Things to Remember

Sorry I don't have any new pictures today, but it's been a while since I've updated and I got some things I need to get out of my brain and onto this blog. We're leaving for vacation today to Seaside, OR and hopefully will have a bunch of new pictures to post when we get back.

I don't want Kaylee to grow into a girly girl, but I can't help but love the new thing she does lately. I sit her on the counter in the bathroom as I'm getting ready in the morning. I give her a little makeup brush that I don't use and an empty lid. She pretends to put on makeup just like her mom. It's so cute. Sometimes I let her try to put makeup on me (with the pretend stuff of course!). She'll also take that little bit of mousse that remains on the container and rub it in her hands, then rub her hands in her hair. It's so cute.

Most often though she uses other styling products that she finds during meal time. Yesterday was oatmeal and carrots. The day before, banana.

Yesterday she started pinching her nose and talking with that nasally voice. It's so funny. I don't know what gave her the idea to do that!

I was also really excited yesterday when I was singing to Kaylee, but unable to sign the words, that Kaylee started to sign them for me. She knows some of the words to "Jesus loves me". She'll say "This I know" and "Little ones to Him belong".

It seems her favorite thing to do... the thing she first asks for when she gets up in the morning, is to play the Nintendo game. Now don't get me wrong. She doesn't actually play herself. She just holds a remote and thinks she plays as Jeff or I are playing. But now I think it's getting time to not play when she is up. She's way too young to be addicted to video games!

Right now I'm stalling because there was something else i wanted to write about, but can't remember. So until then, I'll also record how Kaylee loves to sit on things. Whatever we're doing, she wants to sit on it. Anyone know what that's about? Reading a book - she'll get it on the floor and turn around and sit on it. Computer keyboard (her play one) she wants to sit on it. A cooler, shoes, a box, notebook, whatever. I think she'd sit on her food tray with all her food on it if we let her.

Okay, I remember now. Kaylee is so very proud of her belly button. She'll never pass on an opportunity to show it off to someone. The first thing she does when I take her clothes off is point it out to me - then she slaps her legs and butt a bunch of times as she runs around. She loves being naked - like most kids do, I'm sure. The other day I was with Kaylee at a gathering, and Kaylee proceeded to lift her shirt and show the lady next to us her bellybutton. The lady was very impressed and amused! I just think it's the cutest thing. I believe sometimes she is checking to make sure it's there - almost like she's worried that it might not be.

Well time to get ready. We got to pack up the van and get ready for a long drive ahead of us. We'll be stopping at Krispy Kreme for a good hearty breakfast! After that I promise to myself that I'll be good (for a few hours anyway) :)
