April really was a great month and we have done a lot of fun things. Kaylie and I have started going on walks to different parks every morning this week, which is a great way for me to stay in shape and a great way to run some of Kaylie's energy out. Kaylie loves the park and has become really daring and adventurous. She likes to climb up everything and go down all the slides with a little bravery talk. Haha! This month Kaylie's vocabulary has grown immensely! She is talking in full sentences and learning lots of new words. She remembers every little detail about everything and is really good at explaining things. Well, usually Marcus and I are the ones who truly understand the explanations the first time. Sometimes her pronunciation isn't perfect, but she is getting pretty good! Kaylie's latest interests are: playing outside as much as possible, doing check-ups with her doctor tools on everyone including some toys, putting together puzzles, playing with her toy foods and shopping cart, reading books constantly, learning to play in her room on her own for a little while, listening to music, dancing to music, goofing around with mommy and daddy, and she wants to help me with unloading the dishwasher or setting the table every once in a while. Kaylie is doing better with potty training and we are very happy about that. It would be nice if she was fully potty-trained by the time this baby boy comes along - we think she will be. Kaylie is learning to love nursery and she is remembering a lot that she learns. For Easter Sunday she told me "Jesus Lives", last week she was telling us "Joseph Smith saw Heavenly Father and Jesus", she always tells us that "Dear Heavenly Father loves us" and today I asked her what book she learned about and I said, "Book of...?" and she said "Mormon". I am so excited that she is learning and understanding these things even if its just a little bit. She is learning lots of songs in nursery to and she will sing them with us throughout the day and especially at night before bed. She loves "I Am A Child of God" and sings the whole song by herself. It is absolutely adorable! Kaylie has become fairly mellow and easy going and is learning to be obedient. She hates sitting in time out but if she doesn't listen after a warning she will sit in time out for a little while. It's good that she is learning consequences but fortunately she doesn't have to sit in time out very often. We love our little Kaylie girl and we are happy of the sweetheart she is becoming. Life is good!
These puzzles are done just about every day! She loves putting the people together and learning about them - she can tell us all their names and is starting to understand what most of them do.
Playing with daddy!

Our little climber!

She was so proud of herself for climbing up onto the bike by herself!
Climbing again!
Kaylie loved wearing her dress at the wedding! She always says, "Mom, Dad, I look so pretty!" Ha ha, I guess we must say it to her enough.
