Kylee will be 20 months old on Monday. She sure is growing fast! This past month Kylee has become very interested in Elmo. She likes to try hopping on one foot (which she saw on her Elmo movie) and tries doing headstands & other tricks. She loves asking Daisy & Duke if they want to go on a walk to the park. She grabs both of their leashes & asks, "Daisy? Duke? Walk? Park?"
Kylee likes to ask for "crackers butter" (crackers with peanut butter) but eats a bite or two & then throws them on the ground. She does the same thing with pretty much anything we give her to eat...and she thinks it is especially funny when the dogs eat the food that she has thrown. 3/4 of her time-outs are for throwing her food on the ground or giving it to the dogs. Kylee had a few more "biting incidents" this month. It's really hit-and-miss with her, but she bites the same 2 or 3 kids. She seems to only bite when she is teething though. I'm hoping that the rest of her teeth come in soon, so her biting will hopefully stop!
Kylee loves throwing trash away. In fact, tonight we went to Costco to eat dinner & she was walking all over trying to find things to throw away. She loves her baths (there aren't many houses here that have bathtubs, so we got lucky!) & likes to splash, play, and swim during her baths. She also likes to put her ear to the water while yelling, so that she can hear the difference in her voice. Bubble baths are Kylee's favorite. When we ask "Who do I love?" she yells "KYLEE!" She loves smelling flowers & says "Mmm, good!" while smelling them. Reading books is one of our favorite things to do together. Most of the time, Kylee wants me to get in her cardboard house with her when we read. There's one book that shows a little boy swimming under the water, with his mom's hand reaching out to grab his. Every time we get to that page, Kylee looks at me, smiling, & says "hand", then grabs my hand. It melts my heart.
This month Kylee has become a huge fan of pineapple. She also knows the word "Coke". Hmmm...I wonder who she learned that one from. :) Kylee had her first Ring Pop this week & it was a big hit! Kylee has regressed in a few areas. Last month, I wrote that she can count to 4. Well, now her new way to count is, "1,2....6!" No matter how many times we correct her, she counts that way. She also only sleeps in her "big girl bed" some nights now. She has no problem walking around her room in the dark...so she either falls asleep in her "big girl bed" right away, or wanders around her room until we hear her & stick her in her Pack 'n Play.
Kylee has heard me yell for Daisy when I see a bug. Lincoln sprayed the house a few weeks ago & when Kylee sees a dead bug now, she yells, "Daisy...BUG!" She loves to turn off the tv if we aren't watching one of "her shows". She knows how to climb up the slide at the park in our coto all by herself now. Kylee has fallen in love with our next-door neighbors, Robbie & Montse. She asks Montse to hold her, calls her Mommy & started scratching her back the other day. I've never seen her do that before. She loves to say Robbie's name all day long. If she hears someone outside she says, "Robbie?" or will just randomly say "Hi, Robbie! Bye, Robbie!" It cracks us up. Kylee is more interested in photos now & loves to name the people in them. She even knows that the baby in her baby pictures is Kylee. We think she is so smart. :)
Kylee tried the elote (corn) we made the other night. Our friend Montse showed us how to put mayo, lime juice, salt & chili powder on it. We LOVE it & so does Kylee!

Kylee loved to sit on the cupboard shelves in the kitchen before they were torn out...
We caught her making funny faces at us through the sliding glass door the other day.
(I didn't even notice the paint splatters on the door until I took this picture. Ha ha.)
Kylee is VERY good at folding her arms for prayer. However, once the prayer starts, she usually runs around & yells "Amen" in the middle of it. We are so proud of her good example of how to start the prayer though. :)
I posted this pic for 2 reasons. #1, so you can see her hair. It cracks me up. I have no idea what to do with it. #2, so that you can get a glimpse of what she goes to sleep with. Here you can see her pillow, two blankets, Bee, Kitty & Bear. Not pictured are her two babies, 2 or 3 books, and both of her Pooh Bears. She has to have ALL of those things in bed with her or she won't go to sleep. She notices which ones are gone & asks for them if they aren't all there!
Kylee loves to clean things. She is constantly grabbing baby wipes to wipe things down. This time she decided her car needed a nice wash...
She gets very scared/nervous/excited when the big gas trucks drive by. Here she is watching one from the roundabout park...
Just had to include a picture of her jewelry...
Wrestling with Dad...
(Daisy is jealous.)
Kylee loves to wear Mommy & Daddy's shoes. She does better in these heels than I do, I think!
Can't wait to see how this little girl learns & grows this month!

I love your new kitchen! And as always, I can't believe how cute Kylee is. I could look at pictures and read your posts about the smart, funny things she says forever! We miss you all so much and can't wait for you to come in June. Just so you know , we are going to spoil Kylee rotten while she's here so that she'll have lots of memories to take home with her! (we'll spoil you too!). Love you, have a great week, mom
