Flower Power

Kaitlin had a rough day yesterday. She was off schedule from the very beginning of the day when she woke up an hour early. This Daylight Savings switch is not family friendly! I think we may boycott the time change next year. We thankfully made it to church and she did wonderfully with Mrs. Gayle. Kaitlin was so tired after church that she fell asleep on the car ride home. No nap Sundays are not a favorite pastime in our house. Kaitlin was grumpy all afternoon and we could not make her happy. She was very quiet on our way back to church last night and by the time we pulled in the parking lot she was Sound Asleep. Kory dropped me off and she slept an hour and was a perfect angel the rest of the night. Hopefully we can get back on schedule today!

Pink Poodles and Pandas

Kaitlin found one of my old pandas last week and it was love at 1st sight at least for Kaitlin. She kept touching his nose and her nose then saying “nose”! It was so cute.Kaitlin also said panda which warmed my heart!

   

She has been laughing at herself more and more. Kaitlin thinks she is soooo funny. We couldn’t agree more!

Kaitlin at Fall Festival

This one is a little late, but here's Kaitlin having fun at the Fall Festival in the bounce house.

Dress up

Inspired by several Disney Princess movies, Kaitlin has been wanting to play dress-up a little more lately.  She certainly our little princess but I believe that she’s believing more and more these days that she is a real one. 

Kaitlin is tall enough as is, so I don’t know that she needs the tiara to make her taller.  She does look cute in it and her tutu though!

      

And finally, if nothing else, this is a GREAT picture because I she actually left the tiara on her head for more than 30 seconds!

Hello!

Maybe Kory and I spend too much time playing with or talking on our cell phones.  I guess imitation is the best form of flattery from Kaitlin:

I know that’s simple but we were really excited when she did it!  I figured I better capture this while it’s cute before she’s 16 and running in her room to say, “Hello” to some boy that’s not her Daddy!

Toyland

We went to First Friday On The Square for a little Christmas fun in November. Santa Claus was there but Kaitlin was much more interested in the Chick Fila Cow!  Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture but that’s because Kaitlin wouldn't stand still long enough … she just kept following him around downtown.

I was amazed when we arrived and just how many people were there.  Every vendor had a booth with giveaways and all the hottest toys out for the kids to play.  The Lego booth was particularly impressive …

 

Kaitlin’s favorite booth had to be Mattel.  Among other toys, BARBIE WAS THERE TO SIGN AUTOGRAPHS!!!  AAAAAHHHHH!!!

Kaitlin was so excited to see her.  She patted her leg and Barbie was the only person Kaitlin waved and said “bye bye” to all night!  She was also excited at the Little Tikes booth where she got to play with a couple Cozy Coupes (I heard this was Kory’s favorite toy when he was this age!)

  

We had a great time as a family and can’t wait to do it again next year.  Is it Christmas yet???  I’m so ready!!!

Cutie Cat

These are leftover from last week but I could not resist posting them. Kaitlin apparently has a LOVE for cats. (Not a love taught by her parents) She saw a wild cat last night and waved and waved . I would not let her get anywhere near the crazy cat but she still had fun! She would have stayed there ALL night if we had let her.

        

I love that you can see her cute piggy's here. I don’t have many pictures now of her bare feet. I know only a mother can love baby feet. but I am very sentimental these days. She looks like a baby one minute and then the next she looks all grown up.

Castle on a Cloud

Kaitlin has been very fond of the new Disney Rapunzel previews on TV so we thought she would be excited to wear her new castle outfit. I know it will be a few more years until we go to the real movies so for know we can wait for the DVD!

Cutie Pi Ranch

 

Down on the Farm

Kaitlin is one grumpy girl before dinner so we have started feeding her earlier. Once she has a full belly she is a different child and ready to play. We got some cute pictures of her after dinner last night. Notice our new love for stickers. She LOVES them and loves to decorate Kory with stickers as well. He is such a great dad and you know he secretly loves the stickers!

 

Showing off her dance moves…..

Full tummy equals Happy Girl!
