We are ready for Spring!!

Paul and I got Kaitlyn a sand and water play table today. Judging by her reaction, I think it is a hit!!

Kaitlyn: Month Thirteen

I don't know if I am going to continue to do monthly updates for Katie Bug. Maybe quarterly updates???  But I haven't posted in awhile, and I thought I should write to let everyone (if anyone still reads this) know that we are doing okay. It has been a busy month full of parties and a new year, and lots of work for mom/dad/grandma/everyone.

Kaitlyn is doing fantastic!! She is growing so fast....

She runs
She babbles and talks to everything and everyone all the time....maybe she is mine
She shares her chewed up food
She tries to eat with a fork and spoon, but still prefers her hands
She helps get herself dressed
                                and undressed
She loves to give hugs
She brings toys to share with you now
She tries to stack objects
She is scared of the vacuum
She loves to throw things on the floor...even food, especially food
She hates bows, hats, ponytails and anything cute I try to put in her hair
She loves balloons; H.E.B. is great right now
She adores her daddy
She tries to lift everything....even 24 packs of water
She doesn't want to take two naps a day anymore, sometimes she thinks she doesn't need any naps
She hates the sippy cup for drinking, loves to chew on it and throw it on the floor
She loves to swing
She LOVES grandma, (again, still)
She has the most adorable laugh
She likes to put lids on containers, like her bottle
She wants to be with the big girls all the time
She LOVES the water, almost as much as Uncle Jon's files
She is a drama.queen.

Example.....

She is just the most precious child I have ever met. And I am so not biased. I am dumbfounded on a weekly, daily basis, of how blessed/lucky I am to have such a sweet daughter. We are so in love with our Katie Bug.

Kaitlyn's First Snow!

We got snow in San Antonio!!!

I honestly couldn't believe it; we hear the predictions once a winter, or every other winter and nothing ever comes of it. But this year, it did! I imagine the total was less than 1/4 inch. Just enough to get everyone excited, cancel school and delay work. :o) The ice was (always seems to be) the worst part.

Katie wasn't quite sure what to think of the snow. She walked around the driveway a bit before venturing out into our deserted street and promptly fell on her booty after crossing a patch of ice. She got to enjoy a snow day with Grandma and Uncle Jon while Paul and I were off to work.

Interestingly enough, Grandma said that Oklahoma was having a horrible blizzard. The news said it was the worst they've had since February 1983, the blizzard I was born in. How cool that we had Katie's first snowfall on my birthday!
