Kylee Ann 5 months





I know I say this every month but I can't believe Kylee is growing so fast! She is almost half a year old. How has it gone by so fast? She is such a sweet, happy girl! She loves watching Olivia, Kylee is a great eater...she has had peas, carrots, and green beans all made by me. Kylee loves to be outside and has been in the pool a few times and has very active legs. She rolls from front to back and continues to roll ALL over the floor. She pushes up with her arms and is very close to sitting up on her own. She sleeps most of the night waking up only once to eat and then goes right back to sleep. Her nickname is "Smiley Kylee" as she always has a beautiful smile on her face. She loves when we sing to her and Olivia likes to sing to her as well. We are thankful every day for our two beautiful girls and love watching them grow!

Potty Time!

I have to say that Chris and I are VERY proud parents!! I decided to potty train Olivia last Wednesday and go cold turkey. NO MORE DIAPERS!!! Chris was home due to food poisoning the night before and so I thought might as well start today. When she woke up that morning I told her we were done with diapers and she was going to wear big girls panties. I made a big deal out of it and she was so excited. I also bribed her with candy but hey, it is working and she gets so excited after she goes potty. The first day was a little difficult but Thursday she only had 3 accidents, Friday 2, Saturday 1 and Sunday NONE!!! She does wear a pull-up at night and that does not bother her but when she gets up she tells me she needs to go potty. Today we went back to our work out group and one of my friends brought a smaller potty that her daughter used. Olivia went twice. Chris and I can't believe how quickly she caught on and how great she is doing. It is hard to believe my baby girl is growing up so fast! It makes me sad but very happy at the same time. Here are a couple of pictures of her sitting on her potty and her casual dress as we were training. She was so funny!

My shoe diva! That's my girl!!!

The girls Halloween project

I found this idea from a friend on Facebook. I thought it was super cute so I tried it. I have an idea for Thanksgiving and Christmas as well. I am going to try some different ideas but for  my first creative project we have done and we are proud of it. Happy Early Halloween!
