Kailinisms

I have really been having a lot of fun with Kailin lately and the funny things she does. I wanted to document these so when we are having a rough day I can read them and remember how sweet she really is. The other day we were in the car and Kailin was trying to sing her abc's. She was doing really good at first this is kindof what it was like "a,b,c,d,e,oooo,mm,oooo,ho,ho,ho,santa,santa,funny,ha,ha,a,b,c,d,e,b,birthday,s,s,s,s,s,snowman,snowman." I was laughing so hard I couldn't help it. At least I know she can sing a-e successfully.

Kailin thinks it is really funny when she or anyone farts to say "Toots" and laugh. So Craig was telling me he laid her down for a nap and a few minutes later was outside of her door looking at our DVD's trying to decide what to watch. He passed gas and immediately heard Kailin start laughing a deep belling laugh while saying toots, toots, funny. She is so funny it cracks us up.

She is really a sweet girl. I am excited for her to have a baby brother to see how she interacts with him. We often have dance parties at our house and this morning while dancing she went over and grabbed her baby doll and started dancing with her . While dancing I looked at her and she was also singing to her baby while patting and rubbing her back.

She loves Jesus and anytime we eat makes sure we say prayers.

She also love Santa and is disappointed, really disappointed when we go to the store and there are no longer Santa decorations.

She currently says a lot of words, who knows how many probably around 75-100. Her most recent are basketball, football, touchdown,and repeating every last word we say.

I know this post is a lot of things about her but like I said at first I wanted to document some things I love about her.

Merry Christmas!!

So one day I do plan on updating this blog. However for now here are some videos to see how much Kailin has grown up and her joy for Christmas morning.

Splash Park

We went to the splash park this evening at Settlers Park. We haven't been yet and I couldn't wait to take Kailin so I decided after a day of her wanting to take naps but not falling asleep we would go there to wear her out. I should tell you something about Kailin. She LOVES water, in fact she loves it so much she asks for a Bath every day and will try to run into the bathroom before I can close the door. I wasn't sure how she would like it but her love of water won out. She also was trying to give all of the other kids hugs. It was so sweet. Here are the pictures. It was so much fun I think we will go a few times a week.

I think she has my legs haha

She would see another fountain and walk over to it to play

Despite the look on her face she loved this!

I felt really bad on this one. I stood underneath a bucket and of course it dumps water to the left of me. I was hoping to get wet but instead Kailin took the bucket of water on the head. oops!

Easter

We had a great Easter this year. Kailin is a little too little for the Easter Egg hunt but some of our best friends the Hones were visiting so it was a lot of fun to see them and spend time with them before their little boy was born. We went to Albertsons for their Easter Egg Hunt and it was a really fun time. Kailin was a little scare of the bunny but honestly I would be too if I were her.

Go Daddy Go!!!

Craig has been running quite a few 5k's and 10 k's lately. There are always a lot offered in the Boise area and it has been fun going to see him run.

Waiting for the St.Pattys day race to start.

Visit from Nana and Brandi in March

We had such a fun time having Sharon and Brandi visiting in March before Kailin's first birthday. I am always amazed at how much Brandi loves little babies. It is the sweetest thing ever. Even when she isn't feeling the best she wants to be right beside Kailin. I don't think Kailin would change that either she absolutely loves her Aunt Brandi. Here are some pictures from our fun week with them.

KAILIN IS ONE!!!!!

From Birth-12mo It is amazing how much she has changed

The past year has been the most rewarding year of my life. It is amazing how much joy Kailin has added to our home. She is full of pizzazz and spunk, requires a lot of work and reassurance, but gives the best hugs and kisses ever.

I will have a more detailed post later but here are a few things she does and loves.

She started crawling at 10 months, has 8 teeth with two more coming in currently, she can say and does say all the time, Mom, Dad, Bath, woof woof, hi, bye,along with the normal, baba, nana, p,p,t,t and her usual chattering. She Claps and has started rolling her arms to Patty Cake. She is also currently working on the Itsy Bitsy Spider. She loves talking on the cell phone but gets mad if it isn't mommy or daddy on the other line. She has the best smile that warms my heart. Every morning when I go into get her she plays peek a boo with her blanket. She stands on her toes which we are working on, it is pretty difficult to walk when you stand on your toes ;). She is very inquisitive about everything which we love. She loves to eat Bananas, apples, pears, squash and rolls. In fact she loves to eat anything which involves bread. Oh yeah and she folds her arms when we pray :)

She constently suprises us with all that she does and I'm sure will continue to do so. I swear she dreams of taking a bath because from the moment she wakes up to the moment she falls asleep she says Bath Bath Bath? It is awesome. I will update later with pictures of our Awesome day as she turns ONE today.

I love you Kailin bug and am so excited for you to continue to learn and grow.

Love Mommy and Daddy.
