Another present!

Kaylee got a surprise present last night in the mail, all the way from her cousin Elena (okay really Elena's Mommy Diedre ;) ) in California! It arrived just as we were about to sit down for dinner, so Jamie opened it up as soon as we were done, but I had to wipe down Kaylee before she could get at it. The present was in purple gift wrap and I told Kaylee it was from Elena, and she was itching to get at it for the entire 2 minutes (if that) it took to clean her up, saying, "Enena big purple present!" over and over. She finally got to tear into it and that she did! All the practice at Christmas has made her a pro and I think she was into the box within about 30 seconds - she had all the paper off before I could start the camera! Kaylee wanted to put it on right away, over her clothes. She was wearing a white turtleneck yesterday, and until it warms up, that's how she'll be wearing it! (Maybe not also with the brown pants, though...) Perfect size, too - good for now over the shirt and should be great all summer and into fall, too! Here's the video, edited a little for time... Thanks, California Caesars!! :)



While Kaylee's spinning, she says, "Gramma," because at Christmas she was wearing a dress with a big skirt and twirling around to show it off and my mom was twirling in her skirt, too, to show Kaylee. So now when she spins in a dress, she says, "Gramma."

Snow & Yucky Soup

On Thursday we went out in the snow for a little while before there was much on the ground (not that there was ever that much on the ground at all!).



A friend had brought over some soup for us just before we went out in the snow. When we got back inside I thought it would make a nice warm snack. I asked Kaylee if she wanted some "yummy soup" and she said no. So I asked her if she wanted "yucky soup" and she said yes. So here she is eating yucky soup - that she loved!



At the end of the video she calls Mimi (her stuffed lamb) on her phone (my old one). She and Mimi must have a special language because the sounds she makes is how she always "talks" to her on the phone. Weirdo.

Jumping Beans

Kaylee and I went to my grandparents' house on Wednesday and Kaylee and PawPaw spent quite a while jumping off the fireplace ledge.
