Crazy KayLeigh

We haven't done much since my last post, just been hanging out, going to doctors appointments, and a couple trips to the zoo, to enjoy the last days of nice weather :) We've been trying to work with Kay on potty training a little bit more, since she's actually showing interest. She used the potty 3 times yesterday, which is a record for her! It's going to take a while still, and I'm not ready to take the side of her crib, so I know we'll have to wait before she can potty train at night, but that's ok, we're making slow and steady progress :)

She has just been completely hilarious lately though. So I thought I would write down some of the silly things she has been saying, that way you all can laugh along with us :)

We were sitting in the living room watching a movie, and the dogs starting barking outside..Kay looked at me and said "you kidding me Fifi?!"  haha, fifi is what she calls wolfie, and apparently she wasn't too happy with him barking during her movie...

Kay was trying to get out of the living room into our entryway, she got the door open and when I asked her what she was doing she replied " I go peepee real quick"  lol, when I leave the room, I tell her I"m going to the potty real quick, and I"ll be right back, apparently she thought it would work for her too!

I told Kay to give Daddy some love before I put her to bed last night, and she looked at him, then bit his foot... interesting idea of love...

She also keeps insisting that she has a "baby ringin" (how she says Raigan) in her belly too.. the other day she finally pointed to her belly and said "baby ringin?? nooo...just mommy has baby, just mommy" lol
then she proceeded to give my belly a kiss and say "it's big momma!!" haha, thanks kay

She was chewing on one of Wolfie's dog toys.. and I told her not to chew on it, she's not a dog. KayLeigh replied "no, Kiwi's a kitty, no doggy, just a kitty" lol.
(she calls herself Kiwi, and she has been very into pretending she's a kitty lately. she even puts a belt around her waist and says it's her tail :)
She's been pretty entertaining lately, and it seems like she has something new and silly to say every day. I really can't believe that we're about to have another one in 4 or 5 weeks!! At our last appointment my doctor said Raigan is still head down (yay) and seems pretty comfortable in there, he said he wouldn't be surprised if  I went over 40 weeks this time like I did with KayLeigh, so we'll see what happens!! I'm looking forward to seeing what she looks like, and I"m excited for Kay to meet her little sister :)

wow. 8 months.

Well apparently I am horrible at keeping up with this blog. But after seeing my sister's, I felt like a total slacker, so I had to start up again :)
I'll try to give you a brief update on our lives over the past few months!!
    Over the summer we had our visit with Breanna, we had a great time, and got to do some traveling with her. Mat's Dad, and Pam came to visit us for a few days while Breanna was here, so we all got to go see some sights in Germany together. We went to Neuschweinstein castle, the Linderhoff, and stayed at Edelweiss resort. It was a really nice trip. KayLeigh is old enough now that she loved having her older sister here, and they played really well together all summer, it was sad as always to see her go, and even more so now that Kay misses her too :( But we've only got about a year and a half left here, and hopefully we'll be moving back to the states after this so we will be closer to family! 
Mat and I found out we were expecting again in March, and we've been busy getting ready for another baby girl! We've decided to name her Raigan DeLois, or as KayLeigh calls her "baby ringin" lol. she seems to understand what's going on a little bit, she gives my belly hugs, and tries to share her snacks with "ringin" I think she'll adjust to her fairly quickly, she loves helping mommy out, and playing with her baby dolls, so hopefully things will go smoothly!! Our due date is creeping up on us very quickly this time, it seems like I was waiting forever for KayLeigh, and this pregnancy is just flying by! 
         I'm delivering at a different hospital this time, and I couldn't be happier with the decision. My doctor speaks wonderful english and makes Mat and I feel very comfortable. The hospital staff are all very nice so far, and I'm looking forward to delivering there. 

We had Kay's second birthday party in August with her friend Brody, I think they had a blast! We had a bouncy house for the kids, an elmo cake for KayLeigh, and they both got lots of presents and attention. I can't believe how fast she is growing up!  It seems like she learns something new everyday! at two KayLeigh is now...

  •  Singing the abc's (and you can almost understand all of it!)
  • Singing the itsy bitsy spider, with hand motions
  • counting to 5 (sometimes higher, with the help of sesame street songs)
  • Identifying a ton of animals and their noises, Mat taught her what a wolf says not too long ago :)
  • understanding the concept of doing something at a later time (after nap, in the morning)
  • has a very strong opinion on what she wants to wear everyday (usually involves a tutu)
  • she is learning her colors
  • telling us what she wants to do that day 
  • she loves going "sopping" (shopping)
  • seems to have an even better memory than mat and I lol
  • Has a sense of humor, she thinks it's hilarious to tell us that cows say "baaaa"
She is doing so much everyday, it's hard to keep up! she can start belgian preschool in February and will be going for half days, where she will hopefully make lots of little friends :)
 We're  planning on doing the trunk or treat on base again this year, and have ordered lots of spooky decorations for the car! Kay is going to be a spider, she picked it out!  
We usually have more pictures, but our camera that Mat bought me last year decided to break :( so we've only had our phones for a while now. we're going to try and get a nice one before Raigan is born, so we can have some real pictures of her, not just phone pics lol. 

The past few months have really flown by, and I expect the next to do the same, especially after Raigan arrives! I'll try to post a blog at least once a month to keep everyone a little more up to date :) Love you all!
