March Madness

The past couple of months have been busy! Grams and Big Daddy came to visit and Kya and Grams baked cookies together! Kya was sick, so we couldn't really do much, but she enjoyed baking cookies. She kept screaming "I bake!". We also sent Fletch to go live with Grams and Big Daddy because we just weren't able to give him the attention that he deserved. It was a really hard decision, and we are thankful to Grams and Big Daddy for taking such great care of our little buddy. The first week after he was gone, Kya would come home and search the downstairs yelling "Buh!" She is going to be so excited to see him this weekend, though! We'll be celebrating Big Daddy's birthday!

In the meantime, Kya had her first haircut, and she was sooo good! We had to try to tame the mullet. However, I am trying to grow her bangs out, and she won't keep a bow in for longer than 5 minutes, so she just has bangs in her face - hopefully, they will start growing faster soon. We had a few weekends of nothing - one of which my parents kept Kya one night and let us go out - awesome!, and then, we were supposed to go up to see my parents' new house and go out to eat with my aunt and her family, BUT Kya got strep throat, so we will have to plan that again. :(. This past weekend my friend Heather from Auburn who now lives in LA with her husband came for a visit! It was so great to catch up and show her around. We went down to Kemah and walked around the boardwalk Saturday morning before it got crowded, and then, we ate at Cattle Drive (our fave BBQ place, which is attached to a gas station).

AND the real reason that I have this blog: Kya! Kya is talking more and more, and she loves bubbles. She will bring us our shoes and make us put them on and then run to the door and say "side" and "bub-bohs" over and over. She has also become obsessed with Pooh. She sleeps with Pooh. She wants to watch the one Pooh movie we have over and over. I watched it three times on Sunday.... She is quite bossy, too! She will try to pick us up and say "Up!" or tell us where to sit. We also make frequent trips to the park to slide. Her little personality is really starting to come out. She is a really sweet girl, and she loves to help, but she definitely has her little moments of meltdowns. Thankfully, her tantrums don't last very long - for now. We are just really enjoying this age, and we love watching her learn new things. She still loves to read, and she will say her ABC's out of order. It is so cute! I will say this - I am ready for her to be past this phase of getting sick every two weeks! One last thing - she has become sooo independent. She wants to do everything herself. She wants to feed herself, and we have had to pull the old bibs out... She is also learning to use the potty. Her daycare doesn't potty train until she is 2, but we got her a potty, and she loves using it! Whenever they start at school, it won't take too long! I am so ready to get rid of diapers!
