Kyla

I started watching Kyla in March of 2013. She is one of the happiest, sweetest, and, smartest "babies" that I have ever watched (I have watched a lot of babies in my life). When I started watching her she was in the early stages of walking. You know, where she knows how to walk but still falls down about every third step. She was such a joy even then (and so photogenic).

Cutie Pie!

She was so small.

"Say Cheese"

What a sweetheart!

So pretty!

I've been watching Kyla for almost a year now and I love her so much. It makes me start to cry when I think about Christopher and I moving back to Springfield (which is probably in August). She won't even remember me when we come back.

Why does this lady always want to take picture of me!?

What a goof ball

 I have learned so much through caring for her. I've watched her grow more and more everyday. She is constantly doing things that shock and amaze me. Her Mom and Dad are easy to work with and so understanding. I'm just so blessed for the opportunity to have been such a small part of Kyla's life. Her family has been such a blessing to Christopher and I.

She NEVER does this. :)

 Ha ha ha!

Favorite Memories with Kyla:

* Asking her to sing. "La la la la la la la... la....laaaa"

* One time I stubbed my toe and it hurt so bad I cried, she crawled on my lap and gave me a big hug.

* When she sits in my lap and puts MY arms around her and says "sweese" (squeeze).

* "Oww-Si?" (outside) She used to ask to go outside every-single-day. 

* When I tell her to stand up after changing her diaper she shouts "SAND NUP" (stand up).

* When Christopher comes home, she gets jealous when he hugs me and says "My Opher" (Christopher).

* When she crawled out of her playpen all by herself the FIRST time. There have been many other times.

* When she pee peed in her potty the first time. I scared her with my excitement.

* It is so adorable when she asks for hugs and "kiss-it" (kisses) from her dad when he drops her off.

* When she gives me hugs and/or kisses for no reason at all.

* When we go on walks and she says "no scare me doggie".

* When she stared saying my name on purpose. :)

* She loves when I chase her / pop out from behind something and scare her.

* She likes sleeping with a stuffed elephant Christopher got me when we were dating. She calls it "eefant".

* Her laugh when she is being tickled.

I love her so much and she will always hold a special place in our hearts!
