Kathryn 19 months - January 23, 2007

Well another month has come and gone. Kathryn is just a big ball of energy lately. I swear she literally bounces of of walls. Just kidding ! She gets into everything in sight and refuses to listen when she wants to do what she wants to do. Lately, she's just been a sponge when it comes to words. She says so many now but her latest ones are green, bowl, mine, me, and Elmo. Oh she just adores Elmo's World. She usually likes to sit with nana Newberger to watch him. When he's on she comes speeding into the room like lightning.

Kathryn thinned out quite a bit now. She looks so much like everyone in the family on both sides. I (mommy) had someone tell me that she looks like me today as we were leaving ECFE class. Besides ECFE, Kathryn will be taking a gym class starting February 2nd. I can't wait to go with her. We went to the open house and she loved it. She played on all of the gym equipment, made a snowflake and got to play with moroccas and a xylophone. So much fun!

The mimicing is just so amazing to watch. When mommies vacuuming Kathryn likes to get out her vacuum too. She will turn on the computer and play with the mouse. Like I said " It's just amazing!"

Getting into trouble is just Kathryn's thing. Today she opened up a thing of blue fingerpaints and it went all over the rug. She did this with the yellow paint last month. Oh messes come with toddlers. I just wish I could get clean up instructions and a cheat sheet on how to handle certain situations.

We got Kathryn a potty chair. She has been showing signs of knowing when she tinkles. Also she is trying to put her leg over the side of her crib. Which means getting a toddler bed soon too. It's just so much at once.

Kathryn's 2nd time sledding



Kathryn on the phone



Oh our little girl just loves to talk even if there is noone on the other end. She's just so cute ! Kathryn gave nana Newberger a kiss over the phone once but we haven't been able to get her to do it again. And Kathryn will jibber jabber to nana Leary like there's no tomorrow. Usually we have to chase Kathryn to get the phone back :)

New Years Day - Sledding






Kathryn was very excited to go sledding for the first time. As many of you know Kathryn was only 6 months old last Christmas. Well anyways, Kathryn just loved sledding. We heard her say "Weeeeeee" one time. Mommy and daddy took turns pulling Kathryn.
