The Jankowski Family: Our Beautiful Daughter

I have to do a little blurb on Kaylie because she is growing so much every month. She is learning new words and phrases and becoming so creative and imaginative. We love her to pieces! This past month we have been going walking to parks, swimming in the pool at our complex, playing with all her favorite toys, reading books, doing puzzles, coloring, watching her favorite shows, baking cookies and all other kinds of fun stuff. I have even introduced her to painting her fingernails and toenails! One morning she noticed that I had painted my toenails and she said, "Mom! Your toenails are blue! Can you paint my toenails too?!" It was SO cute. Ever since that day back in late March, we have been keeping her fingernails and toenails painted all kinds of colors. She is my girly girl and I love it! I've also been trying new hairstyles on her too since her hair is getting so long. I've figured out that if I want to do something like, french braids, the only way to keep her still long enough is either having her play with all her hair clips at the counter, or watch a show. Her favorite shows these days are: Doc McStuffins, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Dora the Explorer, and SuperWhy. She also loves Winnie the Pooh but we only have The Tigger Movie, so occasionally we will watch that.

Here are some clever things she has been saying lately:
Whenever she is sick, even with the slightest cold, she will say, "I'm not feeling so good." and sometimes she will ask for a check-up. (We use her doc mcstuffins doctor tools for that.)

On July 9th we were playing with puzzles in the front room and she decided she wanted to do something else. She asked me if we had ping pong paddles because she wanted to hit her toy balls around with them. I told her we didn't and she looks around for a minute and says, "Maybe we can pretend that these are ping pong paddles" and she picked up a puzzle piece and hit her little soccer ball with it. It's so funny the way she gets creative and explains herself so well!

On July 10th Kaylie climbed into bed with me when she woke up. She was playing with the curtains hanging over our bed and she said, "When I hear the dogs barking, that means the windows open... that's my problem." Ha ha! She is so funny - she has been using, "that's my problem" every once in a while. And she always uses it at the right time too.

She has been using big words lately, and in the right context too. She hears everything I say and then adds it to her vocabulary so quickly. Words like, "actually" and "obedient". She is growing up so fast! Here are some pictures of her over the past couple months.
