As far as Kailey's development; she certainly is growing up fast. She has about ten words that she can use. She is better at some than others, but we are giving her credit for:
- ball
- dog
- duck
- baby
- light
- mama
- dada
- bubble
- bye
- hi
- shoe
- me
Kailey is also getting pretty good at the game of "where is _____?". For these, she knows her bellybutton, head, foot and nose (among a few others).
In the list above I put in the word "me" as one of the ones she knows. This special word deserves a little expanding upon. The use of the word "me" is Kailey's universal way of asking us to correct the situation and provide her with something. When we are preparing her meals, but have not brought them to her yet, she reminds us who we are preparing them for by exclaiming, "me, me, me, me, me". It is really cute.
We have noticed that she is "catching on" really fast to this world around her. Because she has a lot of practice having bows and rubber bands put in her hair; whenever she finds a rubber band she places it in her hair. I guess she just knows that is where rubber bands are supposed to go. Also, she has raised her little foot and said "shoe" when we have taken her down the shoe aisle at a store.
Of course, this would not be a complete update without pictures. These were all taken in North Alabama last weekend. We visited Kailey's grandpa at work, went to a waterfall and park in Gadsden, attended graduation, saw an ape and other animals, and had a party to celebrate Jason's achievement. These pictures can all be found at:

Wow, it was good to look through some of your pictures to see how you guys are doing. She is so pretty, I love your favorite pictures that were in the e-mail and the one of her in the blue chair. She looks so petite and precious. I also got cracked up watching the block video.
So glad that we will be able to keep in touch on here :)
