Kalia : 23.5 - 24.5 Months : New House in TX

Chris and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary not even a week after we moved into the new house.  We were so grateful to have "Granny" there to babysit Kalia so we could get a much needed date night in to celebrate!  (p.s. the kitchen already doesn't look like this anymore!)



As for the little person everyone reads the blog about, Kalia :
  • says "I got toe jam!" all the time now and grabs her toes.  She was quite tired and fussy when we first moved in, so Granny distracted her during bathtime by telling her she needed to get her toe jam cleaned.  Apparently it stuck!
  • says "Kalia wanna ...." and whatever she wants to do.  "Kalia wanna go jump" is a popular one, but she'll say it for go for a walk, play with her babies, play with play-doh, color, eat, drink water, go outside, whatever it is she wants to do.
  • says "Hi Captain" and "Eye-Eye Captain" a lot.  That one came from Daddy!
  • We've been playing "sack of taters" with her where we throw her over our shoulders like a sack of taters since she was real little.  The other day I was carrying her and Chris asked her if she wanted Mommy to carry her like a sack of taters and she said "NO!!  Ummm...Hold you like a HUG!"  It was cute!
  • says "ummm" a lot.  Oops!  That one is all me...
  • got a piggy bank from Granny for her birthday and if she sees money says "I got money!  Kalia wanna go feed the piggy!!"
  • has started compromising.  I tell her she has so many more minutes (normally one or two) and then when we get to 20 seconds left, I tell her there's 20 seconds and count to 20 before she has to be all done playing with something.  She does pretty well with not throwing fits if she has the count down.  The other day I told her she had 20 more seconds, and she said "No, FIVE more MINUTES, not SECONDS!"  I didn't realize she was picking up on the difference between minutes and seconds, ha!  And after that she followed it up with "No, TWENTY more MINUTES!"
  • wakes up talking or singing.  Her eyes will still be closed and she won't even have moved, but she's singing or talking about something or another.
  • thinks if she opens up the stove, muffins will pop out.  She says she wants muffins and opens up the stove and gets upset that they're not there.  Sigh...if only...
  • told me she loved me all on her own.  I told her "Mommy loves you!" and she said "And Key-ya loves Mommy too!"
  • tells Daddy she loves him and to have a good day at work every morning that she sees him off.  She yells she loves him until she can't see him driving off anymore!
  • still hasn't talked to anyone else other than Chris or I around here.  It's gotten worse instead of better, but hopefully the switch will flip soon!
Onto pictures!

Kalia reading  her book on her mermaid chair that Grandma and Grandpa Drago got her (thanks!).  She loves that little chair.  She's so darn cute on it too!



She is also really into cutting her food (thanks Amy!)


Getting her some Daddy loving!


Girl still loves her bubbles!




Playing in her water hose toy that Granny got her!  (thanks!)


Kodi got a new bed.  He likes it :-).


Kalia helping Daddy work.






Not nice, but I took this picture after I told her no for something and she thought it was the end of the world.  She recovered about 2 seconds later (after being ignored!).  As long as we're on the wood floors, I'm good with this!


Getting her some Kodi-lovin!  This happens a lot!



For Father's Day, Kalia helped Daddy wash the truck, and then we all played basketball.  She was so so cute!





She got so excited when she made a basket, and if we made a basket, she cheered and laughed equally as hard. 



























I was washing up the dishes, and she hollered in "Mommy, come change my hiney please!!!" and this is what I turned around to find.  I like my little helper!


She's gotten really into standing or sitting on the counters to help with stuff.  She also wants to "see!!!" after you take a picture of her!




I went this hair down twice this morning, and this is still what it looked like.  I'm pretty sure the girl is gonna have curls!


Poor Kodi.  She does this and says "I know Buddy, I know...good boy!" because that's what I say to him!





Till next time!
