Kaylie's Blog: My Eleventh Month

I've really grown up this last month! I have four teeth now, I'm crawling around like crazy, I love feeding myself finger foods, and I'm having so much fun standing up! I'm starting to get very curious about these things called "no stairs." I celebrated my first St. Patrick's Day and had a blast. Mommy even gave me a special St. Patrick's Day cup! She knows how much I love my cups! Can you believe I kept those crazy pom-poms on my head all night?! Mommy's student was on T.V. doing Irish Dancing so she recorded it and watched it with me. I had no idea how much fun Irish Dancing could be! No matter what I'm doing if Mommy turns the dancing on I stop, watch, and dance! Unfortunately I got sick for the first time later that night, but luckily I got to enjoy the holiday first.

I went to a couple more Kings games this month. During my second game I went to in my life we got to hang out in a suite! Can you believe that?! It was so loud and fun! I was screaming and dancing! I even got on the big Kings Vision screen so everyone could see me!

Look at the trouble I got myself into. I was just trying to go the shortest route possible to reach the remote and I got stuck... I was not happy!

Let me tell you a little story. Once upon a time there was a wonderful road called Folsom Dam Road. It allowed easy access from Folsom to Roseville. Well, after 9/11 the federal government closed the road down because they thought it was a terrorist risk. Folsom residents now had to go through town, drive through old, Historic Folsom on one lane, and cross over a tiny bridge in order to reach the main road (this was part of Mommy's commute to work everyday.) This historic route was never meant for so many commuters, and traffic and businesses suffered. Folsom officials got on the ball and decided to build a bridge next to Folsom Dam Road and they were able to expedite the project! It has been almost exactly two years since the groudbreaking ceremony and the bridge finally opened! We went to the celebration festivities on opening day of Folsom Lake Crossing Road. It was a long, crowded walk, but the weather was perfect and so was I! I'm so happy that Mommy will now have a shorter commute and can get home quicker to spend more time with me!

At the end of this month I went down to Southern California during Mommy's spring break. We started off in Oceanside where I met up with my cousin Abby at Legoland. Everything was made out of Legos! I got to see Las Vegas, Washington D.C., San Francisco, New Orleans, and New York... all made of Legos! I had a lot of fun and even got to go on some rides!!

After Oceanside we headed up to visit Bubbie. One day while we there, Mommy and Daddy took me on a hike. We saw a huge snake and then we got a bit lost. It seemed like we were hiking forever. Somehow we ended up in a residential area, but we have no photographic evidence of anything except a wonderful, fun hike.

While I was down with Bubbie I got to visit my Southern California friends. Anna was so nice to me; she made me feel right at home by sharing all her toys. I loved her shopping cart filled with groceries... I'm going to be quite a shopper someday.

On my last day in town, I got to play with my cousin Abby. She taught me how much fun The Wiggles are. After Abby and I played awhile, Grandpa finally showed up from Texas! He loved playing with his little girls. He even tried to race me around on all fours! Mommy let me stay up past my bedtime so I could spend some extra time with him. When it was finally time for me to go to bed I gave him a big kiss goodnight. I can't wait to see him again!
