Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes :)

Kayleigh has been showing off her stuff lately :)  We've been practicing "where's..."  We are getting pretty good with the following: hair, eyes, nose, ears, mouth, tongue, teeth.  But the best one of all...belly button!!!  She gets a kick out of that one.  She loves finding everyone else's too :)  So...needless to say, please hear my apologies now if my daughter decides to look for YOUR belly button!  :)

Where did time go?  I miss my little baby!  I love my little girl just the same, but where did the time go?  I love how you make daddy and I laugh.  You are such a goofy girl and I wouldn't change anything for the world!  I love how you study things, how you enjoy everything, how you are you!  I love who you are turning into!  I just wish I could remember it all!  I love you, Kayleigh! 

Subtitles

I would love to invent some sort of "remote" to be able to obtain subtitles to what my toddler is rambling!  She knows what she's saying...but mom and dad are clueless!

Ideas!?!?!

Anyone have any good ideas on being creative with a 14 month old?  I need some new things to do to entertain, teach, occupy my little one's time.  I have been working 4-10 hour days (that may change) and with that being said, I'd like to educate my little one while I'm home.  However, keeping that active little one engaged is the problem.  We've purchased, be given, etc, every toy you could think of, have tons of books, we have crayons and coloring books, we have (and I absolutely love) the AquaDoodle Pad.  But I need some new and fresh ideas to work with Kayleigh.  Please...anything would be great (and nothing is dumb!!!)!!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance!!

Goofy Girl!!!

So, Kayleigh has been in a chipper mood.  I love it when she's happy (which is most of the time).  But it's so much fun watching her dance to music.  Finding anything and everything in the house that plays music, just so she can dance.  And when she dances...SHE DANCES!!!  Sometimes with arms in the air, sometimes spinning, and definately squatting.  She's funny!  I LOVE IT!!! 

Lately, we have been "chasing" each other through the house.  She loves giggling when we get close.  Always with the taunts of "I'm going to get you!!!" Which usually is followed with a high pitch squeal! 

And...everything thing that falls will be followed with an "UH OH!!!!!!"  Even if it is on purpose.  Today, while and Grandma Mary and Grandpa Karl's we were on an "UH OH!!!!!" kick...with probably 25 "UH OH!!!!!!!!"'s in a row!!  Many of those UH OH's were for no reason at all...she just wanted to say it :) 

The last few weeks or so she has been trying to get friendly with the cats.  Our cat's mind you are tempermental.  So, we've been trying to teach nice pets...instead of grabs or smacks...since the cats aren't so sure of Kayleigh anyway.  However, the last few weeks we've been experiencing hugs for the cats.  It's quite cute and the cats tolerate it!  SO...go for it Kayleigh, hug away!!!!  And at Grandma Mary and Grandpa Karl's she tried to "ride" the big fat cat...too funny!!! 

And the most exciting and fun thing she's been doing...Hugs and Kisses.  We can ask for a hug or a kiss and she's more than willing to do it!  I'm sure I'm probably going to wear out my Hugs and Kisses, and she'll get annoyed with me asking all the time, but I do enjoy when she runs through the room and jumps into my arms to give me a big hug :) 

Oh Kayleigh, we love you so much!!!!

Teething

So, we went to pick up Kayleigh from daycare today and she is in total "drama queen" mode!  Both teachers comment..."Yea, she's been a little "emotional" all day.  We think she's teething."  Kayleigh looks up and automatically shoves her thumb to the back gums.  Mind you, she's not a thumb sucker, so that's not what she was doing.  We grabbed her blankie and binkie and she was perfect!  Poor baby!!! 

Not that I want to jinx our house over the next few days, weeks, months...but Kayleigh's a pretty good teether...4 in less than a week for her first ones.  So...please, please, please...let this go as easily as the first!

So...anyone have good home remedies, tricks or stories of their little ones teething!?! 

Day ONE on the blog

Hey everyone!!!  I've been reading multiple posts over the last year or so, but now decided to try one out for our family.  I guess I should introduce myself.  I'm Megan.  I'm Kayleigh's mama!  Steve (Kayleigh's dada, and my super hubby) and I will try and keep up on the going's on of our toddler's comings and goings :) Thanks for stopping by :)
