Kiley can Sign

So apparently my wife has forgotten my maturity level or she was tired and thought I was being nice by taking care of something. We received an email from Kiley's teacher (starts "school" next week) with a few basic questions, I threw together my answers and sent it to my wife, who was at some social club meeting. She glanced over it, and was about to send to the teacher, before she finished it. That nearly bit her in the ass. 

Teachers Email:

Parents,

As I am preparing and thinking about your children, there are a few things that would be helpful to know before we start school.  

1. Is your child walking?
2. Does your child use sign language?

If you would please take a moment to respond back to me I would appreciate it.  I hope to see you all on Friday

-Teacher

My Response:

You want to take this or should I. 

Walking: YES

Sign Language: Yes

right index Finger to Open palm = "More"

Right or left hand moving in circular motion on upper chest area = "please"

Hand in a waving motion (usually accompanied with the words all done) = "all done"

Running away when asked to do something or is needed = "Bitch, I do what I want"

-12 Year old Dad

Happy 16 months!

Happy 16 months! Oh where has time gone my little love?! You are quickly turning into a toddler, not a baby anymore.

Your favorite thing to do is play "run away." Whenever it's time to get dressed or anything, you start giggling and run the other way. You think it's the best time and so funny (actually its darling expect when we are in a hurry to get out of the house.) Of course Daddy is was more fun playing the game and stops his feet and makes his arm wide chasing you- and of course you love it! You also run away any time you grab something you aren't suppose to, little rascal!

You love all things girly- especially purses and credit cards. Daddy thinks you take after mommy a little too much :) Your current favorite purse is my LV diaper bag and you drag it all around the house. You also love your bows. If you find one you always bring it and ask for more.

You currently have 5 teeth and hopefully more are coming in soon.

You are small for your age and still wear 12 month clothes and wear size 4 diapers. You fit the 3 but it tends to leak so we moved you up.

You gave up your evening bottle at 15 months so now mommy has a deep freeze still filled with breastmilk that now needs to be donated.

You are such a little sleeper and we love it! You sleep from 7:30pm until 8am, take a morning nap from 9-10:30 or 11 and an afternoon nap from 1-3:30 or 4.

You eat like a champ and hardly don't eat something- you even were eating my salad at lunch. And of course you always want "more" food at each meal. Lately, each morning daddy gets you up and gets your breakfast served while you sit on the couch. After you eat your bowl of berries, you eat half of his waffles or whatever he is having, while y'all watch cartoons. Your Daddy loves his time with you :)

You are a social butterfly and love other little kids. We had music today and you hardly sat in mommies lap but rather went around hugging other moms and kids and dancing in the middle of the circle. Sweet girl! you love to "dance" and move up and down, bobbing your head- cracks us up!

You are great at entertaining yourself. You love just exploring the house with your different toys in different rooms and play very happily.

You love Lady! You love to cuddle with her (although she might not always be thrilled with you throwing yourself on her). You love to get her tennis ball and play fetch with her. And she likes to follow you, and you think she is chasing you. You giggle, giggle, and giggle some more :)

Your favorite three sign language words are- more, please and all done. Your lo have a large vocabulary and are learning new words all the time.

It is also amazing how much you truly understand. You are starting to test the waters to see what you can get away with, so needless to say time out has begun. You don't get it very often because you usually obey but sometimes you chose not to listen. Your currently favorite "testing the waters" is when we say no touchy, you will take one finger and barely touch it with a little smirk on your face- little stinker!

Over the last 2 months you truly have grown up so much! You are the light of our lives and we love you more than the world! Thank you Kiley for making our family so much more perfect :)

Beaver Creek

Next trip- Beaver creek! We are spending two weeks here and
having an amazing time. The weather is beautiful and the view breath taking. We have been spending time hiking, fly fishing, relaxing poolside, shopping and other various activities. We are having a blast!




Hot Tubbing



Playing in the park


Hiking


Please buy Daddy!!!!






A concert












And lots of cuddle time

Broadmoor!

We spent a few days at the Broadmoor and had an amazing time! It's such a beautiful property and one of our favorites to stay at.



We spent much of the days lounging poolside.





















We celebrated Elizabeth and Chad tying the knot!




We had the best time and made many memories!

A Happy 4th indeed!!!

We were originally suppose to spend the 4th in Colorado at the Broadmoor but plans changed because of Lews work. We are heading out tomorrow and we can't wait! We still had an amazing 4th of July in Abilene! Kiley and I rode in the parade this morning, followed by neighborhood house parties and naps in between for everyone :) She loved the bounce house and eating her hearts content in Watermelon and of course spending time with her sweet cousins and HaHa and Ace!

Happy 4th of July!!!!!








Last year versus This year!







We also had our first booboo :( She face planted and knocked her head along with taking a chunk out of her little nose. Poor baby.

Summer Fun!

This summer we have spent lots of time poolside, playing outdoors and eating watermelon and popsicles! It's been such a fun summer so far and Kiley just loves the water. We had her in swim lessons at the beginning to teach her basics of holding her breath, grabbing the wall, floating on her back etc. So glad we did that- makes me have a little less anxiety around the pool with a baby ;)


And here goes picture over load....





























































And a little finger paint in the mouth- ha!











Thanks to Daddy for giving her a tattoo!

14 month update

So clearly I'm way behind on blogging but here are a few things you are up to at 14 months......

You are walking! You have conquered getting up and walking everywhere and you prefer to walk now. Daddy and I call you a drunken baby because of how you wobble. You are very determined and get right back up when you fall. Go Kiley!


You just got your 5th tooth! Knock on wood but we are yet to experience teething problems with you.

You love to cuddle and give hugs and kisses. You are so sweet and love on anyone- even strangers! We went shopping yesterday at LuLulemon and you walked right over and sat in a guys lap. No Stranger danger for you ;)

You are very talkative and say over 15 words atleast
Baby
Dog
Please
No,no,no

Dirty
Pop poo
Dada

And others...

You are such a good eater and always want more! Never fails. I swear you eat more than some adults. You eat three times a day with a snack and a bottle of breakmilk at night.

You are such a good little sleeper :) you sleep from 7:30pm-8:00 am and still take two naps, morning 9-10:30, and afternoon 1-3:30

You love babies, cell phones and your cozy coupe.





You have such a little personality and Let us know what you want :)




We love you to the moon and back!!!
