Little Bruiser

Kylie's poor little face is bruised. She gets excited, swings her toys around, and flings them into her face, and since she thinks she can stand and take steps, she sometimes falls into furniture. She is a brave and determined baby girl... The bruises are healing...I am sure there will be more once she is walking all over the place. She is getting close to walking. On a different note...Kylie is eating everything from fruits and veggies, to chicken, turkey, beef, and ham. I have no idea how she eats that meat. It makes me gag to smell it...I am sure the taste is much worse. She gulps down every last bite. She has a new trick where she clicks her tongue and makes a cute little sound. She thinks she is hilarious when she does it. Kylie is talking up a storm and has been crawling around non stop since she was 6 1/2 months old. She pulls herself up onto anything and everything and is standing by herself. Today she stood by herself for about 20 seconds, and did it 4 or 5 times. It cracks me up when she goes to her toy box, pulls herself up, goes through the toys, and starts throwing the ones she wants over her shoulder. Kylie is such a happy baby, but sleep is just not her thing. I am not talking about sleeping through the night...I am talking about sleeping for more than 30 minutes in her crib. Sleep is so foreign to Kylie and me. Naps and night time are very very difficult...I just keep hoping that she will grow out of this stage...SOON. I will keep my fingers crossed...
