Uh oh...surprised that we are way behind...???

Okay, so we are going to blame it on the holidays.  We wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, and then we are half way to Christmas now before we tell you all how things are going.  Well, Ms. Kyley is 19 months old.  She has had another well check up along with RSV shot #2...and thankfully the last of her immunizations until Kindergarten (less flu shots and rsv).  We cannot believe how much she is growing.  As we expected she did not gain any more weight due to the INCREASED activity of the little walker, but she is definitely showing that she is catching up.  Here are her stats, and the percentiles are based on peers born at the same time full term.

weight 21 and 1/2 lbs (8%)

head circumference 45 cm (10%) 

height 31 inches (20%) 

Woo hoo...go Kyley, go!  We are so proud of her in many ways.  She continues to walk better and faster everyday.  Kyley talks more and clearer everyday.  She gets in to more and more trouble everyday lol!  Kyley continues to find more and more  new things all the time.  She keeps her mommy and daddy busier too!

We cannot wait to share all the fun we have been having!!

Happy Thanksgiving a bit early!

Kyley just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to all of her friends and family!  We are all thankful to have all of you in our lives!  We hope everyone has safe travels and full bellies!

The Dynamic Duo

Yes, it is the Dynamic Duo at it again.

Calyn spent the day with Kyley and mommy on Monday, and we had so much fun.  Well, the girls had tons of fun causing trouble, giggling, playing and such...mommy had her hands full!  Now that Kyley is walking too, it made things a bit more interesting.

These two girls continue to entertain each other more and more each day.  Calyn was at the house when Kyley woke up, and it took all mommy had to contain her when she saw Calyn.  They never seem to get enough of each other, and they continue to interact more and more all the time.

What a great way to start out Thanksgiving week...we are so thankful for Kyley's cousin Calyn!
 

Our little daredevil!

If Kyley isn't our scholar or maybe even if she is...we always said that Kyley was going to be our daredevil or play some extreme sport.  She is always doing the silliest things that sometimes make us giggle and sometimes scare mommy and daddy just a tad.  

Kyley also does quite a few things she is not supposed to do...and she does them with a smile.  
 

Many times she does have some assistance from mommy and daddy, so I guess we cannot blame her for wanting to have some fun!

She's a walker!!!

WATCH OUT EVERYONE...she is officially a full time walker (as of Saturday the 19th).  Lock your cabinets, hide your valuables and close those doors...she is coming to destroy your homes;)!  If she learns to drive like she walks, we are in big trouble some day!

Fun with friends

This past weekend Kyley got to do what she loves most...entertain some friends.  Not only does she get her mommy and daddy's attention she gets everyone else's too.  You would never know that this little girl barely knew that anyone other than mommy and daddy existed until April.  She acts shy at first, but I think that is just to suck people in with her sweet little charm.  Then, watch out as she will convince you that she can get away with murder...and you let her.  Vivian & Robert and Gretchen & Stan came over to visit as mommy and daddy don't get out much these days...why would they want to leave if they don't have to?  It is fun to include Kyley as she truly enjoys the people.  And, I think it is pretty obvious she won them all over.

The weekend then ended on a high note when Cousin Calyn came over to play.  Kyley showed Aunt Emily and Calyn how much she loved to read.  Calyn showed us all how cool she was in Kyley's sunglasses!  They truly are a couple of trouble makers!  Their newest trick is pushing each other in the car...could they have more fun together??

Thanks friends for a great weekend!

We barely made it two weeks

Well, it is that time of year.  The time of year that we strategically and carefully avoided exposing Kyley to last year.  Due to the fact that she is bigger and stronger, her pediatrician does not want us to shelter her all fall and winter.  And, he wants to help build her immune system with regular colds and such.  However, he still wants us to practice good hand washing and sanitizing along with avoiding situations where we would purposely expose her to something. 

What this means for the Kubik household???  It means that we did not even make it two weeks without a cold:(!  Poor thing is making up for lost time!   We just have to keep remembering that she will be stronger and better off in the long run and that this is NORMAL!

Either way...since it is that time of year...just remember to do your part to keep the little ones healthy as can be.  Oh, and get your flu shots people;)...it cannot hurt...only in the arm for a few hours the next day!
