Colin = Pony?

9/12/12
Last night I was trying to part Kaida's hair after her bath.  It has seemed like her part has been moving toward the middle lately so I parted it in the middle.  My secret hope is that her part will eventually part on the "right" side.  The right side of her head, and also the side that my hair parts on.
This morning she woke up and the part is back on the left side of her head toward the back of her head and in the middle in the front of her head.  Very strange.

Today JR taught Kaida to say "happy anniversary."  It's pretty hilarious 'cause it takes her about 2 minutes to say that many syllables but it's pretty close.

She's also learning who goes together.  She know that Grandmom and Pop Pop go together.  And Grammy and Poppy.  But sometimes she thinks that Aunt B goes with Grammy and Poppy.  We haven't gotten to Aunts, Uncles, and cousins yet but this seems like a good start.

We all have a cold so that's making it very hard to understand her.  Plus being sick gives everyone a short temper so it's been a long couple days.

This morning I went upstairs to take a shower and JR came downstairs a couple minutes later.  He found Kaida trying to ride Colin like a pony.  Yeah, definitely going to try to discourage that behavior.

Halfway through the night I put Colin in one of the sleep sacks.  He woke up at 11:40 and peed on me when I was nursing him (serious diaper malfunction there).  So I changed him into a terry sleeper.  They seem to be not quite as warm as the fleece sleepers to me.  He woke up again, like, 2 hours later so then I put him in the sleep sack since it seemed pretty cool in the nursery.  I was afraid he'd be upset about it since it limits his mobility a bit but he slept really well the rest of the night.  He's wearing it for his nap now (still cool in there).  He's sleeping on his back though, so that's the only weird thing.  (Maybe that's why Kaida always slept on her back, it got cold before she learned to roll over so she was always wearing a sleep sack.)

Kaida's Clown Clothes

This morning JR picked a pants and long sleeve t-shirt outfit for Kaida to wear since it's cooler out.  I haven't made the switch to the 2T clothes yet so it was 18 months.  She hasn't worn 18 month winter clothes in months though.  The outfit looked a little ridiculous.  It was a circo shirt, and they run smaller, but it was nearly 3/4 length in the sleeves they were so short.  The pants were a little short also but not too terrible.
When I got her dressed for church I picked out a 2T outfit.  It was also ridiculous but on the complete other end of the spectrum.  I'm pretty sure the pants are supposed to be leggings but they were super baggy.  They didn't really fall down though so I left her in it.  The sleeves of the shirt were pretty long too. 
Now I feel like I have to try all her 18 month and 2T clothes on her to see which ones fit the best while she's in this in-between size.
I guess if she's going to be wearing this size for a year it's good that's there's room to grow. But maybe they should have a size 2 and a size 2.5.  I know my child is ridiculously skinny but she can't be the only one who has this problem.
