Workin' Girl

kellyn is ridiculously cute- as you can see- and she is also ridiculously ornery. Last week she turned 18 months old. A-Year-And-A-Half! Since she is a year and a half she is a "big girl". She is so very determined in her ways. She has mastered the word no, but she doesn't just say no. She says noooooooooha in a very high pitched exaggerated way. She defiantly knows what she wants. She has also learned to climb. She can climb on our furniture, our kitchen chairs and any other thing she can find. This wouldn't be an issue if she didn't love to jump on and off everything! While playing outside Kellyn loves to take rocks and throw them into the grass. She will spend forever throwing the rocks in the grass then picking them up out of the grass.

Just to give you an indication of Kellyn's Ornery ways... This picture is of her feet at the end of the slide. She walks through a mud puddle on purpose! She saw it and took off running and before I could catch her she was covered in mud.

She is a funny girl!

just an update

We were so lucky to have some awesome days a couple weekends ago. I'm still pretending that it didn't snow last weekend (ugh). Since it was so incredible outside we spent most of one Sunday afternoon outside. Last summer Kellyn loved to swing at the park, but she couldn't walk so taking her outside was a pretty simple easy outing. Now, things are different. My next post will discuss all of her ornery ways, but now when we go outside I am spent blocking her from the road. Probably because I told her that she can't go into the road she now has a strong desire to go into the road. She is her father's child! So, most of the time outside is spent chasing her or blocking her from the road. For Christmas my dad got Kellyn this little Radio Flyer trike. Kellyn is a midget and can't reach the peddles. I was hopping by now she would be able to reach them, but she doesn't have a helmet yeat anyway so it's probably for the best. We let her sit on the bike and pushed her around. She was in heaven!

She just learned how to go down slides on her own. She was incredibly excited the only problem is that she flies right off the slide.... oops.

She quickly figured out that she can go faster down the slide if she pushed off the bar.

My mom found one of my old purses from high school. She gave it to Kellyn and now Kellyn gets her bag, puts her arm up to keep the bag on her shoulder, goes to the door and says bye-bye. It's adorable. She also put my purse on her shoulder and says "I mama! I mama!.

He's home

Sorry for my lack of blogging as of late. I know that Kellyn has devoted followers and I have been letting everyone down. :) Things have been crazy but are finally starting to settle down. Ryan got home a couple weeks ago. Needless to say Kellyn was very excited when he got home and wouldn't let him out of her sight for the next two days.

Kellyn and her stunna' shades!
