Giggity

Anyone here seen "Family Guy" and familiar with Quagmire? If so, this will be funny. If not, she's still pretty cute!

Kami-ites

On the left-hand side of this blog, I've added a "followers" gadget. It lets me know who's keeping tabs on our girl. It's a fun thing for me, so if you feel like it, add yourself on there!

22.5 Months

Well, I think we have successfully weaned Kami off her "ba-ba." She hasn't asked it since last week and it's been a whole 10 days since we went cold turkey two Saturdays ago. Hooray! She won't be three with a pacifier!

Kami's new favorite words are "no" and "mine." "No" has been a favorite for a while and she answers any question with a "no," but "mine" has just started. I'm thinking she gets it from daycare and defending her and her toys. I'm hoping this phase won't last too long because she's convinced that everything around her is hers. Awesome.

Kami also got to see her cousin Keenan for a while this past week. She always has a ton of fun with him and they love to run around with each other. I didn't have my camera, but they squealed and screamed while running outside and jumping in piles of leaves. It was pretty cute.

Hey look-a picture of Kami and mama!

Isn't she the sweetest thing?

Look mama-a new trick!

Kami was quite pleased with herself.

Kami looks pretty cute with her too-big clothes on! She's right in between sizes right now, so all her pants are too long and the waists are way too big for her tiny, long frame.

Kami thinks she's hilarious! We do too. This was actually the first time she's done this in the bath. Many blackmail photos came from this bath time! We'll keep these in handy.

What a stinker.

Kami's new favorite spot in the house. We haven't used this car seat since she was six months old, but she loves playing with the buckles and pulling the canopy over herself. She was getting frustrated because she couldn't get herself unbuckled.

I'm not sure her swim diaper from this summer is going to fit over her clothes, but she was going to try anyway.

She's been playing on her stomach a lot lately. It makes for some cute shots.

Editor's Note

This past weekend, we bid adieu to Kami's beloved "ba-ba," aka her pacifier. We went cold turkey and she hasn't used her "ba-ba" since dad was a weenie and gave it to her Saturday night for bedtime. She's asked for it during nap times, bed times, and when she's grumpy, but we have survived and even went to the doctor office without using on! True, the doctor visit was for mom, but still, it is an accomplishment. To quote Obama, "Yes we can!"

Happy Halloween to everyone! Kami still wasn't sure what to think of this Halloween stuff and we didn't go trick or treating, but we did answer my parents' door a million times and give out candy. She was thrilled to find out that she could reach the candy bowl, so every time we went to answer the door, she would open the door, act shy, and then grab a piece of candy and take it to the nearest sucker for her "cocoa pease!" which is usually my dad.

Kami is also starting to “speak” in sentences, like “bed in there,” “up pease,” and “where bear at.” We’re starting to understand more of her words and can communicate with her pretty well. We’re getting closer to her second birthday too! How exciting!

Would you have guessed anything else for Kami's costume? The dog is her "cousin," Silva.

What a goofy kid.

Can you guess who their favorites are? She's been referring to my dad as "papa" when I ask her about him. Maybe that's his name. Grandma has been "gamma," like the ray.

She was very excited to get new pj's from "gamma and papa."

Kami and cocoa go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Who is that masked girl? It's Kami!

A good crime fighter always has their pacifier and bear.

The dynamic duo.

Braid success!

This shot is her "glamour shot" for a hair commercial. Her luxurious locks are flowing!

Yay for Batgirl!

You know what would be a good prize for a 2-year old costume winner? Glo-sticks that look like candy! Fantastic idea...

This is Kami's "grandpa face." This is how they both look when concentrating on something.

This is how we trick Kami into eating carrots-by putting ranch on her plate.

This is what Kami gets for trying to dress herself. Note the shirt on her legs and her shoes on the wrong feet. Practice makes perfect.

Kami and dad focusing on the game.

Go Broncos! Go Kami in grandpa's pj pants! She looks thrilled, doesn't she?

Kami's a very protective mommy and tries to keep her baby out of the elements. How sweet.

It took her quite a while to get this blanket on the stroller.

Kami loves to read and especially loves her "Babies" book that grandma Dokken got here. It was actually one of my favorite books when I was a baby.

She's pretty good at entertaining herself.

So, I went to throw her clothes in the hamper and this is what I came back to find in the bathroom.

Hilarious!

Then she got shy.

She's still a sweet kid.

Tired girl. See the bruised knee? She plays hard and sleeps hard.
