  • Good morning  


    Today is a very special day around here.  Two years ago today after being awake for over 30 hours.  I finally pushed Kaylin Joy out.  At 8 lbs even and 19.5 inches long. 


                            

    My parents called her the most contenteded baby they'd ever seen and were convinced she was smiling when she was less then 20 minutes old.  Of course she couldn't show that smile to the photographer at Walmart


    She was a HARD nurser.  And we worked very hard to conquer that.  And 2 years later *Gasp*  I'm officially nursing a two year old.   I don't think I've ever been so stubborn about anything in my life.  And so good about winning that battle. 


    She has stayed a happy baby.  And if she's cranky we KNOW she's got something wrong.  Teething, sick, etc.   She can make me smile over anybody else in this house.   I hope so desperately she doesn't loose that ability.


    She never crawled until after she walked.  Instead she scooted on her butt...pulling with her hands.  We called it the Scrawl.  And it took her forever to learn to walk...because she discovered quite early on that the push toy with wheels could allow her to get anywhere she wanted to anyhow.  


    She is my climber.  At 13 months she figured out how to get up onto the piano bench and was standing on the piano keys headed for the next level when I removed her from the scene of the crime.  She's been up on the table, etc, etc.


    She's not as social as my other kids...and prefers her mommys and daddys company but is starting to grow out of that some. 


          


    She's a slow talker...but can communicate pretty much all she wants with sign language (her own version)  And going and getting it herself.


    Her favoritest things to play with are dolls.  And she pretty much always has one in her hand. 


                      


    All and all she's very special (of course)  And I'm very excited to say


    Happy Birthday Kaylin
