Growing up SO fast

It seems we didn't get the memo that Kaylee was no longer a baby, but a little girl. Her actions however have let us know loud and clear. Today was her first Sunday in Nursery at church. Nursery is basically like church daycare for 18 month and older kids. Although it was a little sad seeing my baby go off without even looking back at her dad and I the rest of the meetings were heaven! The picture below is her big Nursery girl outfit. How cute huh! (Got to love Ross)


Now her stats prove otherwise. At her checkup this past week we were informed that Kaylee, all 19 lbs 10 oz of her, was in the 0%! HAHAHA! So yes she is a big girl but a very petite girl. That's the word our sweet Doctor uses to make us feel better. I guess we shouldn't be too surprised considering it was never in the stars for us to have giants so we are more than happy with our little petite one.

Kaylee has decided to create her own language, fake cry (hands over her eyes and everything), learn about 30 more words and try to use the potty. Yes the potty. We bought her one the other day and she acted like we gave her a handful of candy. She just would look at it and squeal, "POTTY!" We have yet to have any success on it yet, but we really haven't given it a solid effort.

So yes we indeed missed the memo about our little baby becoming this little person right in front of our eyes. A little person with a HUGE personality, as dramatic as can be and sweet as ever. We did miss the memo, but we love this new little person and are having a blast seeing her literally change so much every day!

She climbs up on the couch on her own and this is what I find
So big lounging watching Mickey Mouse

Reading Magazines with Mommy

An excuse to post some pictures

New things are happening in the Pack Family, but in all honesty I just wanted to put some pictures up :) Who can ever have enough pictures of their child...wait WE CAN and we do. Sadly one day our children will ask, "Mommy I want to see pictures of you and Daddy from when I was little" and I will say "Too bad we only have 5!" hahaha but really Shane and I do need to be a little better about taking pictures (and video) of ourselves once in a while at least for our posterity's sake :)
*Oh we did get a home phone though so if you want the number message me and I will give it to you. The cell phones are no more people :(

I said Cheese mom now can we go for a walk!

My little "Mini Shane" and her very own popcorn bowl

She thinks its her seat...what can ya do, she's very proud of herself :)

The Little BYU fan with her Great Grandpa-They're twins!!

Trick or treating at the Mall

NO She is not hurt!!! She was playing with my makeup and got into my lipstick. When I looked at her she just said, "eye, eye." No kaylee its not for your eye!

Playing with Uncle Na-Nee

She LOVES cottage cheese (and eating it by herself)

A Happy Hallowwen

Here are some pictures from our ward Halloween party. It was a ton of fun! Shane and I dressed up like White trash if you couldn't tell :) We have such a wonderful ward and love it so much. I actually ate most of Kaylee's candy after the party (Shara) and on Halloween night when I gave Kay her EMPTY bucket on Halloween night she looked at it and yelled "Oh NO." hahaha so much for trying to fool her!
Kaylee also very much enjoyed trick or treating. We decided to tell her to just say please at the doors since her saying trick or treat sounded like a bunch or crazy words :) She had a blast and every day looks for her "buckey" of candy! Enjoy the pictures. More to come when we can.

*Also we are having a phone crisis so you will not be able to get a hold of us via telephone but feel free to email or blog us and we'll try to check it! Sorry :)

Good Times with Mom

Well my mother headed back to Sacramento this morning. She was here for a couple weeks to visit my sister, brother and I. It was so nice to have her here. We went to conference and played and just had a gay ol' time! We are all so sad to see Ba-Ba leave. We wish that the family lived closer. Get on that Shepherds!!!
Mom we love your guts and it was so nice to have you here. Kaylee misses you!
Here are a few pics we took while she was visiting!

Introducing Mom to J-Dawgs!

Johnny made us Mexican Sushi...SO GOOD!
(He had a little Japanese help from Shane :)

Katie & Mikey

(Kaylee loves Mikey-she can say his name perfectly and it always comes with a cheesy grin!)

One of Kaylee's MANY dramatic faces

Oh and here is the Belly!

Little Miss Chatterbox

Yes our little Kaylee is just a chatterbox! There are times when it is purely nonsense jabber (still SO cute) but she has quite the little vocabulary. It just kills Shane and I to here her go from saying nigh (for nice) and ba-ba (for baby) to NICE and BABY! I mean she speaks so clearly. We are so impressed with our little girl. Its not fair how much she grows so quickly!
We love asking her to say different words and besides the occasional what the heck was that she usually is dead on. We just love it.

No Place Like Home...or my Family!!

Once again I was able to go home for a week and see mi familia. It was really nice to be in Sacramento although it was really hot and I was thinking nice Fall weather...haha. Anyways it was just good to be able to spend time together and be with my family. I have to say I am very blessed with great family. Shane is a great husband and father and the Shepherds ROCK! (Much love to the Packs too!)
I guess I was just feeling lovey dovey :) Its just cool to have people in your family who are truly your best friends too. I love you guys!!!

Well enough of that :) here are some cute pics!!

She LOVES outside at Grandma's :)

Pictures at JCPenney's

(Interesting time, but we got some cute shots)

Just like daddy!

My belly at 24 weeks...and so it begins

NO KEYBOARD

Our lovely little daughter decided our blue tooth piece was a toy hence breaking it with her constant touching, hence leading to NO mouse and keyboard. Stupid wireless stuff!! Apparently these days its hard to get an old keyboard that isn't from the 80's so I have no way of writing on my own computer. I still look at all your lovely blogs but there have been no posts and comments due to the lack of a electronic writing device :)
AHHHH we're working on it. If anyone knows someone with an old keyboard WITH a usb connector that would be fantastic!
I am home visiting the family right now (Thanks Shane) so I will try to catch you up on our oh so exciting life! I know you can't wait so I will try not to keep you all waiting too long.... :)
