Kaylie's 2nd Bday and other events...

So the beginning of this month started with a couple weeks in Modesto. Marcus had some appointments and lunches in Stockton, so we stayed at his parents home since it was less of a drive to the different schools. It was nice spending time there and Kaylie likes a change of scenery every once in a while too.  Kaylie turned 2 this month! She is growing so fast! We would have liked to not be sick the whole week, but unfortunately I caught the flu bug and then passed it along to the rest of the family. It has not been fun, but we were still able to celebrate with Kaylie. Since Marcus was down with the flu that morning, I took Kaylie out of the house (thinking she was feeling just fine) and we went to Toys R Us to browse around and see what we could find. We went up and down almost every aisle in the store just for fun! She actually had a blast! The lady at check out even gave her a balloon and crown to wear! After shopping, Kaylie went down for a nap and then woke up with a fever. So the rest of the evening was a little bit slow - we ate some dinner, blew out candles, and then opened presents. She seemed to enjoy it all though! I forgot to mention in my last post a couple of things Kaylie said or did:

February 4th - Dad said he was going to get in the show, show (or shower) and Kaylie said, "show show, what?"

February 13th - Mommy and Daddy were hugging and Kaylie said, "Guys, what are you doing?"

March 4th - Kaylie started singing more songs with us instead of just listening to us - all the bedtime songs and nursery songs ( She is SO cute when she sings! It makes us giggle some nights.)

Other than that, Kaylie has become more outgoing, extremely talkative, more independent, and more and more sweet! We love our little girl and we are so happy she is in our lives! She walked out of her room from playing with her toys the other day and said, "Mom, I give you a hug". She just came up and gave me a hug! It was the cutest thing in the world. She is much better at explaining herself now and letting me know what she wants/needs. Kaylie has also been showing love to the baby in my tummy. She is not going to forget its there! She gives kisses and check-ups and rubs my tummy. It is super sweet! Kaylie's favorite things these days are: shopping with her purse and sunglasses in the house, giving check-ups to all her stuffed animals and dolls, building tall tall towers with her blocks, and favorite tv shows are Daniel Tiger, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Winnie the Pooh and Doc McStuffins. It is so fun to see her personality and interests coming out. She is learning about how to pretend and we love going right along with it.
