Kellyn is Getting OLD!

I haven't given a Kellyn update for a long time. She is growing up so fast. I watched some videos of her from just a few months ago and I can't believe how much she's changed. So here's another bulleted Kellyn list.

• BUSY BUSY BUSY! If she is awake, she is non-stop doing something or into something.
• She can go on the slide at the park by herself!
• Loves to swing.
• We go on a walk every morning and she loves to get outside.
• She always wants to go on the deck just to be outside.
• She is really into books--not so much into movies anymore.
• Fascinated with flies and the moon. We always have to go look for the moon, no matter the time of day.
• Daddy introduced her to juice and it is now her beverage of choice.
• Church is absolutely crazy. Nursery is only a few long months away!
• Loves to play with her friend Maeva and visit Grandma's house.
• Still loves dogs
• She is now taking one nap a day and will sleep from 6-7:30. (If mom can get it together and get her in bed early.)
• Favorite foods are bananas and cheese.
• She is in love with Elmo.
• She is "talking" all the time and says tons of new words. Here are a few. I'm sure I'm forgetting some. "Melmo (Elmo), Fly, Hi, Moon, Car, Home, Apple, Happa (Happy), Turtle, Off, Up, NO, Knee, Shhh (holds her finger up to her nose/mouth), Blue, Amen"

She has graduated to pig tails and a forward facing car seat. Although we turned the car seat back around now because she seems more comfortable and safe that way.
Her original elephant Halloween costume was so cute. Then the zipper broke and we couldn't find another one in the right size. So she ended up being a monkey. It wasn't that cute and she kinda looked like a boy. We took her trick-or-treating at Jared's Grandma's nursing home. Everyone kept saying "he is so cute!" She picked up the concept of getting free candy really quickly. She would go take a piece out of their buckets and put it right in her basket. We were so proud! She loves swimming!

And she loves dressing up. She brings me clothes and wants me to put them on her.

Then she has to check herself out in the mirror. She has on a headband, pajama cape, leg warmer on her arm, and one of my socks. She picked this outfit out herself and thought she looked pretty awesome!

We went to the aquarium to see all the miserable ocean animals crammed into tiny fish tanks. I don't know that I can handle going again but she had fun.

Here's a video of her saying hi and playing with her friend Maeva on the deck.

I can't believe how big she's getting. I love this age. Even though she wears me out, it is so much fun to see how fast she's growing and learning. She makes life so entertaining.

We love her!
