Happy Birthday, Kylee!

After MONTHS of anticipation, Ky's birthday is finally here! She has the hardest time waiting a full two months after her brother and sister's birthdays before she finally gets her turn. To add insult to injury, she also has to celebrate the birthdays of nearly ALL of her younger cousins (and most of the older ones too!) before hers comes around. By the time August hits, we're all ready for the 10th to come and go again! :-)

I decided to jump on the bandwagon and celebrate Kylee's SIXTH birthday with photos.

In the hospital, the day she was born. We have much better photos of her, but this one is so funny, it's always been a fave. :-)

About 10 months old...Git 'R Done! :-)

2 years old with Hallie

3 years, and already a princess. :-)

4 years old, sporting her new sunglasses. :-)

 

5 years old, and brand new big sister (for the second time).

Kylee is so much fun for our family. She's a complete goofball and loves to entertain us all. She love when I put music in while we clean...as soon as the living room floor is clean, she's dancing. She takes it super serious, but I can't help but giggle to watch her (and one of these days I WILL manage to sneak a video!). She tries to mimic dancers she has seen on tv, especially ballet, and does it with this super serious expression on her face. There really are no words to describe it, but I love to watch her.

Kylee LOVES school and is so excited to be starting 1st grade. She loved her kindergarten teacher and can't wait to pass her in the hall so she can say "hi." But she's already starting to love her new teacher, whom she has not yet met, and she can't wait to get started. She's also super excited to be at school all day and eat lunch at school (something I'm sure will die away soon!).

Ky lost both bottom front teeth during the last school year, and now her top two front teeth are starting to be loose...she loves showing everyone her semi-wiggly teeth. She still loves to dress up in her princess clothes, which are rapidly becoming to small. She's very proud of the fact that she's taller than her cousin Jesse (he's 5 weeks older, they've always been buds) and that she's the biggest in our family. She likes to volunteer to take care of her younger brother and sister.

Kylee's favorite color changes daily. If she sees something she loves, she'll start "ooo"ing and "aaaa"ing and ask if we knew that was her favorite color. She loves to pick flowers anywhere we go, and will give them to anyone she can find. She loves anything artsy, and begs me daily to "make something". This is why we decided to buy her a mini sewing machine for her birthday, and Brett is building her a "craft" table with a bench for her room. I can't wait to see her excitement when she sees tonight!

Happy birthday, Kylee Anne!
