The best thing she does is when she starts getting frustrated, she holds out her hands and screams "hug!" in a very short, quick way. Just letting us know that she needs to be held, and of course, we oblige.
Later on November 4, 2008
She just counted to three! "Un, Ooo, Eee."
November 4, 2008
A just joined me at the polls for her first election. She then proudly wore the sticker at Starbucks so I could get a free cup of coffee.
Sept 5, 2008
Life as we know it is done. She is walking. As in, take a few steps, pick something up, come back. And, room to room. Never too many steps and not a quick walker, but definitely a life shift for all of us. K is her cheerleader and applauds every time she takes a few steps.
August 30, 2008
She took 9 steps. NINE!!!!
July, 2008
She thinks she is talking and she does it all the time. Lots of cute noises and K just eggs her on by repeating the sounds to her. Makes me think they already have secrets that only sisters keep.
July 15, 2008
Two more teeth have cut through on the top in the last week. She still has a hard time with teething, so 6 down, 14 to go!
May 19, 2008
She climbed up the stairs. All of them. On her own. Both flights. Gates!!?!???!
May 13, 2008
We have TEETH! Finally those suckers are pokin' through. Looks like two coming in up top.
April 23, 2008
She said "Ball"!! She already does Momma and sometimes Dada. And, there is a specific yell she does for K. But the excitement on her face when she saw me come in with a beach ball, and she blurted it out. I almost cried.

SHE CRAWLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***This comment added later that day:
AND SHE PULLED HERSELF UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, dear. Help me.
January 30, 2008
The tooth has retreated and not come back to show its lovely self. The gums must have swollen up around it.
Still no forward crawl. . . . . .
January 23, 2008
WE HAVE A TOOTH! OK, so it is just a speck of white poking through, but it makes that "clink" noise on her spoon when she eats. So exciting!
And, keep posted. The crawl is about to happen. I am sure of it this time.
January 21, 2008
K&A had a sitter yesterday that hadn't been here in about a month. Here I was thinking that A hadn't changed much, but the sitter's mouth dropped open when she saw A sit on her own, roll over and over and over, "crawl", reach for her, eat solid foods, and try to eat Cheerios (some tries were successful, too!)
January 2, 2008
She still isn't crawling, but can move pretty well from one side of the room to the other just by rolling over. K keeps crawling around and around her to try and get her to move.
She also loves to pull hair. C is the only safe one in the house.
December 4, 2007
She is really working hard at crawling! She is much more comfortable on her tummy these days and is trying to reach the toys that K puts out in front of her. Of course, K loses patience and gives them to her after a few seconds. A will be 6 months in a few days. Time is surely flying by (but I wouldn't have said that a few months ago).
Conversations with K
June 29, 2009
K - Ow! Something is in my eye!
Mom - It was probably just your hair swingin' by, poking it then leaving.
K - Like the mailman?
Mom - huh?
K - Like the mailman. He comes, pokes the doorbell, then leaves.
January 8, 2009
She sounded out "coconut". Her first independently read word with three syllables! Pretty cool.
January 2-10, 2009
Over the radio, the commercial for Menards began, and K's ears really perked up. When it went from the music to the voice over advertising this week's special on drywall, K was upset. "I liked that song. I want to hear the whole thing!" For anyone who has heard that song, you know how annoying it is and will understand how hilarious this is.
She continues to listen for it and this evening, she started humming it and asked me to tell her the words so she can sing it.
I will post a clip of the song if I can find one.
November 10, 2008
K woke up with a funny voice this morning and asked, "Mommy, when will my mouth sound like my mouth again?"
October 2008
K: Mom, is my tongue shiny?
M: Of course, you are a healthy girl.
Later in the bathroom, K rubs a soapy hand on her tongue.
M: Is that how you think your tongue gets shiny?
K: Mmm Hmm.
Well, I guess the threat of washing her mouth out with soap won't work. She has already developed a craving for Olay soap. Nice.
September 2008
On Sunday K and I were roasting a chicken. She was painting on the olive oil and sprinkling on the herbs. I knew that there would be the inevitable conversation - not where do babies come from, but where does our food come from. We make chicky sounds as we prepare our dinner.
At dinner, she starts talking to the bird:
K: (In falsetto, as if she is speaking to a baby) Hello Chicky. This won't hurt, my teeth are soft. It's cozy in my tummy. Thank you for dinner.
This one way conversation with her food continued for about 5 minutes. Guess we don't have a vegetarian here.
July 2008
We are at a restaurant and a woman stops to tell us that we have a lovely family (we get this a lot and cannot hear it enough!). C goes on after we say our thank you's to tell her that we were at the zoo for the day and had a great time.
Woman: "Oh, I am jealous!"
We all smile and say our well wishes for a wonderful weekend.
K then asks "Did we know her?"
Mom: "No, we don't know her. She was being friendly."
K: "But her name is Jealous."
May 2008
Ongoing conversation
C&H: "K, are you listening?"
K: "huh?" (with a look on her face that is so cocky and innocent at the same time)
Welcome to three and a half.
April 2008
K: Mommy! I just pooped a poop.
K - Ow! Something is in my eye!
Mom - It was probably just your hair swingin' by, poking it then leaving.
K - Like the mailman?
Mom - huh?
K - Like the mailman. He comes, pokes the doorbell, then leaves.

K: Mommy! I just pooped a poop.
March 24, 2008
As A plays with a plastic spoon and thumps it on Daddy's face;
K: Look! A thinks Daddy's face is a bowl of soup!
March 1, 2008
Evidence of C's influence on K:
As she is playing with her Fisher Price people, they are pretending to run errands together. I assume that she will have them run the errands that we run together, but no.
"Let's go to the Apple Store!"
February 29, 2008
I look up from dinner to see what K is laughing about. She says, "Mommy, there is nothing in there" as she pulls on C's finger.
February 22, 2008
Mommy comes downstairs dressed in a suit for a job interview. K rarely even sees me with a shirt tucked in.
"Mommy, why are you wearing Daddy's clothes?"
January 21, 2008
K was priceless today. Two great quotes:
"She has a baby in her tummy!" "Just like when you had A in your tummy." "That's right. And you were in my tummy, too." "But I don't want to go back in your tummy. It was really dark."
#2 - "K, you aren't listening to me!" "What you said?"
December 2007
Here are some highlights of the last few weeks of 2007 -
"When I get really tall, I wanna be a baseball player. And a fighter fighter (fire fighter for those who don't speak preschoolerese)."
I was talking to C about when we should take down the tree. Since I was feeling particularly lazy on New Years' Day, I was telling him the story about the 3 Wise Men and technically, we can wait another 5 days in honor of their journey bringing gifts to the baby Jesus. "Cheeses! Where's the cheeses??"
December 12, 2007
K loves to sing. At the top of her lungs, usually. We can tell that her preschool is preparing for the holiday party since she is singing Christmas songs I have never taught her. Today was "Frosting the Snowman".
December 7, 2007
K has been having some issues with not being the baby anymore. The other day we brought up the high chair for A. She looked at it and said "When I grow up, I will be a baby!"
December 2, 2007
Mommy is pouting at the lunch table about something and not talking. K looks at Daddy
"I think she's dead."
"What?"
"I think she's dead. She needs new batteries."
Ahh, if it were that simple. . . .
A's Milestones
April 20, 2010
While eating tapioca, "I don't like these cotton balls."
The best thing she does is when she starts getting frustrated, she holds out her hands and screams "hug!" in a very short, quick way. Just letting us know that she needs to be held, and of course, we oblige.
Later on November 4, 2008
She just counted to three! "Un, Ooo, Eee."
November 4, 2008
A just joined me at the polls for her first election. She then proudly wore the sticker at Starbucks so I could get a free cup of coffee.
