What our little munchking has been up to these days...
-Loving all things babies. If she see's a picture of a baby she'll point at it and say "baby!". If she see's a real life baby she'll run over to it, try to poke her finger in their eyes and says "babybabybabybabybabybabybabybaby!" She loves her dolls now and gives them kisses and hugs.
-Loving the water and summer weather. She's always trying to play with the hose when I'm out watering plants. Today she played with her cousin Jaxon in a toddler pool and had a blast. She's going to LOVE the splash park as soon as that opens up. I anticipate being there all summer with her :) She's already so tan and it's only May!
-Loving her new (to her) little red tricycle. She likes to have us push her on it since her feet are still a little to short for the petals.
-Loving our neighbor's dogs. She's always trying to head up or down the street to check out the neighbors labs. She'll crouch down and open her arms hoping they'll run into her arms for a hug. It's cute to watch.
-Is now an expert at touching her head, eyes, nose, ears, belly button and feet when requested.
-Doesn't like her diaper. Try's to rip it off when not wearing pants or a diaper cover.
-Likes "talking" on the phone/ cell phone. Makes her displeasure known if we talk on the phone and she doesn't get to.
-Shrugs her shoulders.
-Screetches, hollars, and generally makes a commotion if I try to take her into stores anymore. She did so well when she was a baby. I guess it happens to everyone at some point. I try to leave her with Jared if at all possible anymore because it's so much harder now.
-Last week during sacrament meeting during the first speaker she started saying "Bye!", giving us a wave and tried to escape to the isle.
-Loves nursery. She's done better than I could have ever asked for. Loves going and plays well with the other children.
She's the sweetest thing ever. We love our little cupcake!

so I know nobody cares but anyway...
Still trying to get the hang of the coupon thing. Here's my victory over Wal.greens over the past two weeks. Again I'm no expert, but for $13 I've managed to get...
2 big bags of M&M's... yum! ($3.80 for 2, received $1 RR)
2 tubes of Colgate Toothpaste ($8 for both, minus two $1 MFC =$6.00, received $4.5 RR and $2 RR)
1 Right Gaurd Deodorant ($3 minus $1 MFC, minus $2 RR= free)
1 Loreal Featherlash Mascara... which happens to be my fave ($3.99 on clearance, minus $2 MFC, minus $2RR= free)
5 Boxes of 36 count Tampons ($1.90 each on clearance= $9.50, minus $4.50 RR from colgate, minus $2 RR from Deodorant, minus $1 RR for M&M's= .40 cents each)
Sounds like a lot of work but it wasn't bad. I've decided some of it is just luck with what you can find in the clearance bin, and if it's something you'd need to begin with and combining the sales of the week.
I'm still not pleased with the grocery shopping through. Two weeks ago I got about $15 worth of grocery items for dirt cheap, but it literally took me three hours of running to three different stores, all while dragging a cranky Kylie around with me. I think I value my time a little more than that, even if it's just sitting at the playground watching our sweet munchkin. I've noticed a lot of the coupons for grocery items are things I'd never buy anyway, or they are for very overprocessed foods. So I think I'm just going to stick with the drug store type items and cereal. We go through cereal at this house like you wouldn't believe. Walg.reens is literally about three minutes from my house which helps.

Good Day
but Y*A*W*N I am so tired!
This morning I was up early and brought out some of our things to our neighbors yard sale. My friend Ambra is moving soon :( and they were also trying to clean out their clothes that their daughter had grown out of. So I got the pleasure of spending an hour yesterday at her house, rummaging through her bins and making a pile of cute things for Kylie to grow into in the next few years. She made a good sale off of me by time I had that pile of clothes, two pairs of shoes for her, a new doll and a toy. I also ran up the road to our other friends yard sale and scored some cute items for my little nephews. I have to say that my neighbors have my similar tastes in clothes which made it very fun and not frustrating, unlike with some yard sales I've been to in the past.
Mid morning I found out from Ambra and her mom that Kneaders was having free french toast for moms so I ran over there to get some. I've been skeptical in the past, but it met all the rave reviews I've heard about their french toast. Yum! I didn't sell as much stuff as I wanted to at the yard sale but it was fun. My first time doing anything like that. And Kylie had a good time playing with our neighbors and riding around on their toys. She is so stinking cute!
After lunch Kylie went down for a nap, and Jared watched her while I drove to my appointment to donate some blood to the blood bank. They call me every 3-4 months to try to get me to come in. So after being bleeding like a stuck pig (j/k) I ran over to Home Depot where it was a zoo. I don't think I've ever seen so many people there at once. Everyone, their neighbor, their doctor and their dog were at the Home Depot in Murry today. I got a few shrubs for our backyard and was happy to see my little one again. I love walking in the door and she'll run up to us and give us a big hug. It's the best.
Tonight Jared took me to dinner to Applebees (my choice) for mother's day. We haven't been out to eat at a restaurant in so long! We were trying to remember and the last time we went was back in November. Kylie did pretty well, but still was a handful at times. She wanted to eat her crayons, make friends with the neighbors sitting next to us, play with the salt and pepper packets, and when all else failed she started squawking when she was being forced to sit in the booster instead of next to us. And she chucked a piece of hard boiled egg from my salad into the isle as hard as she could.
All in all it was a great day. But I'm very tired.

Stats (and oreos)
Kylie had her 18 month appointment last Tuesday. I was shocked that she only had to get one vaccination this time! Awesome. It's always been of the two nurses variety before.
I called Jared at work a little bit before her appointment. He thought I should bring her a treat for afterwords since she's older now and probably wouldn't understand why we'd be holding her down and hurting her (I know, I know, they'll never remember but still). She cried so very hard for about ten seconds. She was still in full blown tears when I whipped an an Oreo out of my purse she abruptly swallowed her cry and stuffed it in her mouth. And that my friends was the end of it! So it's official. Our little munchkin loves Oreo's as much as her mom :)
Here are her stats. She's starting to slim down once she started walking, but is still very tall for her age. The doctor said she looks perfect, which I couldn't agree with more!
Weight: 26 lbs 6.5 oz (78% percentile)
Height: 33.5 inches (93% percentile)
Head Circumference: 19.1 inches (93% percentile)
