Deck the Halls!

So the past few weeks have been constant change for sure. Will we get the house or not...when will we move...Will Robbie survive police academy or not....What is the skin problem of Kelsey's...what will life throw at us next to handle? Well it looks like we will close on the house this week. Robbie is almost done with academy (went through being pepper sprayed this past week)...graduates on Dec. 17th. Kelsey has eczema really bad but we are working through it. If anyone has genius ideas to make it go away let us know! She also a month ago transferred to being potty trained but has accidents from time to time.

Her new thing is to give kisses. She has always blown kisses and pushed her mouth to people for kisses but sometime this past week someone taught her that in order to kiss, you have to make a "pop" noise. Now at any point in time (including the middle of the night) she will find anyone and "POP" you've been kissed. She also now "ohhhs" and "ahhhs" when we go Christmas light hunting. And her favorite Christmas song is now "Deck the Halls" she hears the first few lines and her face lights up. She then starts to prepare....wait for it....wait for it...."LA-LA-LA-LA-LA" over and over and over again. It is the one song she can sing really well since she doesn't talk much yet. Got to love Christmas!

Airplane!

Ok, so I have been trying to teach Kelsey sign language over the past few months because she does not talk (in a language we can understand) much. I started this week trying to just show her signs of fun words that we learn...like the sign for "car" and such. We are now living at my parents' home near Randolph AFB. I made the mistake of teaching her the sign for airplane when she stood in awe a few days ago as some jets flew above. Now when we go places such as near the AFB or near the San Antonio Airport, I here from the backseat "Zoom Zoom" and when I look back she is waving her had wildly in the air while pointing to make sure I see the plane/jet. She won't stop until I have acknowledged the plane. I guess I can say she has a love for planes and she gets it from her father and grandfather!

A pure sense of Adventure!

Ok, so now that Kelsey is over 18 months we have decided to really try to start potty training. All you moms out there please send helpful words and ideas! We have been slowly getting her used to the idea for the past few months. I realized when I woke up to her handing me her diaper that we may be ready....By the way...not a good way to wake up in the morning! At least is was just wet not anything worse. And no there have been no paintings of poop on the walls of her crib...yes I have heard horror stories from friends and family. I'll keep you posted on how things go with this. We are trying a few methods including the M&Ms method from Kelsey's Nannie. Say some extra prayers for us! It just amazes me how Kelsey has no fear of most things. A dog could be barking in her face and she wants to hug him. She always is so assured that someone will catch her if she falls or be there to comfort if she gets hurt. Doesn't that make you want to have that kind of assurance all the

A New Day

Every morning I wake up and wonder what new thing Kelsey will learn today. ..somedays she learns a new sign like the sign for bath-time or pacifier...others she learns a "trick" like how to climb up on the coffee table and jump. It got me thinking about how wonderful it would be to wake up everyday expecting to learn some amazing! She gets this huge, joyful smile when she does something new and laughs like crazy. Wouldn't it be nice to become overjoyed when you learn something new? Even the small things? I am currently in 2 courses for education and learn new things everyday but don't find myself wanting to jump up and shout. I guess it is one of the great things about being a child.
