March Madness!!

The weather at the beginning of March was beautiful! We had some fun days playing outside. We found some chalk for $1 the other day and I bought it for Kiley's Easter present. Well, because it has been so nice, we decided to get the chalk out early and see what Kiley thought of it. She loves the chalk and has loved being able to play outside and draw on everything: the sidewalk, house, cars, fence, herself, oh and Daisy. She is pretty funny.

 Kiley also has been really clingy lately. She loves to cuddle with Mom and Dad, but doesn't like it when Mom and Dad cuddle. She also loves to feel and kiss her baby sister. She is going to be a sweet big sister which is coming very soon!! Hopefully, she really will be sweet and have a sudden drastic change. Fingers crossed.

 So Kiley has been addicted to the movie "Tangled." She calls it "Neigh" because of the horse in it. We have probably watched Tangled twice everyday in March. The last few days haven't been very warm outside so its hard to tell her no, especially since I've been so tired. But now that the weather is warming up again, she's been limited to one time a day and it is usually Dad who puts it on for her. Maybe we'll be able to kick this little habit and get her watching something a little more educational. It is nice that Tangled is such a good movie though. It means that when I realize I'm the only one in the room watching, I don't feel so silly like I do when getting caught up in Wiggles or some other silly kids show.

I love Pinterest!! I try to limit myself to only getting on a couple times a week, or for a few minutes at a time. Well, I found a fabulous recipe for homemade finger paints. Since it was snowing one day, I decided to try it out. It was fabulous and Kiley couldn't have been happier. The best part for me was that I didn't have to worry about her eating the paints since they are made out of flour, sugar and water. She loved painting, but was pretty set on only using purple and green. I would have to say that purple is her favorite color, at least for now. Any other colors you see on the picture are my doing. I kept trying to get her to use other colors but she would throw a huge fit when I would take away the purple and green. She is sure silly.

Kiley is 20 months old now and is doing a lot. She is a huge climber and loves to climb on everything. She has  finally stopped falling off chairs and is being a little more cautious. She loves to do art projects and color, especially with markers and chalk. She loves being outside and helping Dad in the yard. She also is talking non stop. Chad and I love to listen to her when she wakes up in the mornings or when we put her down for her naps. She will sit and talk to herself or her stuffed animals. She also is starting to try to tell us all kinds of stories. Some of her words are still only known by Mom and Dad. And sometimes it takes both of us to figure out what she is saying, but a lot of her words are extremely clear and just about anyone would be able to catch on. She also loves to sing songs and will often be caught singing to herself. We don't always know what song she is singing but she loves it and will clap for herself when she is done with the song.
She is mischief everywhere she goes. She loves to empty the drawer with all of the wash cloths and hide her Minnie and baby in the drawer. She also loves to empty her clothes out of her drawer and put all of her dirty clothes into the drawer. She is a sweetheart and we love her a whole lot!! I can't believe how old and independent she is getting.
