Wahoo! It's Warm!

Last week we had mostly warm days.  Only one day was cold, so we went outside a lot.  Katelynn loves to go outside and so it’s great that it has been warm.  She has learned how to open the door to go outside and so we have to make sure it is locked all of the time. 

We went to the park a few times this week and She just loves to run and run and run and run.  Every once in awhile she will want to play on the toys, but most of the time she is out exploring everything. 

We had to coax her to go up the stairs to go down the slide.  Daddy is great at helping her.  She really likes the slide, but doesn’t want to climb up to get to it.  Well, she wants to climb up the slide, but that doesn’t work so well. 

She will swing for a little bit, but then wants to get down to run around again.  The first counselor in our ward said that she is like the energizer bunny; just keeps running and running, never stops. 

We played with Bruce, Rohan, and Savitri one day at the park.  We only got a picture of Brue; he doesn’t mind posing for the camera. 

She was loving the slide when we helped her.  We were really trying to get her to down by herself, she is just too cautious, and wouldn’t until the very end.  Even then, she liked it better when we would hold her hand.  Our little girl is getting so big and in 18 weeks she will be an older sister!!!  We are having another little girl for those of you who don’t know.  We are super excited and I think Katelynn understands sometimes that there is a baby in my belly.  She like to poke it most of the time, she thinks it funny. Everything is going well so far and we hope it stays that way. 

A little this and a little that

In January we went to Rocky Mountain National Park.  It was gorgeous!  I loved the mountains with the snow and all the trees.  The sky was so blue.  We made it there just in time.  As we were leaving the clouds rolled in and a storm was starting.

We were planning on going on a hike, but it was way too windy.  So we opted to have a picnic in the back of Benjamin and Shanna’s van. 

The kids had a lot of fun.  It was a little squished, but that only made it more fun.  Katelynn did not want to keep this hat on.  She doesn’t like anything on her head or in her hair.  Maybe next year I can get her to wear cute winter hats. 

Katelynn likes to play in her tent with daddy.  Kevin likes to sing the spanish primary songs to her.  He has a really good voice and Katelynn loves it.   Katelynn likes it a lot when we sing to her.  She will start to humm with us; not the correct tune, but it sure is cute. 

Katelynn loves playing with the laundry basket, whether or not if it has clothes in it.  If there are clothes in it, they don’t stay in it long. 

One of Katelynn’s favorite things to do is run on our bed or the couch.  It scares me sometimes, but she has yet to fall off.  She loves it so much and will just laugh and laugh when she falls or is running. 

The other day Katelynn discovered she could sit in the cupboard.  She loved it and was trying to sit in it for a week or so.  It isn’t always this empty so she takes advantage of it when she can. 

A few weekends ago we went to a bouncy play place with Shanna and the boys.  They all loved it.  Katelynn found out she loves slides.  We can’t wait for spring to get her so we can go to the park more.  There have been a few nice days, but there needs to be more.  Katelynn loves to go outside.  As soon as we open the door she is out and running.  We go on walks and the warm days and the days that aren’t too windy.  She will point up at the geese all the time.  We have sooo many geese by our house all of the time.  Sometimes we hear them in our house and Katelynn will point outside and “talk” about them. 

We put this blanket on her the other day as a cape and she loved it.  She kept it on for a long time.  This is her babies blanket and she will bring us her baby and the blanket so we can wrap her baby up. 

Recently she has been wearing our shoes around the house.  She did really good walking in these the other day. 

She will pull this bowl from the cupboard and play with it.  She was pushing it around with balls in it here. 

When Kevin gets home from work he is really good at playing with Katelynn.  This is what I caught them doing the other day.  Our little girl is getting so big.  We love her so much.
