears one and hold the other one in her hand so she can oooo and ahhhhh over it.

Time for bed little fairy princess.

She is really into the Disney Fairy line, so I was really excited to find a couple of very sweet pj's. Here are the ones I picked out for her and stay tuned for the ones she picked out...very flashy.

Sweet Father Daughter pictures.

I love how excited Kailey gets when Jack gets home from being away. He was in the thriving metropolis of Wainwright last week and she was all smiles and wanted hugs when he got back. She is wearing the cute outfit from her Auntie Heather, Uncle Colin & Cousin Robbie (phew, that is a mouth full) gave her for Easter. The pearls are an added touch of bling that she wanted to wear. I love dressing her up pretty for Jack.

She is already developing her own sense of 'style'. She picked out these 'spectacular' shoes the other day. No matter what other shoes I showed her she shook her head 'no' and pointed to the heavily jeweled Mary Jane runners...YIKES. They are outrageous to say the least and she is extremely impressed with them. I will take some pictures if I can figure out a way to not have and overexposure - yes, they are that loud...hahaha. Another staple to her outfits are sunglasses worn backwards. She adopted my pair and takes them everywhere we go. Basically she is a total crack up and I find myself laughing my guts out several times through out the day.

She was a major ham today at the mall. I let her wander around and whenever she would get someone attention she would put her hands on her knees and fake giggle with her bum in the air. She is becoming quite well known in our little mall. The older ladies just love her and one lady taught her to blow kisses today. Another lady told her how pretty she looked and she cocked her head to one side and gave this cheesy crooked grin. SHE IS GOING TO BE A CLASS CLOWN FOR SURE. The main consensus was that she is full of zest, beans and energy. That is very true. I took her for a walk outside yesterday with her little doggy harness backpack and leash thing-a-ma-bob and am I ever thankful I did that. Picture the most disobedient puppy and then multiply it by 1000 and you have the K-bear on a walk around the block. This is the age of discovery and that is a fact. WOW.

Final k-9 is here!!!!

All of Kailey's teeth are in!!! YAhoooooo. She gets to have a little teething break until her 2 yr molars make their appearance. Not sure why the last tooth decided to be such a pain for her, but I really cannot complain. She was a very easy teeth er compared to the horror stories I have heard...poor babies. :-(

diaper butt.
