long awaited update!

I know I know I have been horrible at this!! But Greg is a basketball coach and it keeps us busy busy. It IS basketball season! Kyndie has been developing a lot!! She can say several things and she is ornery than ever! She can say thank you, bye bye, no, go, get, mama, dada, hot, yes, this, see, eye, I, love, dog, alice, nannie, papa. That's all I can think of at the moment, but I know she says more. She shakes her head yes and no and usually answers correctly. If you tell her no she will look at you and shake her head no. She is walking really well and is getting some of her back teeth. She gives kisses and she will kiss her monkey. She tries to run from us sometimes but hasn't yet mastered that. She makes this face that we call her "Alice face" if you ask her to make the "Alice face" she will. She has this book that she really likes and it's called Alice the Fairy. In this book "Alice" is making a pouty(sp?) face and Kyndie will do it. If you ask her to go get her Alice book she will go get it and bring it to you. The same with any other book you ask her to go get. She can put her coat on with a little bit of help and she can take it off. She is very independent and doesn't really want me trying to help her. She gets upset if you try to. She wants to feed herself and she doesn't want it cut up for her. She wants to take bites off of it. Usually if I am standing there watching her and it's not something she will choke on easily I will let her. She does really well. She can blow her nose and she tries to wash her face herself. She is very very busy and into absolutely everything. Of course I have pictures!!

Birthday Party!!!

Ok I know that this is sooo late!! But I'm getting it here now. Kyndie's birthday party was a hit!! Tons of people showed up and Kyndie made out like a bandit!! She didn't tear into her cake or presents like I thought and hoped that she would, but it was still fun!! Kyndie has added new words to her vocabulary. Her vocabulary includes: Get, Dog, Kitty, mama, dada, daddy, horse, nannie, no, uh uh, and uh huh. I think that's it, there may be more, but I can't think of them right now. She also loves to shake her head no and yes, but mostly no. I'm pretty sure that when she shakes her head yes, she understands what you asked and knows what she's answering. Twana told me yesterday that she took two steps twice, but I have yet to see it. She doesn't want to perform for me. Well here are the pictures and a video...





































Ok well this is all of the pcitures that I had time to put on here. There are a ton of them and I think these are the best ones we got!

Birthdays. Halloween, and Other Stuff...

So after weeks of searching and pondering I have finally found Kyndie a Halloween costume. Here is a little preview...


Kyndie's 1st birthday is on the 10th and her party is on the 11th. We are having a double party with her cousin, who is 3 days older than her. I can't wait! I thing that it is going to be so much fun! I can't wait to see her tear into her cake and her presents!

She is still climbing up things. The other night at about 4 in the morning I heard a big thump and then Kyndie crying. I jumped out of bed and she is laying in the middle of the floor. Last thing I remember is falling asleep with her in our bed. But the way she was looks like she came from her bed. I think that Greg put her in her bed and she climbed out and fell in the floor. She wasn't hurt just a little startled. Greg says he doesn't remember putting her in her bed, but he had to because she didn't fall from our bed. We lowered her mattress to the lowest it will go, if she gets our of that then I guess it will be time for a toddler bed.

On another note I made my first cake for a paying customer. I made a cake for a baby shower at the school the other day and it was a BIG hit!







We took Kyndie to the fair and she seemed to have a good time. I think it will be more fun when she is old enough to understand what is going on. Well her are some more pics and a video.




This is Kyndie being busy busy, but I found it hilarious!

Miss Busy Body

Our little girl is sooo stinking busy!! But she is soo funny!! She is into absolutely everything that she can get her tiny hands on! She has also discovered something that is new and fun...climbing!! She climbs on everything that she can hoist her fat little legs onto. She climbs on her toys, she climbs in the cabinets and drawers, she climbs onto chairs, and has even attempted to climb the entertainment center. She also tried to climb onto the couch, but she was trying to do that by scooting an empty diaper box to the couch and standing on it, but it collapsed under her 22 pounds of chunky! She is a smart little booger we definetly have to keep a close eye on her. Ohh and the fits she throws when she doesn't get her way! We sure do have our work cut out for us! I guess we are being paid back for all the horrors we did to our parents. I love every minute of it though and sometimes I even laugh, but not for her to see because I don't want her to think it's a game. She has also learned how to turn the satellite on and off and does it on a daily basis. She tries to be sneaky about it, but I know what those chunky fingers are fixing to do, just at the moment I say "NO Kyndie!" She pushes it real fast and then grins with her big 2 tooth grin. I don't think my heart could swell anymore with pride. Oh how I love that little stinker!! I guess though she does have her mommas attitude! I will have to get a picture of her poking the button on the satellite and believe me it won't be that hard. Until then here are some pictures of her being a busy body.

Such a little stinker! I love this picture!

yes she did climb in this chair by herself, like I said, she's a climber!

Kyndie the little toot!

Kyndie finally got her teeth!! 2 teeth on the bottom and I think she is getting 3 more I think. She is ornery (sp?) as ever!! She is into hitting when she doesn't get what she wants, but she gets her hand slapped when she does this. She's a little stinker. Not walking yet, but hopefully soon!! Her birthday is coming up and I have been preparing like crazy!! Her theme is bumblebee's and I can't find anything, so I am having to make them, but I have a feeling that it is going to turn out wonderful! We are doing a double party with her cousin Collin who is just 3 days older than her. I will put another update with pictures of the things that I have already made. Well here are some pictures!
