How Did Kadee Get So Big??

So I am having a really hard time with Kadee growing up so fast. Really. This is ridiculous. A 14 month old should not be half the size of her Mommy. Kadee is the size of my whole leg. She is so tall! She can only wear clothes size 18mo and bigger. She is up to size 5 in shoes. She's now in size 4 diapers. We had to buy her socks from the little girls' section because nothing in the baby section would fit her at all. 

Her vocabulary is increasing daily. Listed in order of the most frequently used:
  • Hi
  • Puppy
  • Daddy
  • Banana (na-na)
  • Cookie
  • Fish (psh)
  • Hop, hop
  • Happy
  • Cracker (ca, ca)
  • Baby
  • Quack quack (cack ca)
  • Go
  • Key
  • Hey!
  • Num num
  • Woo-we! (weeooowee; it means "you stink")
  • Shoes (shoosh)
  • Mmmm!
  • Pretty (pi-eee)
  • Brush (Bush)
  • Dance (Da! Da!)
  • Hot
  • Hat
  • Book (Boo; no 'k' sound)
  • More
  • Bye bye
  • Mail (ma)
  • Yuck (only a 'k' sound)
  • Momma
  • Grandpa
  • Grandma
  • Bum bum
  • George (Gurj - she's really referring to "monkey")

Sorry Grandma, but I'm right down there with you.

Kadee can also tell you what a puppy says, what a fish says, what a duck says, what a monkey says, what a car says, and that a bunny goes "hop, hop".
Because of piano lessons, Kadee thinks that every time we get out of the car, we are going to see a puppy. She is a big time puppy enthusiast. 

Kadee has also figured out how to work the drinking fountain at church and how to climb up and down the step stool. Although, going down isn't super graceful and I have to help her off the top step. The bottom step, she has no trouble with. She likes the step stool so she can "help" me wash dishes.

Kadee loves reading books. We read books over and over all day long. Some of her favorites are "Quiet Bunny's Many Colors", "Paddington","The Napping House", "Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose", "Curious George", and lately, "Just Me and My Dad". And "Baby Beluga", but we sing that one, we don't "read" it.

She's becoming more mobile each day and walks less and less like a bow legged Frankenstein. We have been having her walk a lot to get plenty of practice in because she is definitely too heavy and too big for me to carry around.
 Asleep with "Curious George" still in hand.                     Loves reading with Daddy.
She could not stay awake to wait to pick up Daddy.
So, SO! Sleepy                                Caught red handed!
