My friend Paige watched Kylee while Marc and I went House shopping. Paige is Bennett's mom. Kylee and Bennett are so adorable. I am pretty sure that is them holding hands in the car again! Thanks Paige for being so helpful and blogging about it:) Seeing those to playing puts a smile on my face.

Mango

Saturday we headed up to pick up our new member of our family. We have been looking for months to find the perfect dog. Marc and I had agreed on a cockapoo they do not shed much and are known to be good with children. My mother has a friend who has a great cockapoo. When she looked into it the breeders had exactly what we were looking for. My very nice parents drove myself and the girls 2 hours away to the country for this little guy and it was totally worth it. They even gave it to Chenoa for her birthday. Now Chenoa is so excited she was able to tell her friends she got a dog for her birthday.
After much talk and what seemed to be torture to Chenoa we finally decided on a name, Mango.
I didn't have a decent picture of my parents and Keiko who rode in front. It was just to bright. Sorry you guys! But they were there and made it all happen. Thank You so much
Kylee missed her nap so when we stopped at Denny's. She thought the top of the booth looked like a perfect place to lay down... she is a little silly sometimes!

The proud parents. The mother on the left was so sweet. She came right up to me to say hello. She was very gentle and kind.

All the puppies seemed very nice and well socialized. What cuties!



These puppies were so playful and adorable.

Kylee was so excited to be able to hold one of the puppies.

We Heart Mango!!!


Chenoa was able to hold our little Mango on the way home.

We were excited to drive home with our new little puppy.

Kylee and the never ending saga of the Paci!

Well after 2 days of Kylee not being able to sleep. I finally gave in and brought the pacifier back out. Now that Kylee is better we have very strict rules about only having the pacifier at nap or nightime. Besides who could deny these important necessaties for sleep: Airplane blanket, Pacifier, Lilly Mae, (the frog/blanky) and Hot Dog (the teddy bear).

Finally, Kylee is feeling better. No more ear infection. She had ear fluid but the doctor gave her decongestant. Now Kylee is having a language explosion. She is saying everything and anything and she smiles all the time. It was so adorable whe she said, "I Love You" to Daddy for the first time!

Paci Fairy

Today was the big day. We had been talking about it all week. Today the Paci Fairy came to visit. The past three weeks Kylee has relied heavily on her pacifier. Her ear infections made her uncomfortable so I was willing to offer her the pacifier to comfort her. It became clear she needed to give it up when she got better but wouldn't give it up.

First we collected all her pacifier's. They are in the baggy. Then Kylee put them in our mail box.

When we headed outside there was a present from the Paci Fairy on our porch. It was a baby with a stroller and extras.

Kylee was very excited to get her baby and brought it with her to the bike store. She ran her doll around in the stroller and she also rocked the baby while singing to it.


It was tough before bed time she asked for her "bapi" as she calls. Kylee cried for a while in her crib. It was hard to hear but I know she is better off. Kylee will be talking even more. She has been trying to put words together since Bennett came to visit. Kylee has been so great at communicating without using a lot of words she hasn't needed to talk to much. We have been practicing the letter sounds at home and working on saying a new word each day. Kylee is blossoming with her language skills. Getting rid of the pacifier was the next step. Our next challenge trying potty training.... again!
