Spring is here!


The rain and cold are finally gone and it is beautiful in Georgia.

Thank the Lord!

We have been enjoying being outside as much as possible and have even had a few redneck moments in our front yard....




She would get in, close the door, say "bye bye" and then blow a kiss.

17 months or 17 years?

Slow down time...

17 Months

WHAT!?!?



How did that happen?

I would say that my baby girl is officially a toddler.  She is busy, busy, busy and developing quite the personality.   She is sweet and happy, funny, full of great expressions, and sometimes a little bit of a diva (shh..)

Her favorite things are being outside, holding hands, pushing her baby around, baby einstein puppet movie, reading books, riding in her car, and SNACKS.  

She will give you a hug and a kiss if you ask her at the right moment.  She is also quick to shake her head NO and walk away sometimes..


Loves to rock in her chair and say "rock, rock, rock"

She is trying really hard to count and does it every time she stacks something or puts things away. 


She has lots of words.. uh-oh, no, dogggg, baby, please, di di, tee tah, uh-huh,
 and applesauce are some of her newer ones.  I swear she learns something new every day these days.  It's unbelievable.  On the other hand, she is getting frustrated because she wants to be able to talk and communicate with us and gets mad when we don't know what she wants.

She is already Miss Independent.  Only wants to feed herself with a spoon, tries to put on her own jacket every day, and sometimes throws a bit of a tantrum when you try to help her with things.


She loves to sleep and is ready for bed around 630 or 645 a lot of nights.  She will point to her crib and say "night night".  She also still LOVES those binks...


She is SO snuggly after bathtime before you get into PJ's.  It is 5 minutes of heaven.


 She LOVES her daddy... like A LOT


She is still just a little bit.  Just now outgrowing her 12 month clothes and still wears a size 2 shoes.  We are not really quite sure how she walks on those tiny feet!


Sweet Kate, who knew we could love you more every day.  Please stop growing so fast, I can't handle it.



(Sorry, random and rambling post.  So many things that I just don't want to forget.  Time is going too quick!)

That's a HUGE belly!

I've had lots of requests for bump pics... Here are a few from a little impromptu bathroom photo shoot with my gal.  We pretty much have matching bellys these days...





We went to the doctor last week and I was measuring 5 weeks ahead!  Yikes... 




Love This Girl...

Have I mentioned that lately?

She is full of personality and she loves her some bathtime...

Gymnastics

We started parent-tot gymnastics class a few weeks ago.

Kate can't really do half of the stunts/stations, but she has fun climbing on the mats and crawling through the tunnels.  She gets the hang of it more and more every week, and she LOVES going down the slide.







Love having a mommy/daughter date on Saturday mornings.  It is the highlight of my week.  This happy gal fills my heart right up.  Can't get enough of her.

Chores

Starting her young....

Kate's new favorite thing is to feed Wrigley





We're still working on her aim....

Sunday Snuggles

Kate got some type of stomach bug on Saturday and woke up Sunday in a funk.

All she wanted was snuggles and mommy.

I think she was awake for a total of 2 hours all day.  The rest of the day was spent like this..


It was pitiful and wonderful all at once.


I soaked up every minute of that snuggly gal (and may have gotten a little nap in myself... best thing ever for prego mama!)  It doesn't happen that often.



On a side note, I have lots of posts that I have written and haven't put up for whatever reason... I promise to catch up this week!
