Meeting a new friend
Our friends Jerad and Jacque welcomed their new daughter to the world recently. We went over to meet baby Elin yesterday. She is so tiny and adorable. Kayla had fun playing with Ellie while I took pictures of Elin. Kayla and Ellie have this habit of going in Ellie's room to play and shutting the door so we can't see them. Next thing we know they come out with chocolate all over their faces! Then Ellie kicked the dog out and said dogs are not allowed in her room because "they slobber and piss everywhere!" That kid cracks me up. I guess you never know what a 4 year old is going to say! I know these girls will have a lot of fun growing up together. I will be posting the new pics on my site soon.

2 Year Check-up
Kayla had her check-up yesterday and she is now 34 1/2" tall (60%) and 26 lbs (40%).
She likes to play "Doctor" at home so when we got there I told her we were going to play doctor. As soon as she realized where she was she said, "I don't wanna play doctor." She actually did really well and was such a big girl. She let the Dr. poke around and do what he needed to do. She does have a slight ear infection. She had to get one shot and that was the only time she cried. I picked her up right after she got it and she was crying. I asked her if she was ready to go home and she replied YES without hesitation! The nurse promised her a Dora and Thomas sticker and when she gave it to Kayla, she looked at Daddy and said that's not Thomas! (It was another train).
She is getting so big and it amazes us how smart she is. It's probably hard for some to beleive because she is shy around other people, but she talks a lot! She honest to God sang her whole ABC's all by herself, can count to 10, knows almost all of the primary colors and knows the words to songs I don't even know. I have to credit some of this to her babysitter. She has the best babysitter ever. She works with the kids everyday teaching them things, reading, and singing songs. She can name all the kids at daycare (including the dog) and when she sees pictures of her friends Ellie, Jase, Owen, Eli, Hannah, Marcus, and Ally she tells me all of their names. She's even starting to learn comparison. Last night she said Mommy you got a big glass and I got a little one! She also is become quite the fashion DIVA. I was getting her dressed this morning and I went to put a pair of shoes on her. She got mad and said, No mommy those's ones dont match! (They really did though, like I would have her not match.hehe)
One last thing...Kayla made me the happiest mommy in the world this weekend. She was sitting on Daddy's lap and said "I wanna sit with Mommy", and he goes "why?" and kayla says... "because i love her"
Doesn't get any better than that folks ;-)

Kayla has a new doll that you can really feed and then you have to change her diaper because she goes poo and potty. (Fun stuff..lol)

Party Time ~ Sesame Street Style!
For Kayla's birthday my mom helped me make Sesame Street cupcakes. It's a good thing her party was in the afternoon because it literally took me all day. I started out making the eyes with candy wafers. We even made the batter different colors too by separating it out and adding food coloring to each bowl. I used lots of different candy's and coconut to make them look furry. I thought they turned out pretty cute:-)
Zoe
Oscar
Elmo
Cookie Monster

Thanks everyone for coming and celebrating Kayla's second birthday with her! She got really wound up later and I know she had a great time. Thank you to those who sent gifts and birthday cards too! She loves getting mail!

Happy 2nd Birthday Kayla!
SESAME STREET LIVE!!!
Kayla turned two today and she got to spend her birthday at Sesame Street Live in Omaha. Grandma Smith and Grandma Connie went with us to see Elmo and the Gang. Kayla loved it! She sat on Daddy's lap almost the whole time and just stared at them in awe, it was so cute. She couldn't take her eyes off of them. We had really good seats and a lot of the monsters came by during the show and she got to see them up close. I think it's safe to say she had a great time.
It's hard to believe it's already been 2 years, hope you had a wonderful birthday. We love you so much!
Kayla got a birthday hug from Zoe during the show!!
Waving at Super Grover!
Lovin' the cotton candy :-)
