Little Kyla has been full of personality and spunk lately. I love this age when they are learning how to communicate their wants and needs. Kyla is really a pretty easy going baby. She is content to just sit on my lap when we go places. She usually sits in the grocery cart and is super well behaved. But then there are days when she is super mischievous and constantly getting into things. She fights getting buckled into her car seat lately and still climbs on everything. Her latest things has been to climb on my kitchen counter and play in the sink. I had to hide all of my markers up on the fridge because she kept climbing and getting them and then writing on things. She loves to push the kitchen chairs all around the house so she can reach stuff. She also takes the little potty out of the bathroom and packs it to other rooms so she can use it as a step stool. She is a smart one that girl.
At Kyla's last doctor appointment she weighed 24 lbs. (68%) and she was 32.75 in. tall (79%). We have been playing doctor quite a bit around here. Kyla thinks it is hilarious when she gives me a shot and I cry so she does it over and over again. We practiced what the doctor would do for her appointment and Kyla did so great. She showed the doctor her ears and let her look in her mouth. She was really unhappy when I set her on the scale but other than that she did great at her check-up. I was pretty impressed. She cried for her shot and poor Annalyn was right there looking on when the shot was given and Annalyn let out the loudest sympathy cry I have ever heard. It was like a yell cry and I felt sad for Kyla but Anna's cry made me laugh a little bit. As soon as Kyla got her sucker she immediately stopped crying and life was good again.
Kyla likes to have me fix her hair whenever I fix everyone else's hair and she has brought me a pony tail holder to put in a few times. I can do a little pony in the back of her hair but other than that she doesn't have a lot of hair to work with. She has almost all of her teeth for a total of 16 with 8 on the top and 8 on the bottom.
Kyla can say several words and she is getting good at communicating what she wants. Her favorite word is still "no" and she uses it even when she means yes. She can also say "uh uh," and nope. She also says bies (flies) a lot and she likes to point at the flies she sees flying around and then she pretends to squash them. You would think all of the flies would be dead by December but there are still a few flying around our house. Another favorite word is "bus." Whenever we talk about Brynlee when she is at school she likes to run to the window and she says "bus" over and over again. She says "me" and "my" when she wants something or when she thinks the thing is hers. She says "poo poo" when she has a poopy diaper. She says "dis" and "dat" and points to things to tell me which one she wants. She says "ja key" for jacket, "beh E" for belly, "oss" for off, "d o" for dog, "peas" for please, "orse" for horse, "ta tou" for thank you, "Joe" for Joel, "pod" for frog, "bis" for fish, "bas" for bath, "ca E' for candy, "mo" for more, and "I" for why. She can kind of say Brynlee and Annalyn's names. She can say up, bye, hi, eye, shoe, toe, ouch, ow, bite, cheese, hot, baby, bug, and uh huh. When she is cold she says "burr, co" and she wraps her arms around herself. She says "Ta Da" whenever she does something good. She likes to have me "mell" (smell) things and when she spills something she runs in the kitchen yelling "cow" (towel.) I love listening to her talk.
Kyla loves books. She is constantly bringing me books and then climbing on my lap so I will read to her. Whenever we visit grandma Verna she heads straight for the bookshelf and gets grandma to read her book after book after book. She gets really jealous when her sister try to listen to the story grandma is reading to her as well. She pushes them off and hollers at them.
Kyla loves shoes and she loves to eat candy. She still sucks on her thumb all the time and takes a nap in her bed and falls asleep without any fuss. Although she kept climbing out of her bed tonight and sometimes she wakes up in the middle on the night and I end of bringing her in our bed. For the most part she sleep well. She loves playing with baby dolls and looking at real babies when we go places. She loves to have her fingernails painted and she loves playing with her sister and tries to do everything they do. She hates it when she is left out. She really enjoyed sitting on the potty chair for a while until she actually peed in her little potty. It kind of freaked her out so now she won't sit on the thing at all. She loves to color, paint, and to play with play dough and she does quite well with it. She likes to take my phone and pretend to talk on it and she likes to take my chap stick and eat it. She is still a major mama's girl and doesn't usually like when other people try to hold her. She loves music time at the library and is staring to do the actions and go up to get the manipulatives with all of the other kids. She has gone to nursery three times and I don't think she even cried once. She seems to really enjoy nursery. It helps that Annalyn is in there with her. We will see how she does in our new ward.
Kyla sure is a lot of fun lately. She likes to tease her sisters and do things that aggravate them but if one of them cries she is quick to give them a hug and a kiss and say sorry. She really loves her sisters and we all think she is pretty fun. We sure so love this little girl.
