On Halloween, we went trick-or-treating for almost 2 hours with both girls! It was so much fun. My parents joined us for the first half and then helped Josee and Chance pass out candy the rest of the night.
So - Bailey-Boo can do the following:
- Pull up (even when she is in her sleep sack!)
- Pronounce consonant sounds like: ma-ma, da-da, a-dah, uh-oh, ya-ya-ya
- Clap
- Turn off lights
- Eat finger foods (puffs, mum-mums)
Her bottom teeth have come fully in, and now, her top teeth are coming in. Eric and I were wondering why she was having a hard time sleeping the past few weeks - DUH, she has teeth coming in. I didn't think to look until last night and one has broken the gums.
She also enjoys playing hide and seek where I go hide and call her name and she crawls to find me, HATES the doctor (cried entire 9-month check-up), will sit still for me to read books to her, does not like long sleeves, and she can actually flip the switch to turn off lights. She still likes sucking on tags and her bib while we try to get her to eat, and I hope she grows out of that soon.... I am enjoying watching her grow and guessing how she will be as she gets older. She loves to laugh and have a good time - we'll see what that means in the coming years.
Kya is your typical oldest child. She loves to please you and hates being in trouble. She has to do her homework - just right and things have to be put in their place. She is very particular about the funniest things. I get her ready every morning because she doesn't like how Eric fixes her hair, which is awesome and horrible at the same time - I face much more traffic and have to stay a little later, but I love that she wants to see me in the morning! She also loves giving hugs especially to Bailey who pushes her away most of the time. So, here are a few funny stories from the past month:
I got a call from daycare, and after I called back, the teacher told me that Kya had taken one of her friends' earrings out, and was so upset after it happened that they had to call me to calm her down. She cried more than the friend whose earring got taken out. Thankfully, I knew the mom, so I called and apologized and gave them a gift card to Claire's!
Kya: (friend from school) hit me today.
Me: Did you do something? What did you do after she hit you?
Kya: No, she wanted my Capri Sun. Then, I told the teacher.
Me: Okay, good.
Kya: Then, she said sorry and we held hands and we are best friends again.
I wish we could all forgive so easily and be best friends again!
Kya: Mom, why did you marry Eric since he has DIABETES?
Me (trying not to laugh because of how she said this - first of all, she called her dad, Eric as if she was not associated with him and really emphasized the diabetes): Well, Daddy didn't have diabetes when we got married (he has late on-set type 1), but I would have married him anyways.
Kya had to draw a picture using white, and she drew a picture of herself in a wedding dress and her boyfriend. I asked her who her boyfriend was, and she said. "I DON'T KNOW, YET."
