Swimming!

We got a little giraffe baby pool for Katie to swim in...she likes it, but I think she likes to take a bath more! She is also starting to say a few more things, like "ball" " more" and something that kind of sounds like "rock" when she gets on her horse or in a rocking chair. Our newest body parts to identify are toes and knees. She says "mmmmmmm" for a cow, but everything else still roars! She can make a hissing noise, so I am trying to get her to do that for a snake.

Last weekend Katie went to stay with Nana while I went to Dallas with my friend Kristy to shop! We had a great time, and the kiddos had fun with grandparents. I got a few things for myself, but mostly stuff for Katie of course! It is just way more fun to shop for her-at least her clothes don't cost that much! I wish I already knew if my sister was having a boy or a girl....I could have bought him/her a lot of new stuff! We will know soon! Yeah!

Poor Katie is also teething a lot! She still only has four teeth (that's all she has had since Christmas!!!) I think she may just have several coming in right now, so hopefully they will feel better soon! She has been waking up in the middle of the night hurting, but she usually goes back to sleep after we give her some motrin or teething tablets and rock for awhile (or bring her to our bed!)

Here is a new video....I just put together several scenes- some from when Wendy, Mark and John came to visit, and then just some other random playtimes!

New Pics! Katie is getting bigger- she has now hit the 20 lb mark, so we turned her car seat around! Big deal...considering most kids her age were turned around almost 3 months ago! She now knows where her ears, mouth, nose, eyes, bellly button, hair, and knees are-we are working on more, and it usually only takes a day or two to get a new part since she is super smart! We are also trying to learn what sounds animals make, but right now everything "roars"....lions, bears, birds, pigs....everything except dogs, and she has a different sound for them. Favorite foods right now are: chicken nuggets, pears, carrots, american cheese slices, meatballs, peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches, and fudge stripe cookies. She pretty much has chicken nuggets everyday for lunch....I offer other foods most days, but if she doesn't eat whatever I gave her, I usually give her some nuggets because I know she will eat them! New activities: climbing on all of the chairs (including the office chairs so she can hit the computer buttons), running back and forth in her crib, pushing the high chair all over the kitchen, and riding in the cozy coupe! Just a little update-hope everyone is doing well!

I tend to talk all about Katie on our blog, but a little side note about me- I just made my sister Rachael some curtains! I am pretty proud of myself-they look good and she loves them-it was my first attempt with sewing to make anything big like this, and they turned out well, so who knows what I will try next! I will put some pictures up when we get them hung up!

Monkey Bars!

Ok.....this video is so funny-we went to the park the other day to play, and Jason held Katie up to the monkey bars to see what she would do, and she grabbed on and wouldn't let go! It obviously made me a little nervous, but Jason was practically holding onto her. What a little monkey!

Scroll down to the bottom to see our Peanut Butter & Jelly video...so funny!!!!

Tonight we had some pancakes..which Katie has tried before, but she likes the syrup, and that always ends up making a HUGE mess since she loves to put it in her hair and everywhere else! So, I tried making her little pancakes with the syrup already in them-I mixed the syrup and melted butter in with the batter and then cooked them-it was a great success! All the taste without the mess! Well, almost-she did still put some pancake in her hair!
