The Fall of 09

The fall of 2009 has been very fun and rather dismal at the same time.

Kallee is growing very well and she has her 18 month appointment today. Her communication skills are magnifying and she gets her points across very well.

She uses her hands and gestures for what she wants or who she wants. She has said words like hi and bye and hey and J-J (Jayden) and Momma and dadda,, and baba... She also grabs your hand when she wants something.

Kallee likes to play outside and go for trips now. She was not the best traveler early on. But now she loves them and wants to go to new places. She is also getting into riding her red rider bike and she and her brother ride together in the driveway almost everyday.

The tough part has been that she has been sick a lot these past two months. We have had to stay home a lot with her with the flu and other virus problems. She has been a trouper thought and is finally getting healthy.

Which is good because it was Halloween this weekend and we had a wonderful time. Kallee was a LadyBug (pics to come soon). She dressed up and went to Grandma Gebers house and then did some trick or treating. She did great going up and getting the candy. She LOVES sweets,, we have to watch that. Her favorites are fruits and licorice, ketchup and bar-b-que sauce. She will eat her veggies and she is much more interested in pasta type dishes, much more than her brother. She has no problem mixing up all her food and eating, unlike her separatist brother.

She does not mind getting into your personal space, rather she enjoys being close to people. She throws the best tantrums, screaming and crying and throwing her face into the floor and kicking.

Her favorite things to do are to go for walks and play with her brother. She loves to be chased and she likes to suck her thumb with one finger in her mouth.

She has started the tradition of tearing her boarder off the wall,,, just like her brother, so we had to move her bed away from the walls. She is also a very good helper with the laundry, placing clothes in the washer and dryer.

She has been a blessing in our lives and I know that both Alison and I, though as tired as we are, would not want it any other way.

Kallee Boo-Boo's has added joy to our lives.
