A Week With Nana

As you know, Millie is out of commission for a little while. Jordy's mom (Nana) took a week of vacation to spend with Kaylea. They had a great time. It made it easy on us. I had no worries while I was at work. I knew Nana would take great care of her. Too bad I did not get any pictures - maybe next time!

Newspaper

Subscriptions may be down, but Kaylea still likes the newspaper! I brought the newspaper in this morning and started reading it. Kaylea wanted in on the fun. She loves to put everything in her mouth, but she only tried to put the paper in her mouth once!

Splish Splash

Our child loves taking a bath! I think she is part fish. Below are a few recent pictures of her enjoying bath time with daddy. I cannot wait to get her in the pool. I think we are signing up for "swim lessons" at the YMCA in April. I am looking forward to it.

Millie's Surgery

My mom had her big surgery on Friday. She did great. She makes friends wherever she goes. She was hamming it up with the nurses, surgeons, and anyone else she came in contact with. The surgeon said that everything went perfect. As far as we know, at this point, she is cancer free. YEA! We will know more a week from Tuesday when the results of the pathology report come back.

We took Kaylea over to see her Millie in the hospital We figured she would be able to cheer her up. It worked. Somehow, I missed out on getting any pictures of Kaylea with her Millie!

She Got It!

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! We didn't capture the best pictures, but our little girl hasn't been feeling great. I think she has come down with her first cold. She has had a runny nose and hasn't been sleeping well at night. She seems to be in a pretty good mood during the day. I just want her to feel better. As you can see from the pictures, she is easily entertained. You can give her a bag of noodles out of the pantry, a metal spoon, a can of formula, or a plastic cup and she is happy as can be.

I love...

One of Kaylea's favorite toys is her Baby Einstein bouncer. She has recently discovered that she has the ability to make herself bounce. She loves it and thinks it is very funny. Below is a short video clip that we took the other day.

My New Favorite Toy

Kaylea has a new favorite toy - a box! She and Skeeter have been sharing the boxes in the house. However, when Skeeter sees Kaylea coming, he quickly takes off running. He hasn't warmed up to Kaylea like the Doodle.

Another Basketball GAme

Kaylea went to her first UL girls game this past weekend. She seems to enjoy all of the action, but boy does it wear her down. After a jammed packed day of fun, she passed out at 7:30!

Happy Birthday Uncle Art

Tonight we celebrated Art's birthday. As you can see, Art made sure Kaylea had a good time. She had her first real taste of sugar! And, I suppose I could have killed Art, but it's not going to be the last time she has sugar. I surprised myself (and my husband) and went with the flow. Besides, she only got a taste. Kaylea also sat in a high chair at a restaurant for the first time. We had to put a blanket behind her, but she was big enough. Happy Birthday Art!

Rock Star

I love all of the "rock star" clothes or the cute shirts with guitars on them. I'm certain Kaylea does, too. Below are some pictures of a few of my favorite outfits.

My Tongue

Miss Kaylea has discovered her tongue and she is having the time of her life chewing on it, sticking it out, and grabbing it. I could not believe I was able to capture this photo below. She is also starting to make all kinds of crazy faces. She thinks she is hot stuff!
