18 Months Old

Kaidence, you are eighteen months old!



I feel pretty much like the worse mom ever because I never wrote out K's 17 month post.

So, I decided I better sit down and write this out while she was asleep so I would have time!

Stats:

We will find out Friday at your well baby check-up on Friday.

Skills:You are a talking machine. Online websites have that 12 is the average amount of words an 18 month old should know, Daddy & I counted 30-35 that you know. I am proud!

You are also a running machine. You love to run and swing you little arms as fast as you can!

You have mastered shutting doors. This makes me so proud because I hate for people to leave doors open, and your Daddy is the worst about doing it-ha!

You could be a professional climber. You love it and I find you on top of random things all the time.
You also love to wedge yourself in the tiniest little places. Your favorite is a baking dish! You always drag it out and sit in it to have your afternoon snack.

Sizes:

You are wearing mainly 24 month. You need them for the waist size, you could probably do 12-18 month for length because your shorts are capris and capris are pants!

You wear a size 4 or 5 diaper.

You wear a size 5 or 6 shoe.

Personality:

You are such a people person! You love to be funny and make people life.

This is cute now, but I have a feeling in a few years when you are the class clown it won't be-ha!

Random:

You have stopped crying when you go to the nursery at church, as long as your favorite worker is there. I sometimes wish I could be a fly on the wall to see what tricks you pull for her to always spoil you and carry you around-ha!

You are still obsessed with dogs! You bark every time you see one. And, last night on the way home from church you kept yelling "MOMMA!MOMMA!", so I turned on the light to see what you wanted and you started jibbering, then all of a sudden pointed your finger out the window and started barking, and then busted out laughing! I guess you were telling me a funny story about seeing a dog?! :)

You now know my name. It started Saturday at BRU, but anytime I ask you "What's my name?" You says "Asheys". I don't like it, but I can't help but laugh at your little country accent!

Our Weekend

I haven't done a weekend recap in quite some time, but I decided to do one today because we actually did fun stuff this weekend!

Friday:

Josh was off, so he went deep sea fishing while us girls stayed home and ordered all the goodies for Kaidence's room.

After lunch we headed into Mobile to go to the boat show with Mason, Mary Beth, and Gage.

Of course, since we went to a boat show, K had to match with her smocked sail boat outfit.

I didn't really get into all the boats. I mean, I would love to have one but looking at them does not excite me in the least bit!

Gage & Kaidence loved looking at them, too. And they loved to drive them!

After the guys finished  looking at all the boats, we went to watch the "Dixie Dock Diving" dogs!

This was by far the best thing to me.

We finished up our boating experience with some homemade vanilla pecan fudge. YUM!



When we left the show we took Kaidence to a friend's house because Josh & I had our first post-baby date.

Yep. First alone date since Kaidence was born...18 months ago!

We went to Blue Gill's across the bay, went shopping for Kaidence{FAIL!}, and ended our date with a stop by Chill.

We picked up KK and came home.

Saturday

We got up early and went shopping with Nana, Aunt Amy, & Aunt Heather.

We came back home and Kaidence tried on her new Minnie ensemble.

Josh grilled steaks since everybody came down, and so I had to pick up these little pieces of heaven

After lunch we did some more shopping, and then went to hear Josh's band.

Sunday

We became members at our new church.
And, our girl turned 18 months old. That's a year and a half, y'all! Which means in only 6 short months..she will be TWO!!!!!!!

We aren't radical on "going green", but something has to give with these gas prices!!!

So, we took matters into our own hands and went eco-friendly in our own way...

Of course, she had to have her morning cup of joe and cell phone incase she had a flat!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We sported our green today for St. Patty's Day.

During the girl's nap time, I made them "magical Cheerio" necklaces.

Also, while they were sleeping a little green Leprechaun left a few fun items in the yard for them.

So, of course, we had to have a treasure hunt to see what all he left the girls!

They both got a flower, a fake diamond, a pack of fruit snacks, and $5{that was confiscated during snack time. ha!}

Hope you all had a great day.

And, wore green so you didn't get pinched! :)

Room Idea #1

This is the bedding.

It is kind of plain and simple, but I love the fact it does not have 1.5 billion flowers on it..or the ever so popular Disney characters.

I think we would do a white bed instead, too.

Since the bedding is plain, I would love to do this print on the wall behind her bed.

{And, no this is not my child's nursery. I was searching for argyle patterns and forgot the link! :( So, if it is yours LET ME KNOW! I give credit where credit is due!!!}

And, above her bed in the center of the pattern I would put the big mirror with her monogram like I blogged about before.

On the other three walls, I think we will paint them gray. Maybe a darker gray then the bedding. Something like this.

Since the bedding is kind of plain, I think we will do some "sha-bam!" curtains and I plan to take down her 6 bow holders and get a HUGE antique frame to put them on.

Opinions?!

Kaidence's Big Girl Room.

We have decided to go ahead and start transitioning Kaidence into a toddler bed.

We are not going to use her crib, even though it does convert, because we don't see the point in having two cribs later.

I have been looking everywhere for non-pattern and non-cartoon bedding. I have found two that I like,{I will post them below}but I need more ideas. 

I really like this one. It's simply, but we can add more room decor to "spice it up"!
Her room is painting 3 walls chocolate brown and 1 wall lavender, so we would have to repaint it.
I think a similiar shade of gray on 3 walls, and then do a pink striped wall would be really cute.

{Pink striped wall would be same color pink, just one stripe matte and one stripe gloss}

I like this one too, and it comes in different colors.

I'm just not too sure how cool this would be because it's minky fabric.

Also, I'm not too sure how easy it is to clean?!

{SOURCE}

I want something different, but I can't figure out what I do want.

I know we will be doing a lot of DIY decor, including this super cute mirror with Kaidence's monogram on it!

{there's a lot of these on blogs, but this is from The Hardage House}

So, know of any super cute bedding?

Or, have any easy but cute DIY ideas?

Let me know! :)
