14 Months

I'm a little behind because I lost my camera for a few weeks! I wanted to get all caught up with our summer fun, but the lost camera put a damper in my plans. (I'm putting the correct chronological date on this post, but it's really the middle of June! Yikes! By the way, found my camera in the couch cushions).

Anyway....Here is Kacie's 14 month post!

• This month flew by! I almost forgot to take her picture on May 24. 
• Many things are the same as the past few months. She continues to entertain us with her silly faces, noises, and jabbering.
• She is understanding so much! I am constantly amazed at how many animals and body parts she can point to correctly (just to name a few!)
• A few weeks ago, she started waking up EARLY....like 5:30-6:00. She was waking up pretty consistently around 6:45 or so. I know six doesn't sound that early, but when I'm trying to get ready for school, I don't have time to have her walking around. We usually leave her in her crib until about 6:45. I get her up, change her diaper, take her to our room, and wake Jason up. I have a minute or two for hugs and kisses, then I leave for school. But only one more week!
• She also started having a mini-meltdown the past week or so around 7:30. As soon as we say, "Kacie, let's put your jammies on!" She screams "no" and starts crying. This lasts anywhere from a minute to 20 minutes. We try to distract her, but for some reason she has started fighting bed time. She usually calms down and goes right to sleep by the time we go to her room. It's just so different to our child that hardly every cries!
• She is walking faster and faster every day. She loves to squeal and "run" away when we say we're coming to get her.
• She is really having a great time at Amy's house with Dawson and Addison. When I get there to pick her up, the girls will walk to the door holding hands. It's so cute!
• She also loves doggies and babies. She will squeal and point when she sees either one on tv, at the store, in a book, anywhere!
• I feel like there's so much more, but I can't think of anything else new as I'm typing.

We love our little munchkin so much! I am SO excited to get to spend the summer with her. I know I will be tired, but it will be so fun. A lot different from our summer together last year. As always, here are the other attempts at the 14 month picture:

Kacie, look at Mommy!

 Don't pull your dress up!

We turned on "Fresh Beat Band" to try to get some smiles. We got smiles, but we couldn't get her to look at us!! Guess our plan backfired.

 And now it's time to grab the sign

 Where's Kacie?!

 This was later in the evening when we had taken off the bow. I just thought it was cute.

 Uh-oh...I don't know who pulled all the notebooks of Mommy's students out of this basket while she's trying to grade....hmmmm...maybe it was Earl...

Finishing up 13 months...

Here are the last few pictures from this month...

Let's start with some cute outfits :)

I LOVE to watch her sleeping. She moves around so much and gets in the funniest positions. This is what she looks like when she first falls asleep.

 This is how she eventually ends up.

 Reading books in Daddy's truck

 Our first big toddler moment....pulling out all the wipes!

That about sums it up. She will be 14 months tomorrow!

You are my sunshine...

I didn't really know what to title this post, so I decided that Kacie's outfit reminds me of the sun. For some reason, I have a lot of pictures from this day, so they deserve their own page.

 She was having trouble getting on her unicorn.

 Now she's happy

We went out to eat, and Kacie was stacking up the jelly containers.

 Playing with her "shake-shake"

 Finally, a little bootie shakin'!

Playtime

Kacie really loves to play and be silly! Here are some pics from the past week or so of her playing.

I was in the kitchen, and it got really quiet all of a sudden. I stuck my head over the bar and saw Kacie sitting on this tv tray. She was just smiling and watching tv. So cute. 

 First time in our backyard pool

 Stacking her rings-she would start clapping after she put on each one

 She also likes putting the rings on her feet

 Putting on Daddy's shoes

 Playing with her purse

 Reading with Daddy

 In Daddy's truck

My Little Climber

Ever since Kacie started walking, she has also become quite the climber. Here are some examples of my adventurous little girl.

This is the way she likes to play on her slide

She started climbing on the ottoman from her Minnie Mouse chair and sitting on top. One day, she decided she would try to get down on the other side. 

Then she started getting into her chair like this. We were laughing so hard!!

She is trying so hard to climb on other things, but is not quite tall enough. She hikes her little knee up and says, "up, up!" Always making us laugh!

Mother's Day

This weekend I celebrated my 2nd Mother's Day! The 3 of us went to Red Robin (one of my favorite places) on Saturday night. This is the only picture I got of my little sweetie and me.

 On Sunday, I got a new Rangers shirt and the new Carrie Underwood CD from Jason & Kacie. (yes, I still like to have CDs in my car!) Then my parents came over for a little bit on their way to Irving to visit my Grandma.

Kacie & Grandma Bonnie

 3 Generations on Mother's Day!

 Watching Kacie play...aka push her music table around the living room

 She loves putting things in the basket of her horsey

It was a very relaxing day, and I am so incredibly thankful I get to be the mother of this little angel!!

More Picture Fun

Here is what the Wicherts have been up to the past week...

She stays away from our living room TV, but this week, she discovered how "fun" it is to push the buttons on our other TV. We have had to redirect and say a lot of "no-no" when she walks in there. This is funny because of her static hair!

 Playing with her blocks

Silly noises!

  Looking at her books

Jabbering away

  Funny face

 Playing in her "play house"

 Look at that sweet face

 Look at me!!!

 Rocking before bedtime

 Ready for church
