So our Mother's Day weekend started out kind of rocky -- we were packing to go to my parent's house in Alabama and guess we weren't paying close enough attention to KK while we were running around like chickens with our head cut off. At one point, I came out of her room and noticed that she was running towards me yelling with her hands up in the air....and no pants on. Which lead me to the realization that no pants equaled no diaper either. I looked around the living room and found both up on the steps, next to what appeared to be a puddle of liquid. Yup you guessed it. Pee. I looked around more and found another small puddle behind her chair. Guess pants are no longer kryptonite for her. UGH
The trip down was quite long and I got the joy of listening to my child scream and yell most of the way down there. God forbid she took a nap like normal! The weekend was great though -- very relaxing for a change considering that we drove 12 hours in 2.5 days. I enjoyed being able to spend my mom's birthday and mother's day with her for the second year in a row though -- KK hasn't missed one yet :) We even got to take my parents out for a really nice sushi dinner -- and yes, I splurged on my whole foods commitment...haha
Nice to be home. I'm exhausted. And KK is being a monster.

Daddy + Daughter Date
So last night was a much needed GNO with one of my girlfriends -- food, drinks + a movie.
And last night also happened to be a perfect time for a Daddy Daughter Date Night! I was so proud of Jason for mustering up the courage to take Kadence out to dinner at Logan's Steakhouse and then off to Bass Pro Shop afterwards to do a little shopping.
Jason told me that KK was quite the little ham all night at dinner and had everyone in the restaurant turned to mush by the time they left. When they got there and he was asked how many, the hostess apparently thought it was an 'awwww' moment when he said "2 please"...haha Apparently KK went a little nuts for the, well, peanuts and after hearing her scream at the top of her lungs because he obviously wasn't shelling them fast enough for her, he handed her one thinking she'd try to figure it out on her own. Well, he was wrong. And down the hatch went the nut, shell and all :) After 3 rolls down (and that's just what she ate) the food came and KK decided she only wanted french fries and more nuts -- and Jason made the rookie mistake of ordering ribs and thinking he'd actually be able to eat and enjoy them. After dinner, Jason put Kadence on the ground and grabbed her backpack and her hand -- much to his surprised she threw a fit and insisted on carrying her own backpack (which is as big as her), but once they got to the door, she looked up at him and shot her little hand in the air for him to hold :)
Bass Pro Shop was pretty uneventful -- they closed the place down as like always. KK loves the fish!

Almost 2 Months!
Omgosh guys. I'm so sorry. I'm almost embarrassed about my lack of postings for the last two months -- and I was starting to get so good at it too! Here's just so fast fun facts to catch everyone up over the long hiatus!
2: Months since I've posted :(
2: Number of teeth Kadence has come in since then! (other 2 are getting ready to pop out)
2: How many words KK is currently saying -- "mama" and "dada"! We're so proud of her! She doesn't just come out and say them though, it takes a little prompting on our parts, but she says them clear as day :)
3: Number of festivals we've been to so far this year -- "Buttercup Festival" in Nolensville, "Main Street Festival" in Downtown Franklin and this weekend, the "Renaissance Festival" in Arrington.
4: Times we've been to the zoo! We finally got a membership!
10+: Number of words that she understands and follows. "Diaper" sends her running into her bedroom and to her changing table. "Sit Down" "Bedtime" "Bottle" "Bath" "Arm" "Foot" "Kiss" "Hug" "Lovie" "Fafa" and a few more that I can't think of right now.
12+: Number of kisses a day she gets :)
Ok, enough with the number play -- let's see what other fun things I can think of. We went to Florida back in March and KK got to play with ALL her cousins for the first time and even rocked at the Easter Egg Hunt! We got to go to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, Lowry Park Zoo, the beach, and the Georgia Marine Aquarium on the way home. It truly was a really fun trip, but we were gone almost 2 weeks. It was quite exhausting!
Kadence has made a new little friend -- she's only 6 months old, but we've hung out with them a couple times. Can't wait until she's up and about so KK can truly enjoy her company other then just getting pushed around in the strollers :) OH and speaking of little friends -- Kadence buddy Collette is going to have a little sister towards the end of the year. Gwen (Col's mommy) just found out she was pregnant again and we're all very excited to add another one to the play dates..haha
KK just recently got bumped up in her church nursery group -- we dropped her off one night in what we thought was the appropriate aged room and when we went back to get her, were told very politely that she's been "upgraded" to a more advanced room. They do crafts in this one :) So we're always coming home with little creations each week!
The Funzone has finally been disbanded and packed up. We now have gates up blocking the living room off from the rest of the house and she has more room to destroy...I mean, move around :) We've gotten her some little bins so she can keep her toys organized and I think she's finally starting to get the hang of it after a whole week of just throwing everything EVERYWHERE!
She's developed such a strong willed little personality that just seems to get more and more overwhelming on a day to day basis. She knows what she wants, when she wants it and has no qualms about letting anyone and everyone know what those wants are. But in my opinion, it's better than having a "zombie" baby that doesn't seem to know what's going on around them really!
Lots more to tell, but I have to get back to the grind stone this morning -- gotta love Mondays!
