15 month update...


12 Months and 4 days adjusted....

Her adjusted age is the age she is supposed to be, if she wasn't born 3 months early.


Wow, Mikayla is officially a toddler. The 17th marked her actual due date birthday. Has it really been a year since we brought her home from the NICU? I mean I know time flies when your havin fun and all but wow! We came home weighing in at 5lbs 6 oz, and now over a year later she weighs in at 23.6 lbs and is 31.25 inches long. She is doing so great, I wish you all could see her. SHe is developing into such a little girl. Everyday she is learning and figuring out new things. Being a mom is by far the GREATEST thing I will ever do. I mean just to sit back and watch her figure out "hey, wow..if I stand on this I can reach that..." lol.

Here are what we call the "Birthday Bear" pictures. I take them about every 3 months, it is awesome to see how much she is growing. I want to continue this tradition until she graduates and then when she has kids I will give it to her. Hope they like pink lol!

She has 7 teeth now, 3 on the bottom and 4 on the top now!! She loves to eat as long as she can feed herself, she cant do a spoon yet but she likes to try. She gets plain milk supplemented with Pediasure, she still needs a little extra to grow the way they are wanting her to, and to make sure she is getting everything she needs. We are starting to ween from the bottle this week...so far she doesn't think its very cool. We should be testing out of her biggest development team soon, they want her caught up on Gross and Fine motor before we call it quits. She jabbers and talks all the time. Her vocabulary includes around 17 words and is growing every day. She is even starting to put 2 words together like, Kaykay bath or Kaykay bite. Other words in her vocabulary include: Daddy, DaDa, Mom, Momma, Mommy, Hi (she likes to act like she is holding a phone when she says it lol), she also tries to say Gie (Aggie is her puppy and she calls her by yelling GIE!!), she tries to say TaTa (her Aunt Tata is my sister Krista--I couldn't say Krista when I was little), she says Lolu (I love you), no (while pointing usually), bite, bath, bye bye, more, some, mine, Kaykay, Livia (Alivia is her cousin), and tries to say anything you say lol! She loves Peek-a-Boo, and Patty Cake. She blows kisses using only 1 finger lol, copycats everything.. Even the way Eric laughs LOL! Anything that involves music will grab her attention, she loves to sing and dance. Her favorite past time is to take all of the toys out of the bins with her cousin Catch. She thinks finger painting is a blast, and so is sidewalk chalk lol. Here are some pictures:

Finger painting with pudding paint I made for her and Catch...


It was fun and YUMMY!!!


Playin with sidewalk chalk, I love this picture...


She loves to dance and anytime she can get someone to dance with her it makes her day.

Dancin with Heath



Dancin with Grandpa

She loves to cook with me (hang out and snack in her high chair)

Kaykay had her first heartbreak... Her cousin Catch bit her and bless her heart I know it had to hurt (he broke a lil skin) but she only set there with big fat tears runnin down her face looking at him like "why, how could you do that to me"...it was the saddest look I have ever seen.

The BITE

Kaykay loves her Nanny and Papa and I love these pictures I snatched of them.


(she was hot hot hot so she got to hangout in her diaper for a few)


This is Kaykay at the Rodeo Parade, she liked the horses.


And here she is in her Cowgirl outfit for Rodeo weekend...



Kaykay and her cousins: Catch and Alivia





She wanted to go to the Rodeo but it was way past her bed time lol. She goes to sleep around 8 p.m. and wakes up around 8 a.m.

Fall Pictures...


She is ready for some FOOTBALL!!!


She loves her mittens...



The kids painted these shirts, I helped Kaykay with hers...



She is and I hope always will be, lil Miss Independent. She insists on doing everything by herself...except go to sleep by herself (she still wants held to go to sleep, but then she wants put in her bed). She eats anything we do just in tiny bits. She loves steak and pees the most. She is walking now!!! And no matter how many times she falls she gets right back up and tries again lol. Her forehead shows just how determined she is lol. She is my lil bruiser! Here are some pics from today:

She was walking with the bear


Her hair is getting so long. I was switching her clothes/background to take the new Birthday Bear picture and she wanted me to take her picture again...

Her hair is getting so long.

I think that about covers most of the things we have to update on. It will be nice to not have to do the RSV shots this season. The only thing we have to do is make sure anyone that has a lot of contact with Kaykay has had a flu shot. But that should be the only kind of shot she has this time. We will have to keep her protected a little longer but soon she will be a normal snotty kid lol!!! Her teams say that by the time she is 3 I can relax and let sniffles just be sniffles...I CANT WAIT!!! lol! I am looking forward to fall activities and Holidays... She already knows what she wants from Santa (at least I know what she is getting lol!) I cant believe the next blog I do will have these things in them, this year is flying by. Well till next time I leave you with this picture of Kaykay on her new couch, she just woke up for the day and has bed head and all!!
