My New Ride

Katie got her first big wheel this weekend. She can't quite get the whole pedaling thing yet, but as you can see, it seems like we have quite the daredevil on our hands. These shots are just a few of her maneuvers.

Melmo

Katie was very excited that it was finally warm enough for her to wear the Melmo (aka Elmo) outfit that's been hanging on her closet door for so long! She also has pampers this week, which have elmo on them, and she wants to kiss the diaper before she puts in on now!

I can't do my Work!

It is amazing how much a child will observe you and try to duplicate what she sees. Most of the time, you don't even realize she is carefully studying you, watching, learning, and most importantly, remebering. When we first sat Katie in the desk chair, immedialty she started typing. Then after a couple seconds she reached over, put her hand on the mouse and tapped her fingers a few times. Then she went back to typing. She's brilliant!

Too Funny, Really

For some reason, Katie's shirt in these pictures cracks me up. Probably way more than it reasonable should. But I can't help it. I had to buy it (full price, which I try not to do, I mean 10+ bucks for tiny baby t-shirt, come on people)and then I have to laugh when she wears it. Little one thinks she's just too funny for Momma. I especially love the little easter peeps that are running across the back of the shirt. Sorry you can't see them here, they are really too funny.

Can They Really Be Ahead of Schedule?

We recently received notification from our builder that we will be closing on our new house in three and a half weeks, which is ahead of schedule. Let the packing begin - again!

Bad Grass, Good Grass

I have to wonder, what will she think of tinsel?

Much Better than Last Year's Easter Costume

Last year at Easter, we had Katie dress in a head to toe bunny costume. She HATED it. This year, she kind of likes the furry, fuzzy ears. She wore them on her way to see our new house on Friday. Here's what it's looking like now. Inside, we also have coutnertops, doors, fireplace and mantel, moldings, tubs and toilets, and hardwoods! We will probably get to move in before the end of May. Can't believe it! What I am most excited about is that we will have all this grass for Katie to go out and play in everyday! She loves going outside, she would stay out all day and night if we let her. It's hard for her to go out and play at the apartment, so the yard for Katie to play in is going to be the best part (OK and maybe also the whirlpool tub!)

Steve's Family Easter

We celebrated an early easter at Aunt Susan's house this past weekend. Katie had fun walking everywhere, even though she did get a little tired and therefore, whiney. But Ganny Pam, um I mean, the easter bunny, got her a really really big ball, which she rolled around all over, and acted all big and tough as she tried to lift and throw it (she managaged it!)
