Let's Take a Walk

On Sunday we had lots of fun Skyping with Uncle McKay and Aunt Chantel and Uncle Jordan.  Kylie really likes talking to people now, and it is so fun watching her try to interact with them when we have them on the tv screen.  While we were skyping with them Brandon decided to give Hayden a Warhead.  Obviously he didn't like it - but he didn't cry like I was expecting him to.

Monday to shake things up a bit I brought the kiddie pool inside and we filled it with a bunch of blankets and stuffed animals and played in it.  The kids loved it!  My secret intention was to get Kylie to cuddle in it and watch a movie and take a nap, but that didn't happen.

Well, most of our fun this week  happened outside.  The weather is just gorgeous down here and we love taking afternoon walks!  Wednesday I let Kylie lead the walk and it was a little too long for her so she had to double up with Hayden in the stroller on the way home.  Hayden absolutely loved it and liked to lay all over Kylie.

Hayden likes to walk on our walks a lot now, so sometimes it is pretty slow going.  And he always likes to walk the opposite way than what we are going.  I loved it one time when Hayden was trying to get into the trike's bucket while Kylie was riding really slowly and just zoning.  He was so determined to open it up and Kylie had no clue until I said something and then she zipped up the street super fast to stop him.  I laughed so hard!

We also always like to stop and play in the water fountain on our walks.  In fact, if I try to avoid it Kylie freaks out because it is always part of our routine.  Luckily it is still warm enough that I don't mind them coming home sopping wet.

We also like to have dance parties.  Hayden likes to carry my phone around as it plays music and they both dance!  It is so cute to watch.

I think Kylie has finally learned her name!  This week she has been pointing to her self and saying "Kylie", and pointing to me and saying either "Mommy" or "Becca".  Yay!!  When she isn't pretending to be a cat or dog or copycatting everything Hayden is doing and saying, then she actually uses her words a lot.  Her favorites are "mine" and "I want".  Of course :)
