Kyleigh turns ONE!

Baby girl is ONE already!  How does this happen!?

We celebrated her birthday over the weekend, and she's enjoying her presents.  I apologize for the lack of blog updates, I thought I was updating via mobile, but apparently it wasn't working!

Kyleigh- Age 1
29 1/2", 18 pounds 2 oz.

Likes:  Her pacifier (still), carbohydrates- crackers, cheerios, etc, dancing, pestering Micah, getting up early, showing off her walking skills, playing in water

Dislikes: Not getting fed fast enough, being buckled into her car seat, not being picked up when she wants

She's so much like Micah in some ways... She likes what she likes and will tell you if she doesn't like it.  She's ornery... and unlike her brother, she doesn't mind being in the center of attention.  Much to the pediatricians surprise, she hasn't really hit the stranger anxiety phase, she just likes people too much.  She's mastered her princess wave to all her court (the people shopping at Kroger, lol!) 

We had her one year pictures done by an old friend, Erin.  Kyleigh made Erin work for these smiles, I couldn't believe how serious she was!

 Here are a few favorites!

Kyleigh strikes again!

She took her first steps yesterday! :) 

Kyleigh, 11 months

Kyleigh sporting her 80s look!  She's 11 months already! How on earth is that possible! She's chatting, loves playing boo and actually loves being pestered by her brother. She thinks its funny, which makes it hard to explain to Micah why he should stop. She's starting to step between things where she lets go for a second. She has a big wide toothy grin when she's being silly.  

The many faces of our 10 month old!

Our sweet girl is 10 months old already! She is cruising and crawling like a maniac! She has 6 teeth already. Her favorite past times include getting into everything Micah is.... Pulling books off shelves and giggling endlessly. She eats like she means business!  She's a great kid!

To the Zoo! To the Zoo!

No seriously, we've been to the zoo.... twice! :)

Living it up this June!

Preschool 2012-2013

First day, August 2012

Last day, June 2013

Greetings!

Sorry it's been a couple of weeks... We've been busy.  Busy isn't even the right word.  Other than Friday, I'm pretty convinced the hubby is just a shadow that comes and goes... more going than coming.  Today he was gone 6a-6p, and 6:45 til... still not home (9:33...) He will be done with his Masters of Ministries on June 20th, not that I'm counting or anything. 

Micah is wrapping up his first year of preschool.  More on that later this week, complete with pictures, at least if I remember.... Capping hasn't been very successful.  :( He came down with a cold, now 11 days ago... still not really over it, as usual, it can last easily 2 weeks.) He has a size smaller trach now, so every little bit congests him. He's having trouble coughing and clearing his trach as easily as he did with the bigger size.  I hope we made the right decision, it's not a good feeling.  We still have not heard about his CT. One doc is out of the office, but I trust we'll hear soon. 

Kyleigh is  quite mobile... Unfortunately she's not getting worn out enough... She's been up multiple times a night here lately.  Please child, for the love of all things good and holy, SLEEP!  Otherwise she continues to roll with the punches, as I always hoped.  She's really hit the "in her brothers hair" stage.  She crawls up and stands next to him when he's playing.  So far he's not outright pushed her down, but he'll sort of push her out of the way with his elbow.  So it starts....
Here's a few Summer starter pics!

 Micah's favorite summer visit spot, the neighbor's "petting zoo"... (i.e. their 4-H animals... and more!)

 We took a fun trip to the Toledo Zoo a few weeks ago.  More pictures to come, but here's this darling one of Kyleigh and Aunt Mandy.
