Oh the places we will go...

As Kyley was laying on the floor the other morning looking as cute as ever in her hip outfit from her cousin, Morgan...I started thinking about all the places we will go and all of the things we will do when we can start getting out and about.  It has been a wonderful, yet sometimes long 10 1/2 months not being able to take her out and show her off to the world.  Most people do not even realize that she has never been to a restaurant, a grocery story, any of our friends homes, a park, church, or to either her mommy or daddy's offices.  These little things and daily activities that most of us take for granted will be such an adventure for us in the coming months.  We are already planning a weekly zoo date, park visit and of course grocery store run.  We know we still have to be careful as everyone does.  Of course it will make life much easier on me to be able to do run some errands that I have not been able to do unless Jason or a close friend was here to keep an eye on her.  However, the most fun will be to see how much she enjoys all the places we will go and to show her cute little face to the world.

I mean we do not lack in the "having fun" department as we have toys and books galore.  Every day we find a new creative way to play or something new to do.  Kyley loves it when you stack her blocks and then she gets to knock them over.  It has become quite the game.  She has no problems figuring out how to work every button or switch on every toy, and she loves hearing us sing along. 

I am also not sure if everyone knows but we have the wonderful privilege and benefit of having Rainbows United come check on Kyley once a month.  They come to check on her progress developmentally...how she is moving, talking, eating, growing...all of the important things.  Well, they gave me a bit more insight on why the walker gets a bad reputation as well as the commonly referred to "johnny or jenny jump up" or "jumper" or "jump n go".  I guess if babies spend too much time in them they can be what are called "tip toe" walkers, and it can take longer for them to transition to walking or be able to walk with flat feet.  I wish I had known that before I bought them both and threw away the boxes they came in lol:)  Oh well, Kyley does not spend much time in either of them anyway, so the amount of fun she has in them cannot hurt.  At least I can get a kick out of watching her, if even just for a few minutes a day!
