A Picture Taking Kind of Day

I decided to take some pictures of Kylie this morning and she was such a ham. That never happens....believe me, I've taken at ton of pictures of this child. I'm going to have her 2 year pictures taken in a couple of weeks. I only hope it goes as well as today did.

What was I thinking?

Yesterday, we (Kylie and I) babysat an 8 1/2 month old. Things went pretty well until it was time for Kylie to take a nap. I placed the baby in the pack 'n play until I could get Kylie down, but I only succeeded in making her mad, because all she did was scream. Which woke Kylie up and caused her to cry because the baby was crying. So I packed them both up and decided to drive until one of them fell asleep. The baby fell asleep first so when we got home I put Kylie to sleep. She slept for about 30 minutes before she woke up crying, because she's got a cold now.

Kylie was so good with her. She woke up this morning asking about the baby. She actually spoke the word instead of signing it.

As a side note, I think two kids would be a good weight loss program. I made lunch yesterday, but didn't get to eat it.

I am now the mother of a two year old

I find it hard to believe that Kylie is two already. Where did the time go? We had just a small birthday party for her. It didn't start until 11:45 because of church, but that was 15 minutes before our normal nap time. So we didn't have long until meltdown occured.
It was a Barney party since she adores him. I had to special order the stuff since there's not a store in town that carries Barney supplies and.... I waited too long to look around. But that at least went over well with her.
This year she knew what to do with her cake, but like her mother, she only ate the frosting. It's funny how they pick up those little habits.
My wish is for a mild case of the terrible twos. I hope being an Irish Pole isn't a recipe for disaster. I guess we'll soon find out.
