New videos

These are from last week, but still too cute to not post them. In one, Kayleigh is dancing and singing along with a toy that Valerie and Matthew got her. In the other, Kayleigh is showing how she moves food away from her tray when she doesn't want it. She did eventually eat it, though. Have you seen the girl lately?! She doesn't miss many meals!

Congratulations Jonathan and Chat!!

At 4:25 this afternoon, the newest Villacampa arrived. They had a baby boy who weighed in at 7 pounds 12 ounces and is 21 inches long. He hasn't been named yet, but I will everyone know the name and post pictures when I get them. My mom flew up there this morning and is staying with my niece, Mia. They are going to the hospital tonight and hopefully will take some pictures.

Last night's dinner

This probably isn't the most exciting thing ever, but last night was neat because it was the first time that the three of us sat down and ate the same meal. We had chicken and rice (arroz con pollo) mixed with cooked bell peppers and onion. It was delicious, if I do say so myself! No, Kayleigh did NOT eat the whole bowl of food. Erik and I eat Sam's Club chicken, but I'm a little neurotic and won't let Kayleigh eat it because the chicken breasts are HUGE, and it makes me wonder what they do to the chickens to get their breasts so big. (Is that an appropriate blog subject???) Anyway, I cooked some Publix chicken for Kayleigh and separated her food from ours. Kayleigh hasn't liked chicken in the past, so I was glad that she liked her meal this time. I think she'll be having the leftovers for lunch today. Yum!

New hiding place

Kayleigh sure is keeping me on my toes! I'm not sure what I was doing this morning, but I heard Kayleigh making a lot of noise, and came to find her in the dogs' crate. She liked it for a little while, but didn't hesitate to let me know when it was time to help her get out!

First steps

Last night, as Erik and I were trying to wear Kayleigh out and get her ready for bed, we were passing her back and forth between the two of us. We were only about 5 paces apart, but after a few rounds, Kayleigh started to try to do it on her own. We were so excited! She could only take about a step and a half or maybe two steps before she would fall down, but it was still impressive! We must have worn her out pretty good, too, because she slept until 7:45 this morning! Yippee!!!

Kayleigh and friend

Most of you know that I have a summer job. I am watching my neighbor's son for her a few hours a day, Monday through Thursday. This morning I wanted to give him a leg workout, and let him run around like his mother and I do, so I put him in Kayleigh's walker. Kayleigh did not want to miss out on the fun--or didn't want him to go too far in her walker, you decide--so she got behind him to help push. Luckily, he didn't go too fast, so Kayleigh didn't fall!

A new record!

Wow...in twelve, count 'em TWELVE hours, Kayleigh pooped FIVE times!!! Fortunately, four poops were in her diaper. Unfortunately, one poop was in her bathtub! Gross. And, of course I was home alone for that one. My first instinct (believe it or not) was to call Erik since I knew he was still on his way to play basketball. Then, I realized that it wasn't really nice to do to Kayleigh, so I got her out of the tub, praying that she was done pooping, and cleaned up the poop before bathing Kayleigh and calling Erik.
I thought that you all would enjoy my day... :)
