February 2010

We're not quite through February yet but it's sure been a fun month. A bit colder than we'd like but as we've now been in Bermuda for almost 7 years our definition of cold has changed just a bit!

As we count down the days to the arrival of Kailie's little sister / brother I have seem to have mixed emotions of both excitement for the newest member of our family but also just a bit of sadness to have less time to focus just on Kailie. She is sure the center of our world and we just love every minute - I have no doubt that our littlest one will only enrich our family further but until then I'm sure going to treasure this time with my oldest baby:)

Here are the pic's of some of the fun we've been having recently, including some pictures of Kailie's fun during her days with Grace.

Two of Kailie's favorite little friends - Alina and Hannah

Fun with Alina at the aquarium playground (thanks Juliette for these pic's)!

Kailie and Grace on a play-date

Mummy and Kailie met Alina and some of Kailie's other friends at the park - they were so excited to see her!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Finger painting on a rainy day

Recently Kailie has insisted on having 'all my toys' when she goes to bed or even for a nap - on this particular day we went in to wake her up and we could hardly find her!

Daddy getting in on the fun:)

A multi-color day spent with Daddy ;-)

Curls Curls Curls!
While Joel and I can both trace back to having somewhat curly hair when we were little we certainly didn't have these kind of curls so we're not too sure how our curly-locks got hers but we sure love these curls!! I can't tell you how many times people have asked if her hair is naturally curly?! Even with the greatest of efforts there's no way I could do this on purpose! Fingers crossed she gets to keep her curls as she gets older, but then I'll probably end up with a teenager who spends hours straightening her hair (right Dad)??!!

Gymnastics!

For the last few months Kailie has been going to a gymnastics class once a week - and she is just having a blast!! She's getting better and better at following along with what the teacher says to do but she still has a lot of fun doing her own thing too;)

It seems, as with any toddler, there are a lot of options that we could put Kailie into - so far her favorites are swimming, gymnastics and Kindermusik and now there is even some discussion about a dance class next year but we'll see as we don't want to burn her (or Mummy and Daddy) out! No matter what the activity it's sure fun to watch her learn and grow all while having lots of fun.

Here are some pics of all the fun we had this week.

'Almost' a handstand - all on her own!

Now that she knows how to swing she does it on her highchair at home!

Not her favorite move . . . but can you blame her?!

If we could just get her to look at the camera after her big jump!

First we do A LOT of jumping . . . .

. . . then up we go!

Each week it's either the bouncy floor or the trampoline - both are a huge hit!

Ok Mummy - time to head home for a nap:)
