4th of July

We are finally getting to this post! Problem with digital cameras...you never download the pictures until you have a million. So, sorry this post is so late. We headed over to Parkland College and sat out on the grass. Katie loved all the new experiences that go along with 4th of July.



Katie tried a snow-cone and loved it. She had no intention of sharing though (when she likes something eating becomes a very serious matter).


She also became very attached to sunglasses, kettle corn, and was in complete awe over the firework display

And just for good measure: Katie is just starting to be interested in craft projects. So, trying to be a good mom I baby proofed and prepared for finger painting. I was so excited and proud of my extra effort. I thought for sure it would be a total hit. Unfortunately, it was a total BUST. Katie put her fingers in the paint and immediately was upset about her hands being dirty. An "A" for effort I suppose.

Water Baby

Last week we got daddy to leave school early one day and we headed to the outlets. We bought Katie a new Sunday outfit. She was so excited she carried it around the house all week. And was so excited when we finally let her wear it.

Summertime has arrived. So, we put Katie in her swimsuit handed her the hose and let her have all the fun she wanted. She managed to get every square inch of the backyard wet in record time.

Adventures with Toddlers

Toddlers like to be doing and they like to be doing on their own. Katie trying to do things on her own has created adventures at our house.

Katie feeding herself (always an adventure).


Probably one of the greatest things about toddlers is you never know what they are going to do. Last night before I went to bed, I went into Katie's room to check on her and this is what I found...

Annihilation

Annihilation: matter and anti-matter collide, destroy one another and release energy. This happened to us last week. Pile of Sod (matter) + Bare Dirt (anti-matter) = Happiness (energy) + No Pile of Sod + No Bare Dirt.

Storytime with Katie

Katie has a few words but most of the time she babbles. But she always babbles with a purpose. Here is Katie telling us a story.
