Kayla+and+Baby+Felicity



__**Day 1: March 16th, 2011**__ I adopted Baby Felicity today. The moment I saw her sitting on that shelf, I said to myself, "I have to have her." She is such a bundle of joy. Once I took her home, she met Loco, the family pet. He absolutely loves babies and could not get enough of Baby Felicity. The first thing I fed her was applesauce and she loved it. The best part is, she didn't give me a problem when I put her to bed. She's such an angel.



**__Day 2: March 17th, 2011__** Tomorrow is the big play, and Baby Felicity was very helpful. She was quiet while I was getting ready, and she even played around with the hair rollers I had put in my hair. She tried to eat one, so I had to put her in time out for a little bit with her grandma. Felicity learned her lesson, and didn't play around with them anymore. I bought her some toys so that she wouldn't try to eat or play with anything she shouldn't.



**__Day 3: March 18th, 2011__** Today was the opening night for the Beauty and the Beast play and Felicity had a seat in the front row to watch me and my friends perform. She had a great time and absolutely loved the play. When we got home, she was still very energized and wanted to play the piano, so we sat down and played' "Twinkle, twinkle, little stars" and, "Mary had a little lamb." I think Felicity might just be a musical prodigy because after she played, "Mary had a little lamb," she went right into playing Tchaikovsky's, "The Nutcracker" and was able to read the sheet music for, "Aura Lee."



__**Day 4: March 19th, 2011**__ Aunt Kristy came over for a visit today. We took Felicity out for a walk and watched Ponyo, a movie about a cute goldfish princess who wants to desperately be human so she could live happily ever after with a boy named Sosuke. Felicity got hungry after the movie and wanted me to teach her how to make eggs and bacon so she watched as I flipped over the bacon and seasoned the scrambled eggs. While we were eating, she asked why Aunt Kristy wouldn't eat the eggs and bacon. I told her that Aunt Kristy gets sick when she eats meat so that's why she eats lots of peanut butter.



__**Day 5: March 20th, 2011**__ Today Felicity spent some time with her Aunt Trisha. They played peek-a-boo and Felicity was able to use the telephone and called her Aunt Kristy to tell her that she misses her and wants to have her over again. Felicity then stole my cell phone and texted Uncle Aaron to say hi. I think that Felicity is a reincarnation of Einstein in female form. Felicity and Aunt Trisha sat down and watched movies as I made chicken and rice with green beans for dinner.

**__Day 6: March 21st, 2011__** Felicity and Alanna had a play date at the park today. They swung on the baby swings and played in the sandbox. I had to take Felicity out of the sandbox early though because she has sensitive skin and has a great risk of catching scabies. We had a picnic and Alanna's mom Nazia made turkey and cheese sandwiches and I brought the potato chips. After lunch, we got icecream at Jitty Joe's and got balloon animals. At home, Felicity watched Animal Planet and saw a giraffe and started going off on how it was so tall and looked so cute and how she really wanted one.



**__Day 7: March 22nd, 2011__** Although it may be encouraging cannibalism, I made brownies with Felicity today and she ate one. She thought it was delicious and wanted more, but I told her that one was enough for a little baby. She then preceded to around screaming bloody murder until I promised her one when she woke up. After she fell asleep, I wrapped the brownies up in cling wrap and put them in the fridge. I just hope she won't get too upset when I tell her someone stole the brownies.



**__Day 8: March 23rd, 2011__** Today was a snow day so I took Felicity outside for the first time ever. She loved the snow but didn't understand how water came out of the snowflake when it landed on her tongue. I told her it was magic, and she got really excited and started jumping around shouting spells from Harry Potter such as Expecto Petronum and Alohomora while waving around a twig like a wand. I let her run around until she got tired and then we went inside and watched Harry Potter while drinking hot cocoa.



**__Day 9: March 24th, 2011__** There was no one in class for the first half of the day so Felicity spent time with Alanna and Karen. They played hide-and-go seek and tag and were going to watch the Count of Monte Cristo with the adults, but the DVD player wouldn't work so we just watched Rebecca Black's song "Friday" on Youtube and pointed out all the stupid things in the video, which was the whole thing. When we got home Felicity instantly went to my bookshelf and picked out a book to read because she wanted to read as much as I do. She picked out "The Bad Beginning" which is the first book in the Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. She finished it in the time it took me to cook dinner and set the table.



**__Day 10: March 25th, 2011__** Felicity and I took a little trip with Grandma to the grocery store. In the car, she kept singing "Friday" by Rebecca Black because it's so annoying it's catchy. She then got me singing it, and eventually the whole car was filled with "Friday, Friday, Friday" until some real music came on the radio. Felicity kept tugging on her seatbelt saying that it was annoying, until I told her that the seatbelt stops her from going out the window. She got real quiet and stopped fidgeting with the seatbelt. When we got to the store, she saw the freshly baked pies and made a bee-line for them only to be stopped by the glass case the pies and cakes were in. We let her pick out one thing from the store to eat when she gets home, and she picked out a store-made brownie of all things.



**__Day 11: March 26th, 2011__** Felicity got to meet Grandpa today. She watched him cook chicken and steak with potatoes, green beans, and rice. The moment she took a bite of the steak, she could not get enough and kept eating it until she was about to burst. She asked for more steak, but I told her that she had to eat the green beans, potatoes, and rice first. It's a good thing I told her too, otherwise, she would have been full of steak and wouldn't have gotten the foods necessary for a healthy diet. When we got home, we listened to Lady Gaga on my iPod. I'm pretty sure she liked it because she started dancing when she heard "Just Dance."



**__Day 12: March 27th, 2011__** Today was full of surprises. Felicity and I were getting ready for school when The Beatles came on the radio. Felicity absolutely loves them and begged me to listen to more music that I like. I let her listen to Owl City, U2, My Chemical Romance, Taylor Swift, and the soundtrack for Grease. Everything she listened to, she soaked it up like a sponge. On the bus ride to school, she kept singing "Mine" by Taylor Swift. When we got home, I introduced her to Snickers and cupcakes, along with the Vera Bradley website. She liked the dark chocolate Snickers better than the original and got sick from too much icing on the cupcake, but she absolutely loved the Vera Bradley purses and designs. Afterwards, we gave our pet rats, Yin and Yang, a bath so that they could be all clean. We let them run around for a little bit, but had to put them back in their cage because one of them peed.



**__Day 13: March 28th, 2011__** Felicity had a dream last night about all kinds of animals. She dreamt she had two cats, two dogs, a piggy, and a giraffe. I think it was because we watched Maggie and the Ferocious Beast last night. It's one of her favorite shows. I told her that she could have to cats, dogs, and a pig when she grows up, but she's not allowed to have a giraffe because it's against the law. She got a little sad when I told her that, but I cheered her up by watching Alice in Wonderland. She loved that part where the Hatter does his crazy dance at the end. Before I put her to bed, Felicity got a hold of my favorite bottle of perfume somehow. I told her to be careful with it, but right as I said it, she dropped it and it broke. I was a little mad, but it only had a little bit left in it so it wasn't too bad.



**__Day 14: March 29th, 2011__** I let Felicity read the paper today. She didn't seem to fascinated with the sports section so i showed her the comics and she fell in love with The Family Circus comic strip. She wanted to see more, so I went online and let her read more. After a bit, she wanted something to snack on, so I gave her an apple. She ate the whole thing in a matter of seconds. She said it was one of the best thing she's ever tasted. Felicity often enjoys looking outside, and today she asked what happens when the snow melts. I told her that it gets really warm outside and butterflies and ladybugs come out to fly around. She wanted to see pictures of the bugs, and thought they were absolutely adorable when she saw them. I showed her pictures of rainbows too, and told her about how a leprechaun has a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Felicity thinks that's a dumb idea because it's easy for people to find it then.



**__Day 15: March 30th, 2011__** Today, Felicity met Uncle Sean. They had a bonding time looking up delicious candy, for reasons that are unknown to me. I guess he wanted to show Felicity what the good tasting candy is. She saw pictures of Peeps, KitKats, and a chocolate truffle. I let her try a Peep when we got home and she went nuts. She wanted to try more foods like peanuts and Cheez-Its. I gave her some peanuts, but I told her she had to space out the times she eats so that she won't get too full. She loves peanuts and thinks that Cheez-its are okay. She saw a picture of a zebra and admired the stripe pattern for quite a while before removing her face from the picture. I think she might just be a Zoologist when she grows up.



**__Day 16: March 31st, 2011__** Felicity overheard someone talking about summertime and asked me what it is. I told her it's a wonderful time of year where there's no school and you could go swimming. I showed her a picture of Michael Phelps swimming in the Olympics and instantly she said, "I want to do that when I grow up." I told her that she could, but she should also consider something with designs because she made me the most beautifully decorated candle. We listened to more music today with Uncle Aaron and Karen. This time it was The Beatles' album, "Abbey Road." Felicity wanted to know what John Lennon was like, so I let her read the paper I wrote on him. I'm so proud that she can read at a college level at the flour baby age of 3. She was very inspired by Lennon's peace protests that she drew a peace sign on a piece of paper and put it on the fridge.



<span style="color: #0d8c77; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">**__Biography:__** Felicity is a very bright and fun loving girl with admirable qualities such as honesty, athleticism, kindness, and determination. She has many friends and a big family that loves her. When she gets mad, she doesn't take it out on anyone. She runs it off, and occasionally goes swimming in her olympic sized pool. After Felicity graduated from Riverside Junior/Senior High School as valedictorian of her class, she attended Stonehill college and majored in home design, biology, and ecology, while graduating with degrees in psychology, astronomy, and English. Felicity dreamed to be so many things such as an olympic runner, swimmer, zoologist, psychologist, veterinarian, astronaut, but ultimately decided to be an interior designer and a peace activist on the side. Before that though, she was a cashier at Pacsun to pay off her college admission loans. While Felicity attended college, she met Will. They instantly hit it off after he started talking to her about how there needs to be more peace and less hate in the world. On one of their dates during Christmas break, they went to a super fancy restaurant in New York City called The York and Felicity wore a simple black dress and a nice pair of heels. When she got a call from the hotel that her pet owl Hedwig died, she rushed out but not without surreptitiously pulling a Cinderella by leaving behind one of her heels. She drove back to the hotel where she was staying to find that the manager had already gone into her room after the cleaning lady found Hedwig motionless in her cage. It was a very sad night for her, but she pulled through it. Later that week, Will came to her hotel with her missing heel and did the whole Prince Charming act, and that's when he proposed. She said yes, and had a big traditional wedding. They honey-mooned in Dubai and spent lots of time on the beach. Once they settled down in their new brickhouse and bought a family friendly Chevrolet Cruze along with a nice boat for sailing, they had two little boys named Andrew and Felix. The whole family loved to go sailing and go on road trips. The one time they went on a road trip to Florida, they found a beaten up old couch on the side of the road. They were able to fit in the trunk and took it home to Bacon Flat, Ohio after they went to Disney World. Felicity was able to fix it up, and even design it herself because the floral print it had before was just dreadful, and the couch was featured in TIME magazine. That's when her home interior decorating career took off. Once she got enough money and publicity, she started campaigning for world peace. She also started an accessory line that included hats, bows, sunglasses and towels. She got so well-known, she started promoting best-selling books like The House of Night Series by Kristen and P.C. Cast and also body sprays like the Harajuku Lovers collection. Even through all her work, Felicity is able to still spend time with her family. They have two cats, three dogs, a potbelly pig, and an owl named Hedwig the Second, and they hope to have more pets in the future. They go snowboarding in Vermont and sailing in the Great Lakes. Felicity considers herself very lucky because she has such a great family and a very successful career as an interior designer and the creator of an accessory line. I just can't believe my little girl has accomplished so much before the age of thirty. She makes me so proud to be her mother.
