Kaylynn & I travelled to Ft.Wayne to spend time with my grandparents. My grandpa is a WWII veteran and participated in the Memorial Day Parade. As you can plainly see, Kaylynn wasn't exactly thrilled about having her picture taken--but this mama wanted a family photo shoot with a WWII veteran. Maybe someday Kaylynn will appreciate that her mama tried to take pictures of her.

Precious!

Kaylynn loves to boogie!

Eatin Great-Grandma's Chicken & Dumplins

Kaylynn sure enjoyed eating great-grandma's chicken and dumplins!

Kaylynn didn't have much of an appetite during our visit, but she happily surprised her mommy, mamaw, and great-grandma when she scarfed down some chicken and dumplins!

There is nothing better than great-grandma's chicken and dumplins!

Happy Memorial Day!

Kaylynn & Lincoln

So the cutest thing happened yesterday--Kaylynn's little buddy, Lincoln, came over to visit. My mom told me that Kaylynn was feeding and taking care of Lincoln like a baby! I guess Kaylynn had a lot of fun with her little friend. Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures or video because I wasn't home---but I guess they both had fun chasing each other around the house, eating snacks together, and sharing (or not sharing) toys!

Potty Training Here We Come!

Mommy bought me something. Whatever could it be?
A brand new potty...just for me!

Kaylynn and I are beginning the journey of potty training!

First Trip To The Zoo!

Kaylynn and Mommy loving the train ride at the zoo!

Kaylynn took her first trip to the Indianapolis zoo with her mommy, daddy, and grandma.

Even though she was feeling slightly under the weather, she had fun looking at all the animals.

Kaylynn loves owls!

But I think she enjoyed the little chickens most of all!

Even though Kaylynn opted out of the pony ride--she still wanted to pet the pony!

Lincoln & Kaylynn

Last weekend, Lincoln came to visit Kaylynn!

They both enjoyed root beer and a wagon ride.

They had fun playing ball.

Kaylynn had fun sharing her toys with little Lincoln!

All Banged Up

Kaylynn had her first major "owie" accident a few weekends ago.

She was overly exhausted and fell flat on the concrete cement.

Poor girl--I am glad to see her nose is finally healing!

Time Flies!

I can't believe how quickly my little girl is growing up! I vividly remember holding her in my arms when she was days old--now she is playing mommy and toting her babies around the house! Every morning she wakes up and immediately grabs her baby dolls. She gives them a kiss and she makes her babies kiss each other. She pushes them in her grocery cart or stroller and says "Bye-Bye"--indicating that they are going on a trip. Eighteen months and she is already exhibiting a tremendous amount of inventive play. She feeds her babies, gives them a bath, and takes them bye-bye! Kaylynn is so thoughtful and caring!

Kaylynn Exploring Her New Home!

I am so excited! My parents just bought a new house with a lake and some acreage!

Eating Lunch In Our New House!

Taken A Stroll

Look at Kaylynn's new toy! It came with the house that my parents just purchased! The owners left a few toys especially for Ditty!


Here is the lake behind my parents house! Kaylynn enjoyed watching the frolicking geese!

This toy is so amazing! I was contemplating buying one for Kaylynn, but I wasn't sure if Kaylynn would like it! I am glad I didn't buy one because this one was free!

Kaylynn by our barn. I wish she would smile!

Kaylynn by the woods. We are looking forward to watching the deer this fall!

Happy Easter!

Being a mother is the best thing in the world! I love my little girl with all my heart! I am so grateful for my wonderful and healthy little girl. As I sit an ponder this glorious Easter holiday, I am truly amazed with the gift that God has bestowed upon us! Thank-You Jesus for your sacrifice and gift of life!

Our Excursion To Craig Park

This evening Kaylynn and I drove Dairy Queen, but it was closed---so we went to Craig Park! We had a wonderful time playing mommy & baby, feeding the ducks, and making new friends! This is a picture of Kaylynn actually posing for the camera! Yes, she knew mommy was taking a picture and she decided to smile anyway! I just love this little girl!

Making Friends

Kaylynn surprised me this evening by actually trying to communicate with this little girl! I am not sure this little girl understood Kaylynn's English babble because she only spoke Spanish! Kaylynn loved this little girl's vibrant personality!

They were actually playing mommy and baby together. The little girl was speaking only Spanish, and Kaylynn was only speaking toddler babble! It was so adorable! You just had to be there!

Pushing Her Baby

Kaylynn is really getting into the mommy thing. She wants to take her little baby girl everywhere! I was tickled pink when she started pushing her baby in the swing!

Kaylynn was having so much fun pushing her little girl. She tried to be as gentle as possible. She even kissed the baby when she fell off the swing!

Kaylynn is putting the baby back on the swing after she fell off.

Smiling for the camera again! I sure hit the jackpot today with Kaylynn smiling!

Observing

Kaylynn is watching the other children playing on the playground. This is so Kaylynn. She is quite the observer and very reluctant around new people.

Kaylynn sees the little vibrant Hispanic girl. I could tell right away that Kaylynn wanted to meet her!

I was amazed how intenly she was staring at the other little girl.

She is so bashful, but we lots of encouragement from mommy---we said hello to the little girl. Mommy translated for Ditty!

Fun Times At Craig Park

Ditty is enjoying the cool breeze as she pushes her baby in the stroller.

She is so proud of her little baby!

Kaylynn is gazing at the quacking ducks in the distance.

Craig Park brings back memories. I use to go to the park to feed the ducks when I was little!
