I wish I was this photogenic after a nap.
Hugs for the bear!
Dancing and cuddling her glow worm
I believe this was a gift from Aunt Sue. It’s her current favorite toy.
Today she picked it up and said “Night night!” Then came over to me and did this:
And this:
Coloring!
This is how they chill/play.
Wouldn’t it be nice if they liked each other and got along?
They both love the coat rack!
Gymnastics birthday party!
Both kids had a blast today! Owen started on just the bounce house…
And Katie was having fun everywhere. She was a blur!
Owen was then busy running and jumping all over! I didn’t even try to get pictures!
She was really good—she just stopped at the top with no interest in the beam!!
The whole group!
Taking a break on mom. 🙂
How they’re watching a movie.
Sibling Love 6
Momentary heart failure
I was getting dinner ready when I looked in the living room and saw this:
Yes, she had gotten the pony up there by herself then climbed on and was rocking.
She wants to be close to him!
He was playing a video game and she had to be right there with him.
Katie is 18 months old today!
Good little waiting girl
I had an oil change this morning, and Katie was awesome. Pulled out the chairs at the kid table and drank her milk and ate her crackers.
She did play with the iPad, wander a bit, and “talk” to some of the other customers, but she was very cute (and quiet) so no one was annoyed with her. Most actually stopped to chat with her!
At the playground
My busy shutterbug
P.S. In a hand-me-down sweater from…I think friend Angie!
An 8 B night
Of course since I had Gramma Jean sew a bunch of Baby Bs into blankets for Katie, now she likes the singles. She asks for one at naptime and bedtime—but tonight she wanted the 4B blanket PLUS the other single Bs that were floating around. You can’t clearly see them all, but she’s laying on them all and loving it!
Fun with Alno and brother
I found these jammies while I was looking for something else—I swear I had pics of Owen in them but I can’t find any…
ALNO!!!
“Hello!”
Post-snack sibling fun
I was scurrying around after the kids’ [post-school] snack and heard lots of giggling. I came in to see this:
The warm before the storm
It was a balmy 66° when we were out this morning running errands…before it’s supposed to be 0° or below 0° tomorrow.
Peek!
She loves hiding behind the tree and peeking out!
Charlie and daddy!
“CHARLIE!”
“DADDY!”
She knows what a phone is!
Half the time I give her my phone for “Alno” she does this instead:
Peace!
I was trying to get a picture of the outfit (more of Beson’s hand-me-downs) but she wasn’t cooperating like usual. 🙂
Escapee!
I just turned on Katie’s monitor to see if she was asleep yet…and I swear I heard walking-around noises. Owen knows not to go in…so I keep watching and…yep, there she was…the little shit got out of her crib! I had been in the shower so didn’t hear anything and Owen says he didn’t hear anything, either. Egads.
I’m not ready for this. She HAS to wait until Tom is home—I really don’t want to deal with taking apart her crib and buying a bed (even though friends have offered to help me get a bed home and/or dismantle the crib and/or put together a new bed). But honestly…I’m just really not ready for the Super-Nannying I’ll surely have to do to keep her in her bed/room…
All her toys will come out tonight so she has nothing to stand on. (I was too gobsmacked just now to take them out plus I watched her until she fell asleep.) I’ll give it another day or two of watching like a hawk before I make any major decisions (which I fully understand could come back to bite me in the ass).
Can you find her?
Pizza play date!
One of my mommy group friends invited us over for a play date and pizza dinner. I really needed to get out of the house so I eagerly agreed!
The kids (but mostly Katie) were mesmerized by the BIG TV at their level.
Enjoying cupcakes after playing and dinner!
And after we put Katie’s high chair on the floor, she had to sit in it—and she tried to buckle herself in.
Skyping with some cousins
Doug and Marie and the kids are at Gramma Jean’s house so we all Skyped. Owen had to show them lots of his Christmas presents and Katie was a bit of a whiny mess…though Robert got her laughing with a few rounds of peek-a-boo!
Katie’s first time-out.
No, she didn’t do anything terribly wrong, but I figure she’s gotta start learning sooner or later…so when she didn’t do something simple I asked her (after I counted—and she understands the counting!) she got a time out. She was a little perplexed.
Also note her new (hand-me-down) Elmo slippers! She LOVES them and didn’t even try to take them off!
Someone lost granola bar privileges
Some days Katie can mostly cleanly eat a granola bar.
Not today.
I left her alone for 10 minutes or so and came back and it was gone so I figured cool, she ate it.
Ha.
HAHA.
Pantsless
Owen: Mom! I saw Katie pulling at her diaper.
Me: Is it off?
Owen: No. Just her pants.
Yep, he was right.
