Being Miss K.

Our Kamryn is quite a character! She will be 21 months old this week & I can hardly believe it. She is so full of drama...from huge boisterous laughter to screaming a high pitched scream. Oh my...this girl is not even 2 years old yet & keeps us on our toes every minute of the day!

She is constantly talking very, very loudly...unless we tell her to be quiet, to which she responds by putting her finger to her mouth & says "shhh...quiet...baby sleepin'". Every time she yells we tell her she's going to wake up all of the babies...so now she just shushes herself!

The other night Cayden & Addyson were in bed & Eric & I were just playing with Kamryn. We have so much fun spending some time alone at night with just her. She keeps us laughing every night! One thing for certain is that she speaks her mind. We were laying on the floor & she wanted Daddy to come over by her. Well, apparently he wasn't coming over fast enough, because she got a pillow out, sat on it, patted the spot on the pillow next to her, & said(or should I say yelled) "Daddy!!! Sit!!! Butt!!". All the while patting the spot where she wanted her Daddy to sit! Man is she cute!!

For the last couple months she has been asking "why??" to everything we say. And it's always in the right context too, which is a little bit unusual at this early of an age. She is so curious about everything...& always has to know why we said what we did. Another thing she has started the last few weeks is asking "what??!!". And this is a very emphatic "what??!!!. If Eric & I are talking quietly about something she'll hear it & yell from the other room..."what???". Or if anyone in the family is laughing about something she yells "what??!!". Today we took her into church with us for awhile & Eric whispered something to me, to which she yelled out quite loudly "what??!!". And the funny thing is that she doesn't stop yelling it until you answer her. Oh man is it funny!

Every time one of us sneezes, which is a lot in our house, she immediately says "bless YOU!!" with an emphasis on the YOU!! And every single time someone in the house toots or burps she yells "scuse YOU!!". Even when she toots or burps she says the same & giggles! A couple of times one of the kids has smelled something stinky & will go around asking who did it, and Kamryn will shout out "ME!!!". Since we live in a house with a little boy who is ALL BOY...the burping & tooting happens quite often! I'm sure she's going to grow up into quite the little lady.

When we change her poopy diaper she makes a comment every time. Usually it's "oh gross", "ewwww", or "stinky"...and she's been overheard saying "skusting"(disgusting) as well.

She will definitely hold her own & will not let herself be bullied, in fact, a lot of the times she herself is doing the bullying. The last couple months she has had a little bit of an issue with just walking up to Addyson & pulling out a huge clump of her hair. This ALWAYS causes Addyson to let out a huge scream. And there's Kamryn standing there with a huge clump of Addyson's hair. Poor thing! I make her go over to Addyson & give her a hug & then she says "sossy"(sorry) very nicely. I have actually tried everything to get her to stop...from timeouts, slapping her gently on the hand, talkings, to finally last week I actually pulled Kamryn's hair back. I really have always been against this type of punishment...until I had Kamryn. :) The first time I pulled her hair she kind of looked at me like, "hey, why did you do that?", the second time I pulled pretty hard & she looked at me & laughed. Got any suggestions, anyone???

Okay...so I need to go upstairs & pack for the trip we're leaving on tomorrow. I'll leave you with 2 cute pictures of our baby. They are both from the night of Cayden's Kindergarten program...when she decided to jump in our pool with all of her clothes on...right before we were about to leave. Can't you just see the stinker written all over her face!!!
