Our weekend

We had a fun weekend. Friday night the neighbors came over iwth their 5 kids and we all watched the season finale of "So you think you can Dance." Kaylee put on a show for them, dancing and spinning. They of course thought she was hilarious. She was so excited to have people over, she didn't stop the entire time. As soon as they left, she fell into a deep sleep.

The next day my parents gave Eric and I a break. We went on a date. We saw a movie and had dinner out, then ice cream. It felt really good to just be us. And I miss her a bit less when I felt she needed me so much the first year. She seems more independent now. She didn't fuss at all when we left. She looked up blew us a kiss and said "Bye" and went back to playing with Grandma and Grandpa. We thought she was going to go straight to sleep when we got home because she didn't sleep that afternoon (she did nap in the am instead), but then she surprised us by staying up until 11! I think the storms had something to do with it. Also the novelty of being in the basement during a tornado drill.

Sunday we had a kick-back day. Did art time, went grocery shopping and took her to the park. She tired herself out real good and slept through the night. A great beginning to a new week!

New words:
"Stop it" after I say it to her. Mimicing. Like when I say it as she throws her food off her highchair tray.
"Hot" and she blows on her food
"Soup" for ramen noodles
"Angel" for the name of the dog across the street

Another new thing, Eric thinks she has suddenly improved on walking backwards as well.

Have a great day!
