Daddy.....Monkey?

Okay so Jon doesn't think this is funny but I do and so does Kay. Tim and Kay took Kaylin to the Zoo on Saturday while Jon and I had to work. Kaylin LOVES the zoo, she loves animals and her favorite area of the zoo is the primates. Well Kaylin being the independent person she is was pushing her stroller at the zoo (telling Tim and Kay NO when they tried to help) and she pushed it up to the gorilla display. Standing in front of the glass window staring at this big gray haired gorilla Kaylin pointed and yelled excitedly "DADDY!!!". Hahaha. Poor Jon.

Mommy's Not Fast Enough

Okay so it is definitely time to start potty training Kaylin. Last night we were at D.I.G, which is the junior high fellowship/bible study at our church, and Kaylin was grabbing her diaper and said "potty". I asked her if she needed to go potty or needed a new diaper and she said "potty". So we went to the bathroom and I took her pants off and was about to take her diaper off and she started to pee in her diaper. I just wasn't fast enough but she did a really good job of telling me she had to go. I was SO proud of her and she was very excited.

Fluke or The Start of Something New?

Okay, so today has been a CRAZY day!!!! Yesterday Jon and I were talking about whether or not Kaylin is ready to potty train. She has gotten into the habit of bringing us a diaper and wipes when she needs a new diaper. So I was thinking well maybe she is ready to start potty training but Jon said no because she is telling us after she goes to the bathroom not before she goes. Well, this morning she brought me a diaper after she woke up and I changed her diaper and we ate breakfast and she started playing. Then a few hours later, she came over to me and patted her belly and said "pah". I said "Do you need to go potty?" and she said "YEAH!" I was thinking yeah right there is no way, but I thought I would indulge her and I took off her pants and diaper and sat her down on the potty. Wouldn't you know after about two minutes of just sitting there I said "Are you sure you need to go potty?" and she said "Yeah" and she went!!!!!!! I just sat there in amazement! I told her I was very proud of her and that she was such a big girl!!! Needless to say I think this is just a freak accident but who knows it could be the start of a whole new world for us!

Kaylin's First Easter Egg Hunt

Yesterday was Easter as many of you know and we had a wonderful lunch out at Tim and Kay's house. After we ate lunch they had an Easter Egg hunt for Kaylin. It was very cute to watch. She had a little easter basket and not all of the eggs would fit in the basket. So after she put about four eggs in her basket she couldn't really fit anymore in the basket, but that didn't keep her from trying. It was really funny because she would try to put another egg in her basket and then lean over to pick up another egg and the egg she had just put in would fall out but she just thought she had found another egg. Finally Papa (that is what she calls Tim), helped her out by holding the rest of her eggs in his hands. It was very sweet! Her little eggs had either money or a m'n'm in it. Her level of excitement over the candy and money was the same. She loves to play with change and she has never tried to put the coins in her mouth which is amazing to me. She is starting to really look like a little girl instead of a baby now and we are so excited to see her grow and change!

Kaylin's Easter Pictures

Okay, so I have a friend who is an AMAZING photographer and she has been such a blessing to Jon and I. She has does several sittings with Kaylin and her pictures are always incredible. She did Kaylins Easter pictures last year and again this year. We all went to the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens the Monday before Easter and had a picnic and took pictures. Here are some of the pictures she took of Kaylin.
