Crawling

The attack of the dog

Okay, it wasn't an attack, but that title sounded cool. Yesterday I went out to check the mail and as I turned around to go back to the house, a big black rottweiler came out of nowhere and was running full speed right at me. I've heard to not run from dogs, although that's what I wanted to do, so instead I did the first thing that popped into my head, I yelled really loud "GO!" and pointed with my finger. The dog stopped immediately and just waited as I walked by (shaking like crazy) and hurried into my house.

I've never seen this dog before and it scared me sooo bad! I'm kind of afraid of dogs if I don't know them and whose they are. I was so glad the dog stopped and that nothing worse happened. I'm also glad I didn't have Kayleigh with me, she was inside sleeping. Needless to say, I'm now afraid of checking the mail.

My little reader

Kayleigh loves to sit and pull all of her books off of her shelf in her room. She can entertain herself here for about 30 minutes. Maybe one day she'll be a great reader!

My little chubby bubby!

Just some pictures

Kayleigh always trys to eat her golf balls, it's so funny.
Whenever I tell Kayleigh we need to take her picture, she doesn't smile, she just looks at me.
I love this one, check out her big blue eyes!

Since I hadn't posted any pics in awhile I thought I'd put these on.

This girl loves that moon.

In this video you can't really see anything because it's so dark, but you can hear everything. Kayleigh was so excited last night when she was able to see the moon in the sky at night. We've been waiting for it to finally show up, since it's a new moon. She asks about it everyday and finally yesterday we got to see it.

Taxes

Good news! We found out today we don't have to pay any money to the government. In fact, we are getting some money back, that's always a nice surprise. A couple of years ago we had to pay a good amount and it wasn't any fun so every year at this time I get a little nervous. I think having a baby in '07 helped us out a little, thanks Kayleigh. So, I think we'll be purchasing a new computer, yay! The one we have is sooo slow and always says we have errors, so that will be nice to get a new one.

Kayleigh's developing fast!

It seems that this past weekend Kayleigh has been full of firsts! On Friday we were at my parent's house watching my brother and she did two great things, sucked from a straw and took her first steps alone. We are so proud of her! What is very frustrating though is that she walked very timidly by herself about 5 times. I sent Michael home to get our camera, when he came back, she wouldn't do it. Since then she hasn't done it. What a stinker! If you stand her up and let go then she will just stand there forever, not even moving her feet. So, I'll continue to wait for my little girl to begin walking.

Her crawling skills have gotten better though and she seems to do it more often of her own free will. And her last big thing for this weekend was that on Sunday she was crying and had her mouth open big and I could see in well and to my surprise this girl has already popped her first molar! It's on her top left side. I can't believe it.

More movies

This weekend I took two more off my list of must sees. We rented Singles 2nd Ward-full of Mormon humor and funny but cheesy. I think I liked the first one better. I do enjoy when the same actors are used in 2nds though which they did so that was great. We also watched Turn Around, another LDS film, it was very cute and had a great message, why couldn't they just kiss at the end though? That is my only complaint. We've also rented August Rush-heard great things about this one, so hopefully tonight we can watch it.

April Fools

First off, what was the opening of American Idol all about? What an April Fools! For our own April Fools Michael called me after he got off work to tell me he'd just been rear ended. Michael often teases me with things like this so right off I said, "Are you serious?" He said yes and my heart sunk, his tone was very convincing. I said I needed to get Kayleigh out of the car and down for a nap but that I'd call him back. When I hung up the phone I thought, it's April Fools Day. I didn't want to get my hopes up though that he hadn't really gotten in an accident so I hurried and took care of Kayleigh and called him back. He continued to tell me how a guy hit him because he didn't see that the light was red. They didn't call the cops but Michael got all of his insurance info. I was kind of mad because I always think you should call the cops. Anyway, I told Michael that and he said, "Well, on any other day of the year I would have." Ha ha! I was really glad he hadn't been hit, that would have been awful!

It's a miracle!

Kayleigh crawled today! It was at my mom's house (I was there watching my brother) and there was a tin on the floor she wanted. I told her to go and get it and she did! It was pretty close to her so I thought it was maybe a fluke. When my mom got home I had her try it again, he had to entice her with a toy, but she did it! Up on her hands and knees, just like real crawling, it wasn't scooting. I can't believe it! Now that I know she can do it no more nice mommy getting everything for her. I don't know how much she'll do it since she is close to walking now, but we'll see. I am glad she did it though! There's something about my parents that makes this girl do things though. She was born on my dad's birthday and crawled on my mom's birthday, hmm...
