22 Months

Happy 22 Months! I can't believe in 2 months we will be celebrating Kacie's 2nd birthday already!
Here are some new/cute things about Kacie this month:
  • Of course, she LOVED Christmas. She was really disappointed when we took all the decorations down. 
  • She just talks so much, and we understand almost everything she says. 
  • One of her new little "sayings" is "cuz" (which actually sounds like "tuz"). When we ask her anything, she says "cuz," even if it wasn't a why question. She just grins and eventually will answer correctly whatever the question was. 
  • She says the "T" sound for beginning "c/k" sounds. She can say the "K" sound, because she says it at the ends of words like cracker and quack quack. I try to practice with her by saying, "K-K-Kacie" and she will repeat saying, "K-K-Tacie." 
  • She also says the "d" sound for "g." She calls my mom "Dam-maw."
  • She started saying, "Go away Mommy/Daddy" when we are near her. We are trying to discourage that!
  • Another thing she started saying is "I need this" about everything. It's pretty funny when she wants something, she automatically says, "Mommy, I need this juice/cracker/toy, etc"
  • She says everything is her favorite. "Pink is my favorite." "Green beans are my favorite." "Clara is my favorite." Her favorite things change daily. Haha!
  • She loves to scream/squeal really loud for attention. After you look at her, she just starts giggling out of control.
  • She continues to amaze us at the numbers/letters she recognizes. She also recognizes the stores Aldi, Target, and Dollar Tree when she sees the signs.
We love our smart, funny, beautiful girl so much!!

Extra Pics from 21 Months

Kacie saw her Bumbo chair in the closet and dragged it out. She likes sitting in it, and her legs actually fit now that her little thighs have slimmed down!
Reading in her room
This was a cute thing she did. She put that blanket on her shoulders, and kept twirling around saying, "I'm a beautiful princess!"

Day at the Park

It hasn't been terribly cold this winter, so on one of the pretty Saturdays, we went to one of the parks in our neighborhood. This one had TONS of ducks in the pond, which Kacie loved!  She was chasing them yelling, "Come back duckies!" We brought some bread to feed them, which she loved as well.
Then we went to the playground area and she had a blast throwing the wood chips up and yelling, "It's raining!"

First Gymnastics Class!

We went to a gymnastics class at ASI, where I worked for almost 9 years until I had Kacie. We went with her friend Lux, whose mom was also a coach with me. The girls had a lot of fun. Kacie was a little shy and timid, but afterwards she talked about "gin-natics" the rest of the day. My friend Cris was the coach, and he is so good with the little ones.

 The swing! I didn't know if she would want to do it, but she loved it!

Overall, Kacie did a great job. She was able to do most of the skills and listened to Cris very well. She never really came out of her shell, but I think she had fun. With our schedule during the school year, we are not able to do a class right now. Hopefully in the summer we can sign up for a class.  After gymnastics we went to eat lunch at Chick-Fil-A with Autumn & Lux. Hope we can get together with them again soon!!
