Bad Hair Day??

I think the chill in the air caused Kylie to have a bad hair day today. Here she is right when I dropped her off on daycare on the play mat. She is sporting her purple Adidas Track Suit today :) Have a great day.. Stay warm!

Future Volleyball Star???

Tonight was one of the first nights that Brian had volleyball practice right after work. Therefore, Kylie and I came home from work and did the whole routine without her Dad. She was fine (I was pulling out my hair! - Thankfully you can drink your dinner!).

Anyways, Kylie wanted to practice her volleyball skills so one day she could play on her Dad's team. I think we made a lot of progress. She enjoyed laying on the volleyball and practicing her dive sprints. Diving she has down sprints not so much. When she tried to lick the ball I figured she had enough. You don't see many volleyball stars licking the volleyball. I also found out that if you put the pacifier in there is a lot less whining, especially when your running a lot of drills.

After all that practice Kylie needed a bath

Greek Amulet

Kylie received this awesome Greek Amulet the other day from one of our friends / accounts. Makis brought this back from his trip to Greece just for her. It is supposed to ward off all evil. We are so fortunate to have so many friends from such different backgrounds which brings so much culture into Kylie's life!

Thanks Makis :) She picked it up in her hand on her own...

First Week of School / Work Complete

We did it, first week of school / work done! Kylie loves her school and mainly stares at the bigger kids trying to figure out how they are moving around and rolling over. She has a spanish nickname LA CHINA pronounced chee-na (meaning china girl). Anytime anyone says it to her she smiles and almost laughs! She has made a few new friends in her class as well. Bianca likes to take off Kylie's socks and no matter where they put Bianca she manages to get over to be near Kylie. It is pretty cute. She doesn't seem too interested in the boys right now! The drive has been manageable and Kylie sleeps to and from school for the most part.

Kylie's teachers gave her homework for the weekend. Here are a few of her assignments:

• Learn to spit up less
• Practice sitting up (she does very well with something to support her)
• Practice rolling over
• Spell Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
• Master Spanish

Here is a shot of Kylie and I resting after a long week. Guess she didn't need much rest!

First Day of School

Today was my first day back to work in Miami and Kylie's first day at Little Cruisers (the daycare center in my work building). The day went GREAT. I went downstairs to check on Kylie once and she was playing or other kids were playing on the mat near her. She slept all the way to work and for the most part the way home from work.

As we pulled into the port of Miami I taught her right away about the best cruise line out there Royal Caribbean and she seemed to get fussy when she saw the Carnival and Norwegian Cruise Line ships. She also seemed excited that her daycare was on an island and she can see the ocean from her daycare center. Not a bad place to be.

Happy New Year!!

New Year's Day Celebration

This is Kylie on New Year's Eve. She fell asleep standing in her ExerSaucer and was in bed by 10pm. She had quite the fireworks show though, as the neighborhood boys lit of fireworks for several hours right in front of her bedroom window. Thankfully she slept through them! Although it was a very long night with Mac (our dog).
