Kaylee is of course showing off for all the family and enjoying the attention. It's really fun that she has been more adventurous with food lately and will try more things. Also, she can say so many things and even makes jokes for everyone - it makes for a good get-together! Our little socialite. For my family, she'd come into the room and smile a huge smile at everyone, beaming "HI GUYS!" and then she'd leave the room, look over her shoulder saying "Bye, Guys!" She is picking up new words all the time and sometimes I am shocked I know I didn't teach her it and that I might never even say whatever it is. Recently, she pointed to my "necklace." Also, her newest favorite thing to say is "Okay" and "Not okay." She loves to ask for something and uses "okay" as a way to try to get something or convey excitement. "Mommy, can I have a cookie?" and before I do anything she says with a smile "Okay, okay okay!" Also she reprimands the dogs by saying that what they're doing (even if it's nothing) is "Not Okay-yuh!" (Okay for her is three syllables) She must have learned this at daycare because we don't ever say "Not okay." She also says that they're "Not nice" and we try to explain you only say you have a problem with something if the dogs are doing something bad and have spent more times letting her pet them and talk nice with them. All she knows is this is a sure-fire way to exercise her newfound ability to have authority over someone, since the terrible twos are all about exerting their independence.
Kaylee is quite the little lady. She still enjoys trying on all her shoes and parading around the house. And now she also wants to make sure she has her "Pony Ta-yule" (ponytail) on her head at all times. She cries when we take it out to give her a bath, she's so used to it now. (As you remember, it is necessary because of her hair-twirling habit.) She also loves to try on other people's shoes, and since her grandparents are here has enjoyed stomping around the house in them. Kaylee has also started to want to be able to choose her own clothes, and since that's not really possible or time-efficient I give her two shirts to choose from each day - by far she chooses the green shirts always. This is her new favorite color. She also would love it if I let her try out my make-up and gets very upset that I don't share with her. She likes to take my blush brush and swipe her face. Kaylee is still trying to figure out how to dress herself and loves wrapping herself in my pajamas, ending up with them around her neck for the most part. She loves to carry around a little panda, monkey or baby around and wrap them up in her little washclothes. She tells them "Sh,shh. Nite-Nite." I reach to tell the baby "nite-nite" and she says "No!" and then I say "Oh I forgot you're the Mommy." and she nods at me "Yey-yah." I'm amazed that at this age, she's already showing her gender characteristics so clearly without any prodding on our part at all. She has her share of boy toys and she loves them as well though. She's loving her new train set she got for Christmas. Her "choo, choo Trey-ane."
My little lady is growing up so fast! My goodness...and here comes 2010!
