Okay, so I know I'm WAY overdue on updating the blog. What can I say? Life is busy! We are "patiently" waiting on news of our new niece who will hopefully be born soon! Annie's been having contractions the last 2 days but they keep starting and stopping. We're so excited to be an aunt and uncle and I can't wait to see what she looks like. If she looks anything like Annie then the baby and Kaitlynn will probably look a lot alike. Considering the fact that Kaitlynn looks more like she could be Annie's child than mine!!
We continue to be amazed at Kaitlynn and all the new things she's learning every day. She's starting to have many pretend conversations with her dolls and toys. Lots of things have been going to time-out lately! Every day when I take her to the babysitter we drive over train tracks. She usually just says "choo choo" but this morning she said "Choo Choo, Choo Choo Thomas" (Thomas the Train) "Thomas, Where's Thomas? I don't know?"
She is certainly a little dare devil which just about gives me multiple heart attacks daily! She will climb on EVERYTHING and is not afraid of falling or getting hurt. We've also decided that she should wear a helmet because she probably hits her head at least 10 times a day. Thankfully she is a tough little cookie and hardly ever cries when she's hurt.
Jo, Jarred, Emma, Olivia, and Michael, Jennifer, Nicholas and Alex all came over to watch the Super Bowl with us. We ate, dug through Kaitlynn's clothes for Olivia to borrow and played with the kids while the boys watched the game.
Kate and Olivia even got to take their first bath together!
A "mooch" for Iya (Olivia)
My parent's came to KC 2 weekends ago so Matt and I went out to Cheesecake Factory for our annual Valentine's date. It was delicious and we had such a good time getting out for a bit!
Just being cute before church
This was a snow storm after Christmas. It was really cold but they had a fun time running around in the snow for a while.
Daddy taught her how to make a snow angel
We went up to my grandparent's house this past weekend since we didn't get to see any of them at Christmas. We had a great time and are so excited for Mark and Diane's house which is almost finished!
Opening her Valentine presents. She kept yelling "presents, presents" We didn't get to see this excitement at Christmas because she was so sick so it was fun to watch her. Her birthday should be a fun time!
Enjoying a tasty sucker with Daddy
Checking out the snow. Our drive home that afternoon wasn't too much fun on the drifting country highways.
She loved to rock Great Grandma
Happy Valentine's Day!
When we were unpacking from our trip somehow Kaitlynn ended up in one of our bags. Matt carried her around for quite a while and she just sat there having a great time. It was probably much funnier in person but we got a good laugh out of it!
Too funny!
The other night I asked Tucker if he was hungry and Kaitlynn went to the cupboard completely by herself, got out his food container and put what was left in his bowl. She's growing up so fast!
Tonight when I got home I handed her my sweater and asked her to take it to Mommy and Daddy's room. I heard another door close so I went in to check it out and couldn't believe what I saw. She had taken it not only into our room, but into our closet, put it in the laundry basket, closed the closet door and was headed back out to the kitchen!
Welcome to the world Abby!
Kaitlynn let Abby borrow her Iowa hat. I don't think we ever got a picture of Kaitlynn wearing it. Now I wish we did because it's so darn cute!
How sweet is this??
