walking

Kylee is finally walking ... and everywhere! She officially started walking (like choosing to walk, not just walk when we make her) last Sunday. She is very cautious and hardly ever falls. She doesn't waddle as much as I thought she would. She is just getting so big and babbling allll the time! She is such a joy ... I can't imagine or remember how our life was before she came along. Matt and I can tell she understands just about everything we say and sometimes carries on a conversation with hand gestures and everything! She loves to play on the windowsills and try to lift her feet up and crawling up on the couch. She likes to eat what we're eating regardless of what it is, even if she's just eaten, she'll try it at least. She loves to drink out of our cups and sometimes I let her hold the cup, but she hasn't figured out how to just hold it, she wants to hold it straight up and all the water pours over her face and down her neck and all over her clothes. It surprises her every time ... you'd think she'd figure it out haha. We're having so much fun with her and love seeing what she picks up. She loves to give kisses and follow around all the other kids at church. She also really likes to pick her nose, it's now a game to see if she can do it without getting told no.

I'm having a really fun time at work. I love what I do and although it takes me away from my family during the day I really like my job. Of all the things I could be doing for a job right now I'm lucky to have this job and a great principal and teachers to support me. The school year is more than halfway over and spring break is soon. I keep telling myself that if I can make it to spring break I'll live. haha

I told Matt he couldn't take any classes this semester, it was too stressful for me last semester. But soon enough he'll be taking the written and physical exams for the police departments in the areas (there's 3-4 he's going to apply to.) I hope he gets an interview and gets a job this time. He got an interview last time but they didn't continue the process with him. So now that he's familiar with the process and has prepared more thoroughly for the exams and the interviews I think he'll find a job somewhere.

For some reason the pictures I'm trying to upload aren't working, so I'll post some later.
