Happy New Year!

We had a great Christmas! Kyleigh got some great gifts! She got some Little People, a Picnic Table (which she LOVES!), a cleaning trolley and some clothes. You ask why a cleaning trolley? Well this child loves to help clean, put clothes in the washer or just pick up dirt! She loved to play with my broom and swiffer so we got her her own little cleaning trolley! She has been a lot of fun this year and I know it will only continue to get better!

As I mentioned we moved, so we are back in Raleigh. Kyleigh is in a new daycare where we love her teachers. Especially Mrs. Amy, I see how good she is with her, and having my Mom's name, I know she is extra special! Kyleigh is learning to sign, drink from a regular cup (no sippy cup), dance, fitness, and some spanish; oh and Mrs. Amy has been helping us with taking her to the potty some too! No, she is not fully potty trained, and I am not forcing it on her, but I am introducing her to the potty, she had gone pee and poop in there, we just need her to want to do it all the time.

The week before Christmas we went to Nicole's and David's at the Outer Banks! She had her baby, so Kyleigh has a new baby cousin. He was born on December 21st and his name is Austin Matthew Saffell. He was just shy of 10 lbs and 21.5 inches long! Mommy, Daddy and baby are well! Shelley was also in town from Colorado, so we got to spend time with her as too!

New Years Eve, we didn't do anything special. We went to an NC State basketball game! We took Kyleigh and dressed her in her little NC State Cheerleading outfit. I have to admit, she makes the best NC State Cheerleader out there! I may be biased a little, haha! We got to sit really close and they showed Kyleigh on the big screen! Then that night we just stayed in and watched football and watched the ball drop to bring in 2012.

Last week, I took Kyleigh for her 18 month appointment. Yes, you are saying 18 months already, we are too! She is growing so fast and is so much fun! Anyway, she weighed in at 22lbs and 11ozs (was in the 25%), I can't remember the inches for her height but I know she was in the 35% which is an improvement from her 12 month appointment where she was in the 25%. Are you ready for this, her head was in the 90% (was in the 70% at her 12 mos appointment), I have to say I have a very smart girl!

I hope you all had a great Holiday and I hope we can see you all very soon!
