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!

Just Olivia!

I haven't posted much about our large fry lately and I feel bad! She has made such great improvement with her language and we are so proud of her! I have really been working with her since I have been home and she is doing such a great job. While we work out we sing different songs such as Old Mac Donald, ABC's, London Bridge, etc. We started singing the ABC's one day and Olivia started singing it with me. Now she sings it on her own and works out at the same time. We LOVE hearing her sing it!! We have also had a LOT of birthdays the past few months. Olivia started putting all of her animals at the dining room table and would sing what she called "happy cake". Then we got a Dora CD that has a birthday song on it and now she sings happy birthday all the time. I am so proud of her and all her hard work! We were worried about her since we waited so long to get tubes and by 2 she was not putting 2 words together. She has come SO FAR from there and we are so excited! She is growing so fast and I can't believe she will be 3 in four months! My baby is getting so big!!!

Peas Please

Kylee started cereal a little over a week ago and Sunday she started peas. I decided since I am staying home that I am going to make Kylee's baby food instead of doing the jar food. It has been fun so far. I have made peas and carrots and next will be green beans and I think sweet potatoes(I am going by the list the pediatrician gave me). Kylee loves the peas and is likea little bird. She keeps her mouth open for more and gets mad when she is done. Olivia of course pretends that she is feeding her baby too and it is very cute! This is a picture that I took with my phone so it isn't that great. I will have to keep our real camera around for moments like these!

Stroller Fun!

I was washing dishes while Chris was playing with the girls. I turned around and saw Olivia pushing Kylee in her baby stroller. She thought it was so fun and Kylee didn't mind it either!

Cereal Time!!!

Well it is official, Kylee is a big girl! She started cereal Saturday and LOVED it. She didn't make a "what are you giving me" face but a "give me some more" face. She was like a little bird sitting there with her mouth open waiting for more. She is too cute!

I took her to her 4 month check up Friday and she was such a trooper with her shots. She weighed 17 pounds 2.4 ounces and is 26 inches long. Kylee has grown 2 inches and gained 4 pounds in 2 months. She is wearing clothes that Olivia wore when she was crawling (which was about 6 months old). Kylee is always smiling and loves her big sister. We call her smiley Kylee. When she does fuss Olivia walks up to her and says, " It's ok Kylee...shh shh." I am one lucky mommy!!!
