Tidbits

~Kate's new vocabulary includes:
*sit down, get down, lay down
*baby's sleeping
*what happened?
*oooohhh mannnn (like as in after she spilled her cereal or can't get her food on her spoon!)
*my turn, Kate's turn
*snowman, Santa Claus
*lots of new animals like elephant, horsey, pig, bunny, chicken, kitty, birdie, lion
*triangle, star, heart (she can name these correctly)
*SO many more...this girl is outta control

Aunt Melissa taught her this!


~Today she pointed to all the parts on my face and named them just for fun...including eyes, nose, mouth (mouf), ears, chin, cheeks, hair (I didn't know she knew cheeks and chin?!)

~She eats all the marshmallows out of the Lucky Charms then asks for more.

~She has gone on the potty once every day so far that she's been in the 2 year old room at daycare.

~She LOVES football! She's gone to quite a few high school games this year and loves it!! On the way to daycare we pass a field and she always says "yeaaaa football!"

~Her tantrums are NOT improving.



~She spent the night at Grandma and Pappy's Thursday night. (Dustin and I went to a Steelers game!) That was the FIRST time EVER away from her mama!!

Kate woke up from her nap while I was typing this post and this girl cracks me up. I went up to get her and she did something that made me laugh and she says "funny! funny!" Then she pointed at the radio and said "music on." Who even knew she knew how to say that? Then we went to go down stairs and she pointed and said "stairs, step, step, two, three, four." What happened while she was sleeping?!?

I tried sponge curlers in Kate's hair overnight! I couldn't get a good picture and I think these make it look worse than it did. Everyone at daycare thought it was so adorable!! I was thinking about doing it for her Christmas pics but I'm not sure yet. I think it looks kinda silly.




We went to Chuck E. Cheese's the other day for a birthday party. Kate had a blast! Her surprised face is the face she made every time the ride stopped.

Babies, blessings, and binkies

So Kate loves babies!! "Hug, hug" is what I hear every 2 seconds when we are with a baby along with Kate's outstretched arms awaiting a hug from the unsuspecting baby. This is Baby Cora. (sorry I didn't get the best pictures)

She is my good friend Monique's new little baby. She is one month old. She is adorable and sleeps all the time. Kate can't get enough of this cute little girl.
Here she is giving her hugs and kisses.


She likes to give her pillows, books, and toys. The cutest thing ever was when Cora started crying and Kate looked at me and said "uh oh, binky" and went and got Cora's binky and gave it to her. Then she found a stuffed animal lamb and gave it to her too. It was so cute. She's not even around babies much so it was just an instinct. She is getting ready to be a big sister someday! Well in January I will be going part time at the daycare and babysitting baby Cora 2 days a week. I'm so excited to not have to send Kate to daycare 5 days a week! (Although Kate is now in my room full-time. Which is either good or bad...we'll see in time! I love her being there so I can spend time with her but it's stressful since she's a little moody at times and I don't want her to be the naughty kid in class!) Anyways...yeaaaa for blessings. What a blessing it is to have the opportunity to work and take care of Kate at the same time! And I'm so excited to be able to help out a friend too.

On a random note...
Some of my friends are starting to get rid of their child's binky...mine has decided that one binky is just not enough!
