Gimme a kiss

Katelyn now understands this phrase. And it's the greatest thing! Brad and I will say that to her and she will lean towards us waiting for a kiss. She doesn't know how to pucker yet but she will learn. I love also how she will giggle and laugh after one of our kisses! She's the best.

Let me tell you how lucky we are...

Since Katelyn's birth we've been been super lucky with her. She started sleeping through the night very early on which was great! She is a very happy little girl and has always had that happy temperment. She's really only shown teething pain once, which was with the first one, and hasn't shown any signs since. She has a mouthful now too!! She started walking like a pro around 11 months. We had a harder time with the sippy cup but she eventually gave in.

Currently the only problem I seem to be having is with her speech development. She only wants to say baba or uh-oh. She can say mama and knows what cat is but I wish she would say more. Oh and she now is getting a little attitude, and no, I don't know where she's getting it from!

On a side note Katelyn did thefunniest thing yesterday. I was sitting on the couch using my feet to play with Lacey, when this happens she will play bite my feet. Katelyn saw this an d every time it happened she would start crying! It was almost like she thought Lacey was hurting me! It was so cute and funny. I know she loves me!

Happy Birthday Aunt Laura :)

Also Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Busy busy bee

So this year is already starting to be a busy one for us. We knew going into this year it would be. This year alone we have 5 weddings to attend. Four of them are my family members and the fifth is my best friend, which I will be the maid of honor. Katelyn is growing like a weed and starting to wear 18 months, which I am actually having to buy clothes now! We are trying to teach her as much as possible as well, she's a little sponge!!! Also in progress is our house. We just this week were approved for our loan and hope to start something next month. In the meantime Brad is either hauling, working on the farm or figuring out the next step with the house. I am keeping busy with work, Katelyn and doing some freelance. I'm trying to workout but that doesn't always happen!

We are looking forward to Easter as we will be spending it with Brad's family. This will be the first time in s long time that Brad's uncles will be in town. One family hasn't seen Katelyn since she was born and the other has yet to meet her! Not to mention all of his cousins are able to come as well. Kevin and Hillary will come also. So we can't wait!! It'll be a blast!

Mom and I, with Katelyn along for the ride, went to Babies r us recently and got a few things. She picked up a gift for Kristopher's newborn. I don't think I've mentioned before but congrats to Kris and Megan on the birth of their son Jackson, he was born on February 14th.

I want to add that on March 6th Linda and I hosted a baby shower for Hillary. I think it went great and she as well as her family had a good time. Now we just can't wait for April 22nd!

On a finishing note, Katelyn decided to try dog food today. I was sweeping the living room when I heard her in the kitchen messing with the dog bowl. She has done this in the past and we've scolded her but she hasn't listened! I found her with a mouthful of food and scared her when I tried to take it all out of her mouth. I was able to get it all and successfully made her cry! I didn't mean to but I freaked out thinking it could be bad for her. Hopefully she doesn't try that again!

Happy March

Its the first day of March and I am so looking forward to warmer weather! Other things we are looking forward to this month are Hillary's baby shower on the 6th, Aunt Laura's birthday on the 17th as well as St. Patrick's Day! Not to mention Katelyn will be 14 months. She is getting big so fast. I forgot to add that on March 20th Twilight's New Moon comes out! I personally am looking forward to that!!!
