Rain Rain Go Away, Come Again Another Day

Even though Kylee and I were caught in the rain three times today while we were out doing our dog walks, we actually did not mind getting wet.
Kylee was able to test out her rain coat and rain boots for the first time. Before we had even gone outside in the rain, Kylee kept pointing to her boots and was very excited that she was wearing them.
She enjoyed splashing in puddles, but would cry anytime that she fell in the mud. (Typical girl) I thought if Kylee fell it would be butt first. Oh no, not with this child. She dove face first into a big muddy puddle. Afterward she was crying and I was busting up with laughter. I have a lot of scrubbing ahead of me-both her and her clothes.

Who Woke Up on the Wrong Side of the Crib?

Someone has some serious bedhead going on!

Kylee woke up from her nap pretty grumpy and it only got worse once Kurt returned with a camera to take her picture.

Crafty Moment

Yep, I am a dork. I was very excited when this little adventure actually turned out pretty cute. At a baby shower I attended two weeks ago the hostess gave out these cute little stickers, "I am a child of God" lettering, to put somewhere or on something for our children. After some thinking I decided to place it on a canvas. What started out as just a painted canvas turned into a little decoration to hang on the wall.

I have also now officially ran out of space in Kylee's room to place anything else. Looks like I need to start having more kids to have rooms to place more crafty things. (I am not hinting at anything. I still have not forgotten what I went through to have this little squeak quite yet.)

Kurt's Dream Come True

The only thing that could make Kurt more excited would be Kylee sitting on a dirt bike or snowmobile.

Kurt often looks into Kylee's mouth to see how her teeth are doing and if any new ones are coming in. She decided it was finally her turn to do some inspection of her dad's teeth this time.

What did she find? That Kurt needed to get that piece of broccoli out from between his teeth. Ew!

Apple Orchard

How many apples can I eat in a day? Five. How many apples can Kylee help eat in a day? Three.
Our ward had an activity at Homestead Farms in Poolesville, MD over the weekend.
There were many fresh apples and tomatoes to pick and farm animals to pet. We made sure to enjoy all of these opportunities.
This was Kylee’s and my first time ever picking and eating apples straight from the tree.
(I think that is why we may have gotten a little too carried away with eating so many the first day.)

Kylee's View

Bird's eye view from Kylee:
-Tree
-Leaf
-Dog
-Mom's head
-Mom's back
-Dog bum
-Leaf
-Tree

These are the main things Kylee sees or points to during out afternoon walks. This girl is still obsessed with leaves, trees, and bushes. Whenever we pass a bush or tree she will point to it and want a leaf to carry from the tree or bush.

How to Catch a Kylee

Step 1: Place an unknown object in Kylee's view

Step 2: Make it look as appealing as possible

Step 3: Show no interest in Kylee and secretly watch what is about to unfold out of the corner of your eye

Step 4: Laugh your head off when you have caught Kylee and take many pictures to embarrass her with in the future.
