Recent Pics

I have gotten a few requests from family to post some new pics, they need a Katelyn fix...so here are a few recent pics from the last week or two. We haven't done anything too exciting, just the normal work/school/library class/errands/playdates...but we've had fun!

Katelyn loves to have "parties" in her playhouse. She grabs us by our hands, pulls us in her house, sits us down, closes the door & says "party"!

I got this little Elmo potty a couple of weeks ago, she was so excited for the first week, actually used it a few times, but now when I ask if she wants to go potty, she says no. I'm not ready to potty train by any means, but just trying to get her used to the idea. I hope she doesn't kill me for posting this picture one day :)

Apples Apples, everwhere - I recently gave Katelyn a whole apple just to see how she could handle it and to my surprise she did very well. She ate about half of it w/out eating the stem or any seeds. I know, I know...it's the little things, my how she's growing up!


Drawing on her new Magna Doodle I got her at the consignment sale a few weeks ago...I forgot how much fun those things are...and I love that they are mess free :)

She has really gotten into having tea parties too - again with the party theme...she's bring me over to her table, sits me down (along with Mikey, Elmo, the Duck, her Dolly...whoever she can find) and pours tea, eats cake, etc...and say party!
Our little party girl!
Be sure and check out the video below too...it's kind of long because she gets a little distracted, but it makes us smile. Enjoy.

Our Valentine

Today we went to two Valentine's Parties & had a blast! The first was with our playgroup, where we did some adorable crafts, decorated cookies, ate lunch, and exchanged Valentine's. The second, was at Katelyn's school. They had a dance in the gym & a hot dog dinner. It was so cute to watch Katelyn really get into it all. Her first real dance with a DJ, strobe lights and all! Here are a few pictures of our Valentine on such a fun day...

Dancing girl...



Crafts galore...we've deemed Kristin as our future Girl Scout Troop Leader. Love all the creativity in their household...maybe it will rub off on me one day :)


The kids loved Lily's kitchen, at one point I think they were all lined up next to each other cooking away.
And a video to give you an idea of what the dance was like. Not the best, but still pretty cute.

Happy 18 Months!

Katelyn turned a Year and a Half this past Saturday! Wow, that means only 6 more months and she'll be 2!! I can't believe it :o)

We went to her well check yesterday and I wanted to make note of her stats for our records:

Weight - 27 lbs - 89%
Height - 33.5" - 93%

I was nicely surprised at her during the visit as well, this was the first time that she did not even flinch when they nurses gave her two shots...not even a flinch! She did have a lollipop to distract her, but in the past that hasn't been enough. Whew...made for a happy mommy!
