The weekends are always fun at our house. We do not necessarily do anything special, as you all know we cannot take Kyley anywhere right now but we get a lot of great family time in. Also, daddy is home all weekend, so we play nonstop and Kyley gets to have two of us at her beckon call instead of just one. The older she gets the more inquisitive she gets and is always thinking, moving, looking, going, chewing, yelling, smiling, giggling, reaching, grabbing, pulling...you get the drift. Everything that was there before seems to take on a new meaning every day for her too! It is so much fun to watch her play with her toys like her dolly that she absolutely loves or whatever she can find more interesting like the remote. We seem to catch her doing the funniest, yet cutest things and only wish we could get them all on camera. But, we do get some of them.
All of this activity sure seems to wear her out a lot more these days. By the end of the day she could fall asleep standing up or sitting in her highchair. She is so tired throughout the day and fights it like no other!! I guess she must be like me and think she is going to miss something because her daddy could fall asleep sitting up in a concert hall. She is so tired...to the point of eyes rolling into the back of her head and of course some dramatic fussing that turns into laughter then a whine then a cry then a smile! There is one other big problem...she will not nap unless she is in one of our arms. It does not seem to make sense as this is the girl that will sleep 12 straight hours at night in her crib. But, we are not complaining...holding her for naps isn't going to be something I can do forever so I will enjoy every bit of them while I have the chance. In fact, I have decided that maybe I will benefit from these naps since I don't sleep any better at night even though she is an awesome nighttime sleeper! 
Eating solid foods has been such an adventure for Kyley. Along the way she finally decided she would drink out of a cup. It took buying about 5 different types/kinds before trying the kind with the soft straw. She grabbed it the first time and drank like a champ right away. Now don't get excited...Kyley will only take a few drinks of water or juice when she is eating, playing or has the hiccups. She still refuses to drink milk out of anything for her daddy. She is stubborn and stuck in her ways...not sure where she gets that from:) Anyway, back to feeding...she is not a picky eater, and she will truly eat about anything you put in front of her. I hear this is good as I have had so many mom's warn me about how awful certain foods were and how their kids would spit them out or refuse to eat. Kyley will eat anything...this does not mean that she will not let us know that the food we have given her is awful or not her favorite. We definitely get the faces, and man are those the best facial expressions ever! We ended the weekend with the introduction of meats...beef tonight to be exact. Jason has to try the meats...we made a deal...as I tried basically all of the fruits and vegetables, and he said it was just bland...and the consistency was a bit odd. It looked like it to me, and as you can tell Kyley thought so too!
