Mom and Dad have had a hard time updating the post lately due to all of the activity in the household. There are no soccer games or piano lessons to attend, just a very quick one year old to chase around the house. Kayleigh celebrated her 1st birthday a couple weeks ago and had a blast. Kayleigh had many loved ones come from as far away as Chicago, IL to help her celebrate her 1st year on Earth, and what a year it has been! Those of you who have been with Kayleigh since the very beginning know what a roller coaster ride it has been. From the first few days of not really knowing what was ahead to now watching this beautiful little girl laugh, play, walk and even say a few words has been an amazing adventure.
The past few months have been really exciting. Since the last update, Kayleigh has learned to walk and even has her first pair of shoes. She moved up to the next room at daycare and loves interacting with the other kids. She has stopped taking formula (YEA!!) and is drinking regular old milk out of sippy cups - yes, she was even weaned from her bottles. Dad put her to bed without her pacifier tonight, but Mom isn't ready to give that up yet. It seems that at the blink of an eye, she is no longer a little baby. She has her mother's ornery streak, so when the house gets quiet, you better go look for her. Most of the time, you will find her making her way up the stairs. One of Kayleigh's favorite evening activities is still going for walks. It is really the only time you can get her to sit in one spot for an extended period of time.
Mom and Dad have attached some pictures from Kayleigh's party. Thank you to all who could come and help us celebrate what a great year this has been.
