It's been a while....

I haven't been the best about blogging lately. Between getting things together to get our taxes done and now getting the house ready for our Realtor to come look at and see if it's ready to list on the market....we've been pretty busy. I did want to take a moment though and update everyone. Last week I found that Kaelyn showed an immense interest in coloring and using a pen on paper. We had fun doing this many times throughout the week. It's neat to see her learning new things...each is such a vital stage in her development. :)

Kaelyn has also been talking like crazy...as usual...however, she recently learned that animal sounds are pretty fun to say and make. She knows several...but her favorites are making bear, bird, kitty, and monkey sounds. Anyone with kids knows how hard it can be to catch something on video. It seems they're doing something one minute, but the next when the camera is on they absolutely won't. We had been trying for quite some time to get some of her animal sounds on video, and finally got that chance!! It has been pretty fun to listen to her little voice and the new things she has been saying. Her new favorites are "shaw" and "pup" (aka....straw and cup ;)).

Anyone who knows Kaelyn, or who has seen pictures of her for that matter, knows that she doesn't have a whole lot of hair yet. Although, it has grown quite a bit from the time she was first born. In fact.....it has gotten so long that we got what is as close to pigtails as we have had up until this point and got some pictures of it. They stick straight up and were so cute. haha :) We loved it. Kaelyn enjoyed looking in the mirror and staring at them too.

Our weekend was wonderful! Scott had taken me out for Valentine's Day last weekend to the Olive Garden, so this weekend we just had the chance to spend time together as a family here at home. Friday night we went out to eat with my parents and spent some time with them which was fun too. :) Tonight and Tomorrow we finish laundry and get Scott packed up to go on his business trip this week. He gets to go golfing which he's very excited about. Kaelyn and I will be visiting my parents for some of that time, as it's always nice to have company and some help when Scott has to be gone. It should be a good week! :)

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Valentine's weekend and I will try to be better about updating over the coming weeks!
