Poor Dexter

another cute video. When we were in Wyoming, Dexter was Kaelyn's favorite form of entertainment. We found her doing this one day and caught it on video. We love her laugh. And Amy, we love your old soaker.

To Pucker or Not to Pucker

Here is a cute video of Kaelyn eating a lemon. Her expressions are priceless.

15 month Check-up

Today Kaelyn had her 15 month check-up and it went very well. She has evened out now in her height and weight. She is 25 lbs which is in the 75-90% and 31 inches in the 50-75%. She has grown 3 inches in the last three months. Big growth spirt for our cute little squirt. Dr. Albiek asked us how many words Kaelyn is saying and I told him somewhere around 40. After he left the room, while waiting for shots (eek), I started counting how many words she says. It was about 65. I just had to put in a little brag on my Kaelyn. She is becoming quite a motor mouth. We are very proud.

Today we also got to go to Bouncin' Craze with our mommy's group. It's an inflatable playground. Kaelyn had fallen asleep in the car on the way there and was a bit hesitant to play at first. She wanted nothing to do with the bouncing. Then, she got a second wind and had a blast bouncing and going down the slides. We are so blessed to have these mommies and their kiddos to spend time with.

Water Fun with our Friend

This week, Kaelyn got to have a bunch of fun with her friend Colton. They play better and better each time that we get together. We got to have some fun play time at home and swim in the turtle pool, then off to naps and then the spraygrounds. We are in an iffy time right now because both kiddos have been working to give up their morning naps. Colton has officially given his up, but Kaelyn still has one here and there. She took a short morning nap and decided that she wasn't ready for an afternoon nap. It didn't dampen any fun though thankfully. At the spray park, it took Colton a little warming up to the idea of things spraying, but then he was blowing bubbles in the water. Kaelyn couldn't get enough of the water. She has come a long way this summer when it comes to the water. At the beginning of the summer, she wanted nothing to do with it, and now she doesn't care if water gets in her face and chokes her up. She goes right back after it. Now we just need to teach her how to swim before she dives in on her own, which she has attempted several time. No fear for sure. Enjoy the pics of our water babies.

Which direction should I go?
When the water went down, she would put her head down by the spout and then it would spray her in the face. She would flinch, walk away, and then go back at it.
