TWO

Kylie Jo is TWO!!!
The past two years have gone by too fast. It seems like just yesterday we were bringing Kylie home for the first time. She is growing up so fast.
For her birthday this year we did something special. We visited the NICU and took the nurses a veggie and fruit tray. We also took onesies and blankets for the babies. Kylie was only in the NICU for seven days, but it seemed like forever to us. We are very grateful for all the NICU nurses did for her in those seven days. We want to make the tradition of thanking the nurses every year.
On Kylie's actual birthday we didn't really do much. We took her to lunch at Cotton Patch. She ate everything on her plate (corndog, mandarin oranges, and corn) and half a roll. She was a hungry girl!!
Her birthday party is this coming Saturday. It is a monkey themed party, and we have some fun games planned.

All About Kylie Jo at 2 Years Old:

• Still very tall for age. We will find out her exact height at her 2 year checkup later this week
• Still a skinny girl. She eats all the time, but never gains weight. It probably helps that she is running around all the time.
• Wears size 6 or 7 in shoes
• Likes to draw/color
• Likes splashing in her bath or any water she can get her hands in (sink, pool, etc)
• Favorite Shows: Dora the Explorer and Ni Hao Kailan
• Favorite Toy: Daddy's cellphone
• Favorite Foods: Bread, Bananas, Cheese, Lunchables, Fruit Snacks, and Mac N Cheese
• Still takes two naps a day (most of the time). She loves her sleep.
• Rode on an airplane for the first time and did great! I think she is going to be a great traveler.
• Likes to wave and say hi to almost anybody
• Can do a somersault (just started doing this last week)
• Likes to spin around and around
• Still the sweetest girl ever (most of the time) :)

Kylie Jo,
The past two years have gone by too fast. Mommy and Daddy wish you wouldn't grow up so fast, but we love watching you learn new things everyday. You are the best little girl anyone could ask for, and we are blessed to have you in our lives. Happy Birthday baby girl!! We love you very much!!!


Update on KJ's 2 year stats:
She is still 35 inches tall and she weighs about 28 pounds. The doctor said she is a little underweight for her age, but she eats all of the time. He said her height is faster than her weight. She had to get one shot :(, but no more checkups until she is 4.
