Milestone......or not

Kind of a funny story....This morning Mark and I were talking and I had told him that I believe all the other girls that were adopted when we got Kaylee, were sleeping in toddler beds. Mark and I decided that we would turn her bed into a toddler bed today. We were very excited about this. Kaylee was in the kitchen in her high chair coloring and Mark fixed the bed and I put all new bedding and all her favorite things to sleep with on it. We also got her a step stool so she could get  on the bed. It is taller than the toddler beds I have seen in the past. We brought Kaylee in there and she LOVED it!!! She was smiling and got on the bed, reached in her basket and got her books, she pulled the blanket on her, and kept looking at Mark and I, just sooooooooo happy. Then it happened....Kaylee had lunch and Mark took her in her room to let her take a nap. She cried and screamed and cried. I went in there and held her and soothed her and put her back on her wonderful toddler bed. She cried, she screamed and cried some more. Mark had to bring the crib rail back in there and hook it up all over again. It took a while before she would calm down. We think she just feels safe and secure in the crib, so for now we are going to keep it up. 

Here  are some pictures of the toddler bed and then back to a crib with a happy baby sleeping and snug as a bug.

A bad Monday...

After having a wonderful Birthday party for Kaylee and a great Valentines dinner at home, Scrappy had gotten even more sick. We had been feeding him with the syringe, and really just doing everything in our power to keep him hydrated and praying he would wake up in the morning and feel better. That was a nice dream but God had other plans for Scrappy. I was up all night long Sunday night with him, he steadily got worse and worse, to the point he could not walk. All I could of was let us get through this night and I will get him to the vet at the crack of dawn. He was alive but even worse in the morning. I gave him some milk and took him to the vet. Scrappy passed away between our home and us going into the vets office. I was in such schock that I don't have any idea what he passed away from. At this point, it does not matter. Mark and Dylan buried him next to Tater under some trees. I will not be getting any more cats any time soon. We still have my precious Sassy and Libby who has been sticking to me like glue.

On a brighter note, Kaylee loves to color. She is turning out to be one prissy little girl. She also loves to help me with laundry and emptying the dishwasher. 

Kaylee's Birthday Party...

We celebrated Kaylee's 2nd Birthday today. She had so much fun opening all the presents. Tudy brought some silly string and yes, us adults got into a silly string battle. The pictures did not really turn out but there are a couple that are pretty funny.

Hope everyone had a Happy Valentines day. Mark gave me a beautiful card and two pots of tulips. They are just gorgeous! He also cooked a delicious dinner for Peggy and I.

My nephew Matthew came over on Thursday to introduce his new beagle, Chloe to us. 

My kitty, Scrappy is not doing well at all. I am going to take him back to the vet on Monday and hopefully he will be ok. I have been feeding him with a syringe and taking him to the litter box and water bowl. I love my animals and just in the short time we have had Scrappy, I have gotten very attached to him.
