Kaelyn turned 18 months old this past month and it is impossible to believe there was ever a time we didn't have her in our lives. She has brought so much joy and laughter to us in the past year and a half. Happy 18 months sweet Kaelyn! We love you more than words can express! At 18 months, Kaelyn:
- navigates the stairs all by herself (both up and down) and loves to play upstairs in her toy playroom (which used to be Robbie's gameroom until he had to make room for all the toys)
- loves to take showers and stick her head under the shower head
- enjoys reading books over and over again
- can't wait until Daddy gets home each evening so they can have a dance party to her Praise cd's (Daddy gave Kaelyn a strobe light for Christmas and they really get after the dancing now)
- likes to get her own snack out of the pantry (I guess she thinks that Mommy and Daddy don't pick out the good stuff)
- LOVES Barney, the purple dinosaur (hopefully we will outgrow this soon) and enjoys repeat episodes while sitting in her pink chair (thanks Mimi and PawPaw)
- is saying all kinds of new words each day: ball, bye, hi, milk, shoes, brush, daddy, ma-ma, Pop and PawPaw, Mimi, Tay-Tay for KK, baby, eat, etc.
- still takes 2 naps a day on most days (although we are trying to transition her to 1 nap for when she starts school in the Fall)
- likes to get stickers as a surprise
- likes to follow her usual routines (especially in the morning when she helps Daddy get ready for work)
- has just started kissing her baby brother (or Mommy's belly)
- gets out of bed with at least 3 stuffed animals each morning (we aren't sure how she has room to sleep in her crib because she won't let us move any of the stuffed animals out); Piglet, Bear, and Dog are her favorites
- loves to play with her baby dolls and takes extra good care of them: pushing them in their stroller, patting them on the back, feeding them her sippy cup, and sometimes they even get to slide down her slide
- is usually not a great eater, but loves raisins, chips, strawberries and grapes
- likes to help Mom clean the house (thankfully Pop and KK got her a cleaning cart and she has her own vacuum now to help out since Mommy's is too heavy)
- doesn't like her hair fixed even though it's getting too long to not fix
Enjoying a snow day!

Such a sweet post. Brent and I laughed out loud at the Barney part because Harper has recently fallen in love with the purple dinosaur too--hurray!
