First PB&J

Yesterday I decided to go ahead and let Kaylee have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. They say wait until 1 year old to give them peanut butter but I figured she was close enough (less than two weeks). She really enjoyed it..I wasn't thinking about how messy it was going to be, since she was already so messy John let her have a cheeto's...she thought she was in heaven.

Zoo

Saturday Kaylee and I went to the zoo with Melissa and her kids and we had such a fun time. This was Kaylee's first trip to the zoo and she really enjoyed it. John was home doing yardwork so he didn't get to go but we are going to take her again soon since she liked it so much. She couldn't really see to many of the animals but she did like to ride the train and pet the goats. She played dress up with animal costumes and she thought that was pretty funny. I think her favorite part was sharing a blue raspberry snow cone with me. We are looking forward to going back this summer when the splash park opens..I'm sure she will enjoy that!Kaylee and TylerKaylee and Mommy riding the trainPlaying dress upShe was trying to get in the bucket with the goat!!

11 Months

We've been so busy these last few weeks that I forgot to post Kaylee's 11 month update. She was 11 months on the 26th of February. I can't believe that in just a few weeks we will be celebrating her first birthday. She is so much fun these days..shes starting to talk more and she is trying her best to walk..she can stand without holding on to anything but her balance just isn't quite there yet..I'm hoping by her birthday she will be taking a few steps..we'll see. She is adjusting well to our new house..I was afraid she might have trouble sleeping in a new place but she has been just fine. The first night she slept from 8:30 until 9:30 the next morning..I couldn't believe it. She goes to the doctor the day before her birthday and I can't wait to see how much she weighs..she is starting to thin out now that she is moving around more and getting taller. She started playing peek-a-boo the other night and now thats all she wants to do..she will go hide behind a wall or door and keep poping out and laughing..it's so cute. She is also starting to throw tantrums more and scream when we take things away from her..discipline is in full force around here..haha!! Last night she was throwing a fit while we were eating dinner and John said "I can already tell that she is going to be one of those kids who get spankings everyday and has no privaleges when she gets older cause shes so stubborn" LOL Well that is about all shes up to these days...here are a few random pictures from the last month.She was smiling so big because I was painting her toe nails

New House

We've Moved!! Our lease at the condo was up and March and we had been contemplating whether or not we wanted to stay there for a while or move into a house. Once we found out I was pregnant we knew there was no question about it..we had to get something bigger. I started looking at houses while John was in Minnesota and I was going to pick a few I liked and take him to see them when he got back. Well...my mom called and told me that the house across the street from the Principe's was for rent and she wanted to know if we were interested. I told her I thought the rent would be way out of our price range but to go ahead and call and ask. The rent ended up being almost $500 more per month than we wanted to spend so we thought "oh well" and continued looking. The next day the owner of the house called my mom back and said that he would take off $450 since he knew the Principe's if we were still interested. My mom and I went and looked at it and we LOVED it..it has so much room and it is in a perfect location for us. So I told the owner that I was definentally interested but I would have to wait until my husband came back in town so he could look at it. He told me that it was first come first serve so if he found someone else who was interested before John got back then he would give the house to them..so I was sure it would be gone. When John came back in town I called the guy and asked if it was still available and he said he had two people who were interested but he didn't have any money yet from either of them to hold it. We headed over there and John loved the house just as much as I did so we decided to go ahead and give him a deposit to hold it..so, this weekend we moved in and we are loving it so much. Each of our kids will have their own room and I have a nice playroom to do my daycare. We have a pool and a big backyard that already has a swingset. John is loving that he finally has a garage to put all his tools in and he even has his own little workshop that the guy used as an office. We were so fortunate to find something so perfect and that the owner was willing to drop the price for us. These are the only pics I have so far but I will take more as we get settled in.Living Room
