Sitting up!

 

 

 

Will, will be 6 months this week & has been sitting up over a week now. He still doesn't have all of his balance figured out & I'm not ready to let him sit there alone yet but it won't be much longer. Both kids have check up's this weeks so I can't wait to see how much they have both grown. I'm sure Katie is off the charts for both. If you haven't seen her in person she is very tall for her age, she is 3 years old & wears a size 5 in all of her clothes. She usually towers over all of the kids her age. I think Will is going to be the same way, he really has been gaining weight now that his reflux has gotten under control. I will post more after our appointment.
Oh & Katie has discovered my ipod, it usually stays in the car so she really hasn't ever paid it too much attention. After she listened to a few of my songs I decided to download her a toddler album of songs she knows & she has really been attached to it. She even took it with her to the grocery store (it really kept her quiet & occupied) with us & the lady couldn't believe she had her own ipod. Not yet, maybe one day she can have mine but it will be a long time before she has one of her own!!

Helping Daddy work

 

Brad has been doing some repairs around our house so we can hopefully get it up for sale this spring, & yesterday Katie wanted to help. I don't know if my clumsy little girl really needs to be holding a hammer but she did pretty good when it came time to tear things down. It was such a nice warm weekend we all ended up being outside & watching daddy work yesterday. The house is starting to look so much better & I can't wait to finally get it up for sale & hopefully SOLD! We are running out of room fast!

Watching Big Sister!

 

If Katie is around Will's eyes are glued to her. He is crazy about his big sister & I think she can make him smile & giggle better than anyone else. He really enjoyed watching her draw a picture of one of the clowns she saw at the circus, what an artist ;)

Circus

 

 

 

 

Saturday we had our first trip to the Circus, first for Katie & first in a long time for Brad & I. It was pretty good, I know Katie had a great time! We went down on the floor before the show started & Katie got to see the Elephant paint a picture, but she didn't like the way it smelled of course. There were a few times during the show she seemed to lose interest & we actually ended up leaving a little early because she was ready to go. I think we will wait a few more years before we decide to make another trip to the Circus!

Last of the Birthday pictures

 


After Katie got up from her nap today we sang Happy Birthday & she blew out candles on her cupcake. She has been a little confused because her party was Saturday & today is her actual birthday. I think she thought she was having another party today. I have to say she has really liked all of the attention today & the phone calls she has gotten. She has been running to the phone everytime it rings today & has even gotten a little embaressed when they have sang to her. She has had a great day & it has been so much fun spending it with her.

A fun birthday

 

 

 

 

Katie was so excited to wake up this morning on her birthday & see snow outside. Well it was more ice than anything but she didn't care she just wanted to play in it. She had fun throwing the snow/ice at me & her daddy. Look at our crazy dog! She makes me feel so bad when I look out the window on a cold day & she is out there shivering, boy she knows how to fool me! That cold water didn't phase her, I will remember that next time she makes me feel bad! I wrote in the snow for Katie & after I did it I remembered I forgot to put the date, when I got back out there Sadie had left her mark for Katie too.

Happy Birthday!

 

Happy Birthday to our baby girl who is 3 years old today! I took this picture the other night of her in her 1st Birthday hat. I can't believe how much she has changed in just 2 years! I wish I would have taken a picture of her in this same hat last year but I just didn't think about it. Katie you are a beautiful, smart, & happy little girl & our lives changed the minute you were born. I thank God everyday for sending you to us! I look forward to so many more of your birthdays, we love you very much!!!!

Katie's 3rd Birthday Party

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Yesterday was Katelyn's birthday party, she had such a big day! We had a joint birthday party with Logan who was born 2 days before Katelyn. We had two inflatables one princess & one whale & they were a big hit with all of the kids. We had to set everything up & Katelyn was taking her shoes off before they were blown up all the way. Katelyn wanted a Cinderella birthday party with a Cinderella cake so that's what she got. Her cake turned out so cute & all of the little girls seemed to be impressed with it, there were even a few fingerprints in the cake. Katelyn had so many friends show up to celebrate her birthday & she was so excited! We sang Happy Birthday, had cake & ice cream, & they were all ready to go back & play again. Katelyn opened all of her gifts as soon as we got home & she got the cutest clothes & toys! I have to thank everyone who came & helped with the party, you all made my little girls day so special & one I'm pretty sure she will never forget! Tomorrow is her actual birthday & hopefully she will be able to build a snowman for her birthday, we will have to wait & see!
