Kallie's 2nd Birthday

Kallie is now 2 years old! Here are some things about Kallie:
  • She talks a lot! She has started talking in sentences. She still signs, but not as much as she talks.
  • Most of the words Kallie says are pretty clear, but she almost always uses a t instead of a c or a k. She says chawt (chalk), milt (milk), Tallie (Kallie), trite (trike), chiten (chicken), peent (pink), chotlate (chocolate), fireworts (fireworks) and tuptate (cupcake). The only word that she makes a c/k sound is Jackson.
  • She loves to dance and sing.
  • She loves primary songs. Especially the wise man and the foolish man, popcorn popping, and twinkle twinkle little star.
  • She knows a lot of the words to Rolling in the Deep (Adele), Price Tag (Jessie J), and Baby (Justin Bieber). If she doesn't know the words, she will make them up or pretend to be singing.
  • She can count to 13 by herself with no mistakes. She thinks she can count to twenty, but when she gets to 13, she says 12 13 12 13 16 20!
  • She is still learning her abc's. She can say most of them with a little help. 
  • She still doesn't like nursery. We are in a new ward now with fewer kids, so hopefully that will help.
  • She has started potty training herself. I asked her a few weeks ago if she wanted to go pee on the potty and she said yes and went. Ever since then, she has gone on the potty a lot. I haven't been forcing her though. But she is getting pretty good at telling me she needs to go potty. She can even get on the toilet by herself, which is nice not to buy one of those stupid little potties or a little seat.
  • She pulls a lot of faces. Her three favorite faces are her embarrassed face, excited face, and scary face.
  • She is learning her colors. Her favorite colors are pink and green. If I ask her what color something is, she almost always says green. If she doesn't say green, she says peent (pink).
  • She is still obsessed with shoes. Especially other people's shoes that don't fit her. She loves high heels!
  • She loves Shane (the neighbor's dog) and always tells me "Shane eat my finger".
  • She has learned to tattletale. She is always saying, "Mommy, jacks _______" or "Mommy, daddy ______."
  • She loves the ipad. She loves talking tom, talking ben, and talking "china" (gina). She also loves to take crazy pictures of herself with photo booth.

We had a really good day. Here is a picture overview of the day:

After she had breakfast, I let her open a present!

We then went to the zoo!

Slip and Slide





We Moved

About a week ago, we decided to put our condo up for rent. We had it on the market for 4 months with no offers and we didn't want to keep lowering the price. So instead we'll rent it out and have someone else build up our equity. We had so many calls the first few days and showed it to a few families. We were really picky who we rented it to. The family we chose wanted to move in as soon as possible, so we moved out over the weekend. We are living in my parents basement while we save money for a house. Our plan is to find a lot and build next spring or summer. Hopefully everything works out how we want it to!
