Best Buddies

Kaylee and Jade, one of the little girls I keep, are starting to become little buddies. It's so cute to see them together. Jade is almost 7 months old and she is starting to crawl so they are getting into everything. They take their morning naps at the same time but they have to be in seperate rooms or they stay up laughing at each other. Kaylee is usually the first one up so whenever Jade wakes up and I put her down in front of Kaylee they both get these big smiles on their faces and start climbing all over eachother..Jade has lots of hair that Kaylee loves to pull and Jade always takes Kaylee's bows out of her hair. They are both really enjoying playing in the ball pit Kaylee got for Christmas..here are a few pictures of them playing together the other day...

Christmas

Kaylee's first Christmas didn't go exactly as we hoped..she was really sick, but we had lots of fun spending time with our families. There was no Christmas eve service at church this year which we were all a little dissapointed about but it gave us more time to make all our rounds with family. Christmas eve we went to John's parents house to celebrate with them and his grandparents, his mom got a honey baked ham that was really yummy and Kaylee got lots of cute clothes from them...she wasn't really to interested in opening her presents because she wasn't feeling good so I had to do most of them for her. Christmas morning we went down and opened Kaylee's presents and she was still not feeling well and she was running a fever but she was a little more excited to help me open them because there were toys inside instead of clothes..we got her a ball pit that she really likes and a toy that she can either push or ride on, she tries to walk behind it but it goes to fast for her so she ends up falling..haha!! We spend most of the afternoon just hanging around the house cuddling with her trying to get her feeling better then that evening we went to my Nana and Papa's to have Christmas with them and my family. Kaylee still wasn't feeling good so she sat with my Mami while I opened all her gifts..she got lots of cute clothes from Mami and Mac Daddy and some toys that make lots of noise that she is really enjoying now that she is feeling better :) Nana and Papa got her clothes and this cute little princess clock that shines stars on the ceiling when the lights are out..we have it above her crib and she likes to look at them at night. We had such a great time being with everyone and want to thank everyoone for everything they got us..we really are blessed. We didn't get many pictures since Kaylee wasn't feeling well but here are a few I got of her at our house on Christmas morning.

Disney Vacation

Last week we went with John's parents and brother to Disney World..they are huge Disney fans and get season passes to go all year long. They have been wanting us to go with them and take Kaylee since she was born so we decided that since it had cooled off we would give it a shot and see how she liked it...turns out she LOVES it. Her favorite TV show is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on playhouse disney so we wanted to see if she recognized mickey mouse in person..she didn't really care about the characters but she loved the rides..lol..We left early Sunday morning and stopped at Seaworld since John's dad had never been..Kaylee was very good and seemed to have a fun time looking at the animals but there was nothing there she could ride. We stayed at a hotel in Disney which was very nice because once we parked we didn't have to get back in the car..we just rode buses to whatever park we wanted to go to. Monday we spent the day at Epcot and she had a really good time. She got to ride a few rides and she really liked looking around at all the lights. Tuesday morning we went to MGM but Kaylee was a little fussy so we went back to the hotel to let her nap and then headed out to Animal Kingdom..she loved riding on the Safari ride and seeing the animals. Tuesday night we went to Mickeys very Merry Christmas parade and I think that was her favorite...we were afraid she might be fussy because it was late but she loved watching the parade and we even rode a few rides..By Wednesday we were kind of tired and didn't really feel up to going to a park so John, Kaylee and I headed to downtown disney and walked around and rode the boats. We had a really good time and Kaylee did better that we ever imagined..we are so glad we have season passes so we can take her back all year long.She did such a good job riding around in her stroller!!

8 and 9 month update

Well..It has been so long since my last post that I don't even know where to begin. I missed Kaylee's 8 month post and she will be 9 months is a few days so I thought I would go ahead and do them together. Kaylee is finally crawling now and she is getting into EVEYTHING. Ididn't realize there were so many dangerous things in our house. HAHA. She has learned to pull herself up now and she stands up on everything she can get her hands on..she even knows how to get up the stairs. Her personality is developing more and more and she keeps us cracking up all the time. She calls John "baba" and says "mama" only when she is upset and she wants me..lol!! She puts everything in her mouth so I have to vaccume daily. It's amazing what she can find. Kaylee is still eating like a champ and she loves to go to Sonny's because she gets her own bowl of Macoronie and Cheese (her favorite). Kaylee really enjoyed her first Thanksgiving, we spent lots of time with both sides of our family. We just got back from a week in Orlando visiting Mickey Mouse and Kaylee really enjoyed it..I will do another post for that!! We are very excited for Kaylee's first Christmas and I will be sure to post pictures of all our holiday events!!Well..It has been so long since my last post that I don't even know where to begin.

She looks scared..haha

Little miss attitude!!

Daddy and the Claw Machine

Every weekend we go to Walmart to grocery shop and on the way out John always stops at the claw machine to win stuffed animals for Kaylee...this particular walmart has really good prizes in it and he usually wins two or three each weekend. I told him we are going to have to have a whole room for just her for her animals when we move...they are starting to take over her nursery!! She gets so excited when he gives them to her..haha..I think this is the only reason they like to come to Walmart with me!!

Accident

Just wanted to say a quick thanks for all the prayers, calls and texts Sunday after John's accident. They were greatly appreciated. For those of you who don't know John was supposed to leave Sunday to go to Minnesota for two weeks for a work trip...he was on his way to the airport Sunday morning and his car hit a slick spot on the road coming off an exit ramp and his truck flipped and was totalled. Thank God he was not hurt too badly, he thinks he may have a broken rib and he has some bruises and scratches on his head where he hit the roof of the car but other than that he is just really sore. He was so fortunate to not have been badly injured. He ended up missing his flight and all the later flights were booked up due to the Florida/Georgia game so he didn't end up going to Minnesota. He will probably not be going now until January...when it's REALLY REALLY cold!!!

Halloween

Kaylee had so much fun on her first Halloween, she was a monkey and she was so cute. John picked her outfit and I have to admit I didn't love it at first, but once I got it on her it was so adorableand perfect for the weather. We headed out to church Halloween night and had a blast, there was lots of good food and candy and everyone's costumes looked so good. We had so much fun hanging out with family and catching up with friends. The weather was a little chilly so we kept Kaylee bundled up really good, but she seemed to have a lot of fun...she didn't fuss at all. There wasn't much we could do with her except walk around since the activities were mostly for older kids..but she didn't mind. She got to have her first taste of cotton candythanks to Mac Daddy...he went to give her a little bite and she grabbed the whole stick from him..she loved it. Is melted all over her and she was a sticky mess but she was happy!! We had so much fun and can't wait for the upcoming holiday season. Here are some pictures of her in her costume.My mom has a few more good ones on her camera that I will add later. Daddy and Kaylee getting ready to head to church!!

Ashlyn and Kaylee

What would you do......

for a Klondike bar!! LOL John was eating a Klondike bar the other night and Kaylee kept growling at him like she wanted some so he went to give her a lick and she tried to grab the whole thing..haha!! He gave it to her and she went to town...she was making a hugh mess so I was trying to take it away from her anc she kept growling and screaming!! This little girl is something else..We had to get daddy a new one because Kaylee slobbered all over his..haha No...she wasn't falling asleep eating it..the flash was really bright.

mmmmm...so good!!

7 months old....a little late

I am a little behind on my posting but last Sunday Kaylee turned 7 months old. I was hoping this month we would be able to post that she was crawling..but unfortunantly shes not. HAHA. She is rolling constantly now and can get anywhere she wants to go. Lately she has been getting up on her hands and knees and rocking back and forth. It looks like she is about to take off at any second but eventually she just falls back down :) We have had another great month and we are getting excited for all the upcoming holidays since this will be Kaylee's first. Kaylee loves playing with her toys and she enjoys being outside. We took her to the sweet potato festival in Georgia last week and she had lots of fun walking around and seeing everything. She got a new highchair this month since her legs are now too big to fit in her Bumbo (which is where I used to feed her). She loves getting in her highchair because she knows she is about to eat!! She is also taking baths like a big girl now. We put a bath mat in her bathtub and she sits there and plays with her toys while I am bathing her. Bath time has become so much more fun now. Tonight is Halloween and we will be taking her to the church for the festival. Check back later for pictures of the event and to see what Kaylee was for Halloween!! Taking a bath in her bumbo..before she outgrew it!!

She is so close!!!

Playing with my friend Mylee at church

Look we can finally stop using the stick on bows....she actually has enough hair to clip them in.

Biter Biscuits

Last week we let Kaylee try biter biscuits for the first time and they were a huge success. She was able to hold it herself and she loved it. They are very sticky and messy but it kept her entertained for almost an hour. She loves to be a big girl and feed herself. Yummy

That was so yummy

Oh no I made a big mess

New Outfit

Today when Mami came to pick up Kaylee for the day she brought her this adorable new outfit and I had to post pictures of it. Kaylee wasn't really in picture taking mood but we did it anyways. I love it!!
Check out the shoes..they match the shirt but you can't really tell in the picture
