Kallie's 2 birthday

What?! I totally forgot to blog this! Ooops! ;)

We had a great time at Kallie's birthday- it was small and simple. I am so comfortable with how the girls' parties have been up until now..... I think I'll be in shock once they start inviting friends. It will no longer be the quiet, small parties like usual. HA! But that's ok :)

I had fun decorating for this one- the biggest decoration was the lemonade stand. Kent did a great job building it and Kensley got to "help"... which she was really proud of. It turned out to be really big! But it'll grow with the girls and they'll have an awesome lemonade stand to set out when they're older! ;)




Now, to update on miss Kallie's milestones/developments. I am posting this a few weeks AFTER her 2nd birthday.
STATS: 28.8lbs | 34.5"

FOODS:
{loves}
- yogurt - if she could, she'd eat this all day, I think! She loves the gogurts and the drinkable yogurts.
- oreos - yea, she loves these. As do I. These are a hot item in this house.
- oatmeal - she says "moat-meal". She eats this for breakfast a lot.
- waffles - I get the blueberry kind. She'll tell you "waf-wah".
- PB&J - I can't remember what she says here. It's a little much for her to say it all- I think she just tries to say "peanut"... she loves eating this-- or better yet, she loves helping make hers. She goes and gets her chair to stand in at the island and she spreads away.
- Schlotsky's - she loves the cheese pizza there and their turkey sandwiches. I usually can always get her to eat good there! And it just so happens I love that place, too. So it's a win/win!
- milk - She loves her milk! There's days where she may drink 30oz. :/ We went to the dr for her two year checkup and she said we needed to cut that back to 24oz, max. So she was cut off at 2 cups this morning (a total of 20oz).


THINGS SHE LOVES TO DO
- Play outside - She loves playing outside. She and Kensley have a little house on the back patio and they spend a LOT of time out there. All of their toys end up out there.
- Watch TV - she doesn't watch a ton of it, but she does enjoy it. (what kid doesn't, right?!) Right now, she and Kensley are into Princess & the Frog. Disney played it the other day and I DVR'd it. They had never seen it before- now we watch it every.morning. Poor Strawberry has been replaced. ;)
- Play pretend - she loves to make you food at her kitchen and bring stuff to you to eat. After Kent finished the lemonade stand, that was the popular kitchen area ;)
- run around naked - I don't know why my children prefer to be naked or just wear panties/diapers?! But she's following in Kensley's footsteps, that's for sure. She's working on potty training, too- so it's actually nice to have her naked or just run around in panties.
- dancing with Kensley - she and Kensley love holding eachother's hands and spinning around dancing. One of those moments that melt my heart :)
- bath time!- she loves bathtime! They take all their little toys in with them and play with those--- along with pouring water over eachother's heads. The giggles that come from the bathroom are priceless.

WORDS (the Dr. told me to write down the words she was saying because I am worried about her speech. She has been having ear infections a lot and I'm worried that's why she isn't talking well at all yet. She's on her 3rd antibiotic for one ear infection we can't seem to kick. Praying this one will knock it out so she can be a happy little girl again!)

*I'll be adding, hopefully. I may use this as my list to show the dr on her followup.

March Madness!

No, I am not referring to basketball ;) I'm not sure what I'm referring to actually--- just the fact that it's been close to a month since I've blogged. Lots has gone on!

Kallie:
She is almost TWO! T-W-O. Crazy! She's still not talking very well. She's getting better, but still a ways to go. She has a pretty tough temper. If she doesn't like something, she'll tell you- (by screaming and throwing a fit). I guess since she still can't talk really well, she gets her frustrations out by just yelling and going crazy?! *and this too, shall pass* Other than our communication struggles, she is so much fun. Her little smile melts my heart and the way she loves her sister (for the most part) is sweet. Anything Kensley wants, she'll go get for her (Kensley knows how to work that, too). ;) As far as eating- she could eat oatmeal all day, every day. Seriously. She'll tell you she wants "moat-meal". lol and "cock-cet meal". She loves her chocolate milk (in limited quantities!) Here are some pictures we took for her invitations and party.




Kensley:
She keeps us smiling every day. She is full of spunk and has her days/moments that are full of attitude. She is big into "friends". She likes to tell you if you're her friend or not. She tells us she does (or doesn't) like someone. She came home today from the park with Kent and told me some boy was at the play ground and she did not like him. He was bothering her. She did not want him to bother her. HA! Kent said both of the girls were little turds to the little boy. :/
And here's miss Kensley in her sweet state. ;)


And last weekend, Kent built the girls a lemonade stand. I wanted to have it for Kallie's birthday party--- the girls love it!




The weekend is almost over. Church in the morning and then we get to see family for lunch! This week we get to have Whitney, Hailey & Harper over for a few days. We are SO excited!!!!
