Last night we went to TGI Fridays with my brother and his wife. Trying to feed Kate is ridiculous most times so I didn't come up with anything she'd eat (that I wanted to pay $5 for her to not eat). So I found some goldfish crackers in my purse and thought that would make a lovely dinner. Kate does love tortillas so I gave her one of mine from my fajitas.
This is what Kate decided to eat for dinner.


A goldfish tortilla.


And she actually ate it!

Is it really potty time?

This is what I saw Kate doing a lot today. I don't know exactly what happened. She woke up today and decided she was going to pee only in the potty today. When she woke up I didn't put her diaper back on her. I left her nakey to run around the house. I put her potty chair in the living room where we were playing. I didn't ever tell her to go potty or ask her if she had to go...I just didn't put a diaper on her and put her potty in the room and reminded her she wasn't wearing her diaper.

WELL, she peed on the potty 9 times today with 0 accidents. Yes...0 accidents! She would just say poopy potty and go over to the potty whenever she had to go. Sometimes we weren't even in the living room. She would say poopy potty and walk into the living room and go.

Too bad we have to go to daycare tomorrow. I don't think they'll appreciate her naked butt quite like I do! Hopefully she keeps it up!

Kate's beautiful "smile"! This is what I get when I ask her to smile. It seems all kids go through this!!


This is what you will find Kate doing for at least 4 hours every day! That girl loves to color!


Kate LOVES to play with baby Cora! Here she has just given Cora lots of her bath toys to play with!


We baked mini-cupcakes for Kate to take to daycare on Friday. She loves to help and it's fun that she finally kinda can! Please excuse the picture...dustin changed the settings and in the moment I didn't know what was wrong!



Dustin and I had a very nice Valentine's day! We visited with my dad for a little while then took Kate to Dustin's parents' house so we could go out. We went out to dinner at a restaurant called Bravo!, an Italian restaurant. We were gonna go to The Olive Garden but I didn't think the 2 hour wait sounded worth it!! Bravo ended up being really good! Definitely comparable to the olive garden but with only a 15 minute wait! Mmmmm...and with really yummy bread and oil dip!


Then we went out dancing! It's been quite a while and I wasn't sure I had it in me but I was shakin it! It was lots of fun. We went to a club on our honeymoon but haven't been since. Kate stayed at Grandma and Pappy's over night so we stayed out late! It was lots of fun!





In other news...Kate went on the potty 15 times since last sunday!! She sometimes tells me she has to go but the other times I put her on when I change her diaper or if I notice she's still dry after an hour or so. Tonight Dustin was watching her while I was at the gym and he had her go before she got a bath. Well, she went and then he put her in the bath. She's in the bath crying (she's been REALLY whiny today anyways) and saying "poopy potty" over and over. He's getting frustrated because she just went and thinks she just thinks it's a game. But eventually takes her out and she sit on the potty and pees again! I guess she really knew she still had to go! Go Kate!

In other-other news...I started working out! I'm pretty stoked about this. I'm not one to exercise... if you know me, you know this but I just wanna get in shape a little. So tonight I went to the gym with my friend for the 2nd time. It was fun and I feel great! Last time I went I came home starving so I ate a half a bag of popcorn then 4 oreos with milk!! But this time I came home and got a bowl of grapes and apples! Baby steps!

So my sister yelled at me for never blogging so here goes.

Some new tidbits of my life:
*I watch a lot of tv at night. Each night is filled with great tv shows: the bachelor, american idol, ugly betty and lots of house hunters and property virgins.

*Working part time has really de-stressed my life. I never feel like thank goodness it's friday. I usually even forget it's friday!

*I need some fun and excitement in my life. I don't have many (any?) friends and feel like it's about time to get some. It's starting to get me down.

*I want to start working out. I'm going to go to the gym on campus here with my friend Monique (yes I said it...a friend. She's the mom of the baby I watch.) I'll keep you posted about if that actually happens and how that goes. I'm pretty anxious about it though, so I think it'll actually go down.

*I love Kate so much lately (as always, of course!) I don't want to jinx us by saying this but she is so good lately. She's so sweet and polite and is REALLY funny. She is silly and laughing pretty much from the time she wakes up till the time she goes to bed. I think me working part time really helps. She seems to have de-stressed as well!

*Kate can now recognize and name the letters M, K, D, P, Q, B, E, T, Y, O and the number 5

Anyways..enough of that. Here are some pictures and videos from lately.

As you may know, Kate loves to dance. Check out some of her new dance moves. Don't mind the binky in the one video. It's probably one of the only times I've ever seen her in a picture or video with that silly thing.
