Summer is over...





Things are getting back to normal here. It has been 8 weeks since my surgery and I am feeling better. Now, if I can lose some weight I would be wonderful...

Kaylee is growing like crazy and I can't believe we have only been home from China for about 8 months. She has several teeth coming in and boy is that making her cranky at night. She is really coming along with talking and we have started to use the potty. Not having a lot of progress with that as of yet though. She loves to sit on it with a book and read.

Aunt Peggy, Aunt Trudy and I (with Kaylee of course) went shopping to get Kaylee some fall clothes and shoes. She is growing like a weed!

Mark and I had our second post adoption meeting last week. Our adoption agency requires three. We have one more around the first of the year. It consist of the social worker coming to the house and talking with us, seeing Kaylee and a quick inspection. We also have to give her pictures of all of us doing different activities.

Here are some pics...ENJOY

Kaylee's first haircut....








Kaylee did not want to get her hair cut. Mark had to sit in the chair with her and she still was screaming. We tried to give her a tootsie pop but that did not work either. Thank goodness it only took a few minutes. As soon as we picked her up, she was fine and wanted her tootsie pop. She is saying all kinds of new words, up, down, I love you,daddy bear, duck, bye bye, more, cookie....and many others. She also has about 4 back teeth coming in at the same time. Kaylee is 19 months old as of yesterday. She is growing up so fast. Mark and I are looking forward to the holiday season since this will be our first with Kaylee.

Countdown....




Tomorrow I have my appointment with my doctor to find out if I can pick my baby girl up. I am praying that he says yes... Kaylee just loves her big brother. She waits for him in the afternoon to get off the bus. The bus driver waves to her and Kaylee will squeal when she sees Dylan. Grandma and Grandpa came over tonight. They are going to go with me to the doctor tomorrow and take care of Kaylee for me. They have been at our beck and call since the beginning of this. We really are thankful to have them.
OK, wish me luck!!

One day at a time...







One more week and hopefully I can start picking up my baby girl. This has gotten on my last nerve relying on family for every part of Kaylee's care. I do truly appreciate everything that they have done for me.


Dylan started the 10th grade today. Kaylee usually sleeps until about 8:30 or 9:00am, but since Dylan had to get up at 6:00, Kaylee decided she wanted to get up too. Needless to say, she had a morning nap and a short afternoon nap and at 6:00pm tonight, she was falling to sleep with food in her mouth. We took video and pics because it was just so cute.
