She couldn’t get her shoes off.

Katie has a new winter hat!
The dangers of taking Katie shopping with me. 🙂
A tutu and a sock? Pure Katie.
She likes minions, too!
These are also Owen’s old PJs…which I swear I had a picture of him wearing but couldn’t find one anywhere.
Our little mermaid
She wasn’t sure about it at first but now she likes it. Owen even wants to “wear the mermaid.” 🙂
Helping take off shoes
“Owee help please!”
First nightgown!
More PJ hand-me-downs—this time, her first nightgown!
Papa + the iPad, matching outfits, a ball, and Star Wars
Owen showing Papa ABCMouse on the iPad.

Kicking the ball around.
Showing Papa his Lego Star Wars book. Owen saw me with the camera and immediately gave me a good smile. I love that he’s somewhat trained. 🙂
Then we had to have Papa look up for a good picture, too!
Matching Girls
Grannie Lin showed up in the same basic outfit as Katie—so of course we had to get a picture!
Trying to get her cute new outfit
It took awhile to get her to sit pretty so I could get a picture of her cute new bumblebee outfit from Gramma Jean.
Owen LOVES his new jammies
He got them last night and wanted to wear them on the road trip today!
When she has access to your closet…
This happens.
Ta da!
She loves these jammies. She walks around saying “TA DA!” and pointing her toe. 🙂
Katie really loves shoes
She dug through the washing machine to find the Crocs I’d thrown in there to wash.
“Mama! I did it!”
Pretty in post-bath pink PJs
Ballerina PJs from Gramma Jean (if I recall correctly).
Another morning ritual
Some days I try to get them both in a picture on the stairs. You haven’t seen the pictures as it rarely works—as you can see. 🙂
P.S. Katie’s in another 3T dress from cousins Gracie and Aubrey. It is a bit big. 🙂
Looking good
We sent Owen up to get dressed and he came down in a very nice outfit (i.e. matching!) and when we told him he looked good (or snazzy or something we don’t remember because I didn’t write it down right away) he made this face. 🙂
So much for sitting pretty.
Sometimes it just doesn’t work.
She’s not overly big for her age, but she can wear some 3Ts. This is a borrowed hand-me-down outfit from cousins Aubrey and Gracie.
In mom’s dress with mom’s matching doll!
Grauntie Marge made this dress and doll for me when I was about Katie’s age. (Well, she actually made matching ones for my cousins Lisa and Lori, too.)
I figured I’d better get Katie in it before she outgrows it and the moment is lost forever… Of course, the bonnet has been misplaced—this whole time I thought it was with the dress (at one time it was, but we’ve been moving it around for almost 15 years now so I’m impressed we still have these parts)—and I didn’t have the first clue where to start looking…so it was just the dress and doll. Then, because I wasn’t thinking clearly, her hair was still wet and therefore looks kinda scraggly and not very cute. And of course she wasn’t the best at sitting still.
There’s no way to match the professional picture taken of me in the same dress with the same doll, but I may at least try again—there’s still enough wiggle room in the dress to try again within the next month or two. She did love the doll, though!
Katie and Lambie
I’ve been trying to take pictures of Katie on the stairs because the light is good and it’s a bright yet neutral background…so now she’s almost trained to automatically sit. Every once in awhile she’ll even say “sit pretty” like I usually ask her to do. 🙂
Today we had to have Lambie with us. 🙂
I was just excited that I just this morning realized she had a pair of pink leggings that exactly matched the top (pinks are HARD to match).
Katie in Owen’s old PJs
From April 23…I forgot it was on my real camera. 🙂 And then I had some Photoshopping to do.
Pretty in pink
Daddy’s Hat
I had hoped she’d come closer but she didn’t so I had to crop—hence the graininess.
The best I could do with the limited apps (and my limited skill) on the phone. In the original his face was so dark you couldn’t see much.
I told her she needed her shoes on.
Of course Owen was having a fit because she had his shoes. 🙂
I finally pulled out all her summer clothes.
Up until now, I’ve just been pulling out a piece or two at a time to wash…but I finally pulled out all the 24m and 2T stuff. I think this one was from Grannie Lin. Or maybe Gramma Jean. Or hell, maybe Grandma Marsha. I really can’t remember. 🙂
She LOVES shoes!
Even daddy’s shoes that are half her size! 🙂
OMG. Too. Damn. Cute.
The hair, the new sassy summer outfit (I think from Grannie Lin?), the look…
Cool new warm jacket
Grannie Lin sent a cool new jacket for Owen. It’s a much better fit than the one I found to replace the one that busted a zipper.
Costco + cute new summer outfit
This was the best pic I managed to get of her cute new summer outfit. She had pulled out her pigtails on the ride over so she had wild hair…and after shopping she didn’t want to be in the cart so she was standing there “helping” daddy.
The Lego Movie
Tom and I took Owen to The Lego Movie today. He was SOOO excited! The whole time we were coming home from Costco he was telling us to hurry so he wouldn’t miss the movie! We assured him we would be home in plenty of time. He even wore his new Lego Crocs!
The movie was really cute and Owen was super excited to see some of his own minifigures in the movie!
As the movie ended these were my exact thoughts:
- I feel guilty for super gluing some of Owen’s original minifigures together.
- I want to go buy him more Legos right now.
- EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!
You’ll understand all of those when you see the movie but here’s #3:
Then this happened on the way home:
