Karlee Updates

So with the month almost to an end, I thought I would do a Karlee Update. In the beginning of this month Karlee turned 2 years old. She really is getting so big, starting to form sentences, dictate what she will and will not do. Karlee has been sick most of the month due to a "2yr olf molar coming through. She has loved going to nursery and learned the "clean up" song. Here are just some highlights (and maybe not so 'high'-lights):
Doctor Appointment:

Karlee got to go to the doctor for her 2 year old shots (singular). Which is always such a joy. This girl really does not do doctors, infact she gets really clingy the minute we walk in the door, and sign in. Karlee starts to cry when the nurses come in and call her name, and pretty much doesn't stop crying until we leave. Yep she cries (screams) when the nurses weigh and measure her. She will stop a bit while we wait for the doctor to come into the room, once he comes in she starts back up and cries while he is trying to talk to her, and check her over. So going to the doctor is a real treat! Glad that now its only yearly and on an as need basis. So for stats: Karlee weighs 24 lbs. (took 8 months to gain 4lbs) She is measuring 34 inches tall. I guess thats pretty much on the "normal" growing scale, according to the doctor.

SpongeBob:

Really I have no idea where this obsession has come from (no... I really do, thanks Rob), but Karlee is OBSESSED with SpongeBob. Karlee has literally over night become one of "those" kids that have their eyes glued to the TV screen. It hasn't helped that she has been sick for the past two weeks, and so whatever will make her stop crying is what we give to or should I say give into her. (I know I am probably just as much to blame now!) Rob has 2 dvd's of SpongeBob, and never in a million years would I have thought that Karlee would want to watch SpongeBob over all the classic Disney cartoons. Honestly it is pretty sad! Karlee comes up to me and with her head tilted to the side, and those little brown eyes sparkling, and say "SpongeBob?". Whatelse can you do, seriously! To be honest, I am in hopes that she overdoses on these two dvd's so that we don't have to watch SpongeBob in later months/years - with Rob? - I am sure this is a lost cause.

Names:

Karlee for the past 2 months has been very interested in her cousins, and their names. She loves to say their names, and look at their pictures (in our kitchen). She usually starts out like this:

Abbey (Abeyeeee), Austin (Austinnnnn), Taylor (Taylorrrrr),

Paige, Trenton, Sadie (Sadieeee),

Teni (Tenieee), Alyia, Jordyn (Jordynnnnnn),

Malia, Tyler (Ty),

Cody (Codyeeeee), Bo (BoBo)

She will do this a couple times a day, at home, especially loves to do this in the car. What a cutie!
