Kara's World

Kara is already 26 months old. She is growing so fast right before our very eyes. You know I did not know how much a child could touch your life until I had her. She is becoming quite the little girl too. She can make you laugh when you are having a rough day and forget what you were upset about. Kara is a hoot trying to become miss independent. We all know times goes by so quickly so I wanted to share some of Kara's world with you.

Watch out for puddles! Kara will find them wherever they are.lol Splish, Splash.

While it maybe getting harder to feed Kara these days she certainly has her favorites that we can fall back on: sausage, rice, yogurt, macaroni n cheese (or noodles). She is so cute when we go to a restaurant she wants to do her own ordering. She really enjoys meeting Tom for lunch during the week. Almost every time we get in the car to run errands Kara says "go to lunch with daddy"?!

Who knew at 2 what kids would say! Some of her favorite phrases right now are: I'm awesome! That's perfect!Ummm I don't know, Oooo what was that? What happened? No big deal. It’s okay daddy. Probably. Know what I mean, mommy. Sorry I didn't mean to Mommy. And my personal favorite I love you whole bunches!

How many books can a child have? Not enough according to Kara. She loves to read and be read to. I cannot tell you her favorite, as it changes from day to day. This kiddo gets so excited over going to the library.

Do the hokey pokey. Turn yourself around. That's what its all about! Yes this song has entered our home and is not going anywhere soon!

Kara has taken an interest in watching videos. While her watching time is limited she absolutely loves the Backyardigans! I love watching her when the music comes on and she does her little dance with them. She always says she's Tasha!

Kara has a new addiction. She has discovered how much she loves slushes. The other day she and Tom had this discussion:
Kara: Daddy I want a slush
Tom: You do!?
Kara: yeah! My own. (pointing at herself)
Tom: How old do you have to be to have your own slush?
Kara: Have to be 2! I have my own slush


Car preference? Yes! Kara would rather ride with Daddy in his “zoom zoom” (and no its not a Mazda)

We know she is all girl! Kara loves to go shopping. If you ask her what her favorite stores are she will till you Toys R Us and Target.

Kara does have issues pronouncing some of her words. The cutest of which is pep peeps (pepsi). For drink she says wink, and the word truck is said with a F (oh no!).


Coloring has to be Kara’s favorite activity. She has used up every page in my notebook lately. Now she has her very own, but would rather be coloring in the one I am using.


If you want to entertain Kara for hours all she needs is some wet wipes/tissues or paper towels. How odd! They call her the tissue queen at the doctor's office when I visit them. Who needs a blanket to wrap your baby or animals in?


She is starting to have an opinion about what she wears. I think she would prefer that everything has pockets. lol That way she has a place to put all her stuff she wants to take with her. While shopping she will pick out things she likes, I will say to her how about this one? She says "no mommy I like this one!"


Kara has been given some more nick names. She will always be Kara bug, but I have started calling her pumpkin paya and chicka chicka. Where did these come from? Every time I get into the medicine cabinet she wants the papaya enzyme tables, she calls them pumpkin paya. And for chicka chicka, this came from her alphabet book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.

Oh Kara now has a baby growing in her tummy! She will lift her shirt saying mommy feel my baby sister/baby brother. He is sleeping or she is moving. "You feel it"? She will ask us to sing it a song or give it a kiss. How cute is she! :)


Potty training is going great. She is wearing a pull up at nap and night time. She gets all excited when she is is dry. I love watching her do the potty dance!
