When you have a baby that likes to put everything on her head, sometimes you just have to join in! Meet the Hinck Diaperheads!It's been a few months since I have posted. A lot has changed! We moved to Shelley Idaho and I am teaching at Hillcrest High School in Idaho Falls. Troy is currently staying at home (he says he hates it, but I think he enjoys being with Kaylei) waiting for his new job to start, which should be at the end of this month. In the meantime, he's been preparing for a job interview as a Conservation Officer (long name for fish cop). He finds out in October if he passed the interview. If he does, then he has to do a physical and physcological test in November. If he passes these, then he gets a job offer, YEY!! Hopefully he makes it, he hasn't really thought about alternatives, he feels confident but of course anything could happen.
I am not particularly enjoying my work, but it's not so terrible that I will quit at any moment. I have some difficult classes but I'm determined to not let them get to me. I am learning some skills and getting to know my students and a lot of their parents :) I thought calling home would be awful, but it's really not so bad. We'll see how well it works this next week when the students come back to class.
Kaylei is doing well. She is super smart. According to our baby milestones book, she should have about 8 words. She has probably over 100, I promise I'm not exgarating! She points to things and asks what's that and then copies our words and remembers many of them. She knows her body parts, and loves to point out many of these on her parents, which could be embarassing depending on where we are! She's slimmed up a lot, we had to put her back in size 3 diapers and 12 month shorts, pants are 18 months because she's so tall but we have to get the ones with the adjustable waist in them and then put on a belt. She also has enough hair for pig tails!
These pictures were taken last night. It's the first night in like 3 weeks that mommy has had time and energy to play with Kaylei, and we sure did have a good time!Kaylei had the opportunity to go to the Eastern Idaho State Fair and went to the petting zoo. She loved the bunnies and the goats. Her grandpa also had a great time helping her feed the animals and keeping her out of the poop! She also loved the cows and watched them on the milking machine. After the fair, she started telling us what cows and goats and sheep would say. Cows say moo, sheep say baaa, and goats say goat!
Kaylei initiated our house within hours of being there. We were deciding where to put everything and she found the open box of fruit loops in the lower cupboard and was helping herself to a snack, when Ooops she shook the box upside down and the ENTIRE box was on the floor before I could stop it. I just stood there and laughed, what else was I to do!
We are still working on potty training. She did really well the first weeks we were here, but as soon as I went back to work, she quit! We're still hoping by the time she's 2!
