Standing

It can be very difficult to get a picture of Kaylea standing. It's not because she isn't good at it. She can stand on her own without holding on to anything for a long time. However, now she just wants to walk. She doesn't care if anyone is there to catch her or not. She doesn't care if she falls flat on her face. This is the best picture we could capture.

Water Table Fun

We got Kaylea a water table for her birthday (okay, I know it isn't her birthday yet, but I don't do well with keeping secrets...and it was HOT). Here are some pictures of her enjoying her new toy.

Well, You've Seen This Before

New Car Seat

We decided it was time to get Kaylea a new car seat. Although she looks happy in these pictures below, she had other ideas. She is not too excited about the seat. The first time we put her in it, she screamed the entire way to Louisville. We got stuck in traffic, and I have to tell you. I did not deal well with those big tears. I had to get her out for a few minutes. We'll keep working on it. I'm hoping she will like it better when we get to face her forward in another month.

Quick Update on Kaylea

I don't have any pictures to go with this post yet, but I'm hoping to get some tomorrow. Kaylea is wanting to walk soooo bad. She stands on her own and laughs and claps. She will walk for you. She's gone up to 10 steps before toppling over. She doesn't even mind when she falls on her face. For the last 2 or 3 weeks, she will hold on to something and then turn and try to walk toward you. Now, she doesn't even look to see if you are there - she just goes. Sometimes she makes it to her intended destination and sometimes, she ends up on the floor. The girl wants to go!

Memorial Day Weekend

Jordy and I don't usually have big Memorial Day plans. We usually just enjoy having a 3 day weekend. On Sunday, we had lunch at King Fish (Kaylea slept through the entire thing) and then went to Waterfront Park. Kaylea had a blast. She loved the swing. I thought she would be scared of the water that sprays out of the ground, but she wasn't. She loved it. When we went home, she was worn out. She took a 2 hour nap - that never happens! It was a great day.

Where's Daddy

Kaylea and I were playing in her room while Jordy was out cutting the grass. As he rode the lawnmower past the front window, Kaylea was trying to get his attention. By the way, I just updated this because it made no sense. Why didn't anyone tell me???

I know it's dark, but I love the look on her face in this one!

Friday

I worked the past 2 Saturdays, so I had this past Friday off with my monster. We had a great day. We played and played. We had lunch with my law school friends Brian & Cora. Cora has a 1 year old boy (I brought my camera and forgot to take it in). Friday evening I had one of my Mother's Day gifts - Jordy & I took my mom to see Wicked. I saw it last year with Jordy's mother and loved it. It was just as fabulous this year.

Before the Show

Nice Surprise

I came into work on Monday and one of my co-workers had brought me some flowers from her garden. I made comments on those that were on her desk last week. What a sweet surprise! It put me in a good mood all week (ok, it helped that I had a long weekend coming up).

I couldn't resist posting this video. We were at Mark's Feed Store tonight and I grabbed my phone after she did this for about 10 minutes and captured this video. Apparently, Kaylea thinks she is a doodle or that she has to drink like one. She kept sticking her face in the water and then looking at an older couple in front of her laughing. She had the entire area around us laughing before it was all over with. What a ham!

America's Funniest Video

I bought Kaylea this Easter gadget. We were at Hallmark and she just loved it. I brought it home and wanted to show Jordy & Pop how much she liked it. I think the Doodle liked it the most.
