Oh and we all know she can say Ronan I never did mention how much she liked meeting her second cousin - saying his name over and over again all the way home. She feel asleep in the car and then woke up with saying his name and then plopped back asleep on a shoulder during transfer from the car - absolutely adorable how amazed and in love with another baby she was!

Yesterday she had a big day with playing with her 2 auties and uncle. She loved seeing them and there was a lot of showing off. She woke up to seeing K/M in the kitchen having dinner, after coming to snuggling with Daddy, she got up excitedly doing loop after loop around the kitchen and living room. She loved the attention! She showed Aunt B. how she walks around the house with her bowl on her head. Aunt B. gave Kaylee her cell phone and Kaylee promply began her jargoning conversations saying "hello" into her phone and slobbering onto it much to her horror.

Kaylee played with Play-doh with Grandma D. for the first time today. She loved using the play scissors, stamper and hammer that she had to go with it. She was very excited about Play-doh and it looks like we'll have to start doing that activity at home soon too! She squealed, smiled and looked very excited during the whole thing. It made me aware of how used to the process of doing an art project she is. She knows she should get her sleeves rolled up, she even seemed to know how to use a scissors. Sometimes when she knows things I haven't taught her it makes me realize just how much I am away from her and I feel a little sad - but then I wouldn't want her to not learn while I'm away from her, very obviously! She's got an artistic side for sure!

My last post was a little fast - I didn't mention how much it pleased Kaylee to get all those 5 objects named correctly. It was so cute to she her feel so accomplished. She put her hands together and sort of gave herself a hug, with a huge smile across her face. I think that was what REALLY made me excited about the experience. It's very promising that Kaylee likes to please others so much and be a "good girl." It should help us with some of these lessons we're trying to instill in her during her terrible two tantrum sessions.

Every dinner this past week has been very stressful because we are trying to teach her she needs to sit at the table with us while we eat. I make a good meal and everybody sits down, and she cries and cries; an angry cry the entire meal until we're finished. She barely takes a bit of food that's prepared for her. But we are trying to teach her eating happens at the same time everyday, and we don't graze on our food around the house. So it's important I'm hoping soon she will capitulate, calm down and eat her dinner. Plus sometime a baby's got to eat.

Kaylee likes a couple new foods. She likes sausages and bagels. She doesn't really eat the potstickers anymore so we are on a "break" from that food.

On the daycare front, her teacher was pretty nice when I met her - I only met her briefly. She is only in from 9-1 so it makes meeting her a challenge. She said Kaylee is a very good baby, good easy kid to take care of." She said things are going smoothly and there's no problem she can see with the transition which I was very glad to hear!
