New Threads

The new raincoat we ordered for Kayla came in the other day and we tried it on to see if she liked it and if it fit. It fit her fine and she really seemed to like it. She was smiling and running around in it until I grabbed the camera then it was, "No pictures please!"

A trip to the zoo

A week ago Carla and Kayla went with Carla's family to Brookfield Zoo. I had to work so I wasn't there but a good time was had by all. Here is a picture of Kayla with her safari hat that she picked out from the zoo last year. Now, everytime we go to the zoo we have to have her safari hat with her for her to wear. Although, by the end of the trip Carla's 9 year old cousin was wearing the hat.

Patience

Here's a picture from the end of July. I was doing dishes and looked into the living room to see Kayla repeatedly putting this bowl on Haley's head. It would stay on for a few minutes then fall off again. At which point Kayla would just put it right back on. Our poor dog cetainly suffers through quite a bit for our little girl!

Getting Caught Up

Well it's been five months since we've updated the blog and I'll try to get us caught up from those past five months as we do our one month count down to Disney. Kayla's been pretty busy with swimming classes, classes/playtime with the park district, etc. Kayla turned two last month and has become quite the precocious little girl. She is talking more and learning new words all the time. With her new words she has started mimicking/mocking mom and dad too. Just this morning she threw a piece of apple on the floor and when Carla said "Hey!" Kayla shook her figure at mom and said "No, no!" like she knew she wasn't supposed to throw food on the floor and that's what mom was about to say. A few days ago Carla decided to paint Kayla's toe nails and here's the result. Kayla couldn't wait to show dad her pretty, but "stinky," feet (to Kayla everyone has stinky feet, thanks Nana and Papa) when I got home.
