Here's a few pictures from the past couple weekends. Last week, we got to celebrate Daniel Kress Loy's 3rd birthday at a pool party. Kayla is here with Madison who we see from time to time. Madison is a couple years older so Kayla thinks its really cool to hang out with her.

This past weekend we went to visit our friends Eric and Lisa who just had a new baby boy named Kyle. Kayla got to play with Kyle's older brother, Justin who's 3.

Today at daycare I asked whether Kayla behaves herself during the day. I wasn't sure I wanted the truth but I figured I should start asking. They said, "Well, she is almost 2!" (Not exactly the answer I was hoping for.) Apparently she was climbing on something today and her teacher told her to get down and she turned around and said "NO". So now I know it's not just mommy and daddy that she's testing.

They said it's funny how the kids just come out of their shell in the 2-year old room and we've definitely noticed that she is. They also said that her walk cracks them up. If you've never seen it, she has quite a little strut. She definitely walks with authority! I can't tell you how many times she walks out in front of me, turns around and says "Come on Mommy!Come on." Then she comes back, grabs my hand, and leads me where ever she wants to go. Funny girl. It's hard to believe she'll be 2 next week.
