4th of July FUN!

I finally took Kaylee to the splash pad by my parents house. She wasn’t sure about it at first, but then other kids came and she realized what she was supposed to do and didn’t want her parents help navigating. Jon was so cute walking around with her in his clothes until she got brave enough to run around by herself. She LOVED every second of it!


Ever the fashion queen she wouldn’t let me take off her jewelery. I guess she felt like being patriotic even if the jewelery didn’t match her suit. I love the picture of her mid laugh. 🙂

Kaylee had a blast at her second 4th of July. She LOVES being outside and loves noise and crowds (unless there is loud clapping). I was worried that she wouldn’t like the really loud fireworks (we were much farther away last year), but she was laughing and just mesmerized the entire time. She also got her first taste of milk popsicles. It just wouldn’t be summer without those yummy homemade treats. Jon says they taste like frozen egg nog. I think he liked them… Angie got to try one as well and said the same thing.


Mom, Barry, and Dad. Yaya and Kaylee.

Randomness…

My grandparents went to Ireland and all they got me was this onesie… and a for my collection porcelain doll and the best pen EVER! The pen has a light, a stamp, and bubbles! I love it so much it goes everywhere with me. Thanks Papa and Yaya so much for thinking of me while you were on vacation. – xoxox Kaylee Isabella


Daddy daughter time.


Jon’s 27th b-day party. Thank you everyone who came to help us celebrate.


Video from Jon’s actual b-day. My parents came up so we had a cake for Jon. Don’t mind the singing (I can’t sing and you can mostly hear me, sorry.)

15 months old today and skiny as ever.

O.k. so my kid just will not gain weight!
These are her stats from her 12 month check:

weight: 16 lbs. 15 oz. 2%, height: 27 3/4 in. 13 %.

These are from her 15 month check that we just came from:

weight: 17 lbs. 5 oz. .34%, height: 28 1/4 in. 3%.

She eats more than I do! Seriously ask anyone who has spent more than one meal at our house. People are always amazed at just how much she eats. She really should be a little porker. We have had our neighbor David (15) staying with us this last week and even he is shocked that she lost weight with how much she eats. I told him I was hoping she would be closer to 18 lbs… Oh, did I forget to say she was 17 lbs 9 oz two weekends ago. Jon and the nurse weighed her at my last O.B. appointment while I was in the bathroom. We eat healthy, but she gets plenty of good fats. Milk, Cheese, Yogurt, all sorts of meat,…. Plus she loves ice cream, popcorn and chips and eats those whenever they happen to be around. I don’t know… I just can’t seem to keep up with her extra super fast metabolism. She is just so her Daddy’s daughter! So I have to take her back in a month for a weight check. Other than her doctor being concerned (for the very first time) about her weight she is doing great. She has so many words (newest is UP said like bup), climbs like a monkey, and is just so much fun and too cute for words. She likes to give squishes (hugs), and blow kisses. She doing so many new things everyday it’s hard to even remember to write it all down. I love how like a sponge she is with everything!
