I'm a bird...a plane...a crab..

On the last update, I mentioned Kate was a frog and wondered what she would be next. Well, here lately she's wanted us to hold her in the air so she could fly like a bird saying, "Tweet, Tweet". She's been an airplane flying through the sky. In fact, she's been asking to fly to bed at night like a bird or plane. She noticed crabs for the first time at Publix. Therfore, she's been a crab "snapping her claws". Last night, she was a whale swimming on a stored pack-n-play. I finally had an opportunity to grab the camera quickly to capture the moment.

Just a quick update

I had to get Kate out the house today to burn off some energy. This afternoon she pulled an old bunny and bear that we did not mind getting dirty in the wagon. She then decided to crawl on a 8" width rock wall while proclaiming she was a frog. She'd crawl along the wall and say, "Ribbit, Ribbit". When she'd fall off she would say, "Try again...Ribbit, Ribbit". Last week she said she was a fish while at the dinner table and this week is a frog. I wonder what she'll imagine to be next week!

Until I can figure out how to take out this picture, the background on the t.v. is a lady in a halter top getting her hair done for her wedding day.

Kate and Everett were both exhausted by the time I got home Thursday after work.

They had a fun day together while I was at work.

It's snowing!

This is my first time seeing snow! Ms. Holly said I noticed it first at her house, so then we went outside to play. Mommy had to get some quick pictures once we got home, but the beautiful snowflakes started turning into sleet. We're hoping for accumulation overnight.

It's been quite a busy day. I'm exhausted after the excitement of snow and playing with McKinley after I got home. I think I'll relax on the couch and watch Max and Ruby.

Happy New Year

Kate was exhausted by 10:00 p.m., but she had a great time getting ready for 2008.

Merry Christmas

Last night as Mommy tucked me in to bed we heard bells from Santa's sleigh. I was almost asleep when Mommy came to pull the cover over me. I heard bells ringing gently outside my window. I sat up in bed quickly and listened quietly. Mommy said, "Santa must be near waiting for you to go to sleep". I nodded my head "yes" and drifted off to sleep quietly and very quickly. It was truly a "Magical" moment.

I decided to finish off a cookie Santa left on his plate.

Santa Came

"Oh Boy"! Santa really did come to my house.

Santa even left me a message on my Magna Doodle wishing me a Merry Christmas. WOW!

Santa brought me a vacuum, mop, and broom. I can clean the house like Mommy now!

I whipped up a special Christmas breakfast for Mommy and Daddy. I added "Pepper" to the delicious breakfast. I think this tastes perfect now.

Mommy and Daddy gave me some of my favorite books. I can put these in my new dollhouse bookshelf that Santa brought me.

Christmas at Nana and Papaw's

Uncle Brian gave me a shopping cart, play food, and Raggedy Ann.

Great Aunt Terri and Great Uncle Pat gave me a beautiful Cabbage Patch Doll. Mommy said she used to get Cabbage Patch dolls when she was a little girl too.

Great Uncle Tim, Sue, Christopher and Morgan gave me a Dora Doll and matching DVD. I wanted to "Comb hair" as soon as I saw her. I love Dora and have been wanting Dora toys.

"Oh Boy"! It's a kitty kitty. It's not real, but it sure does look real. My kitty's tummy moves like it's breathing. If I listen carefully then I can hear kitty breathing. I've wanted this kitty since I saw it this summer. Thanks Great Uncle Pat and Great Aunt Terri.

Papaw and Nana gave me a doll. Her name is Katherine too. I can call her Baby Kate now too.

Callaway Gardens

I had a great time seeing the lights at Callaway with Mommy, Daddy, Aunt B. Uncle Andy, and McKinley. I also saw Santa. Cousin McKinley did better sitting in his lap than I did. I had quite a grip on Mommy when we started going near him. I knew what we were doing and did not really like the thought of sitting on a stranger's lap.

You better not pout, you better not cry....

Books and play

Yes, our little Kate is intrigued with my Merck Manual. It looks like she's taking after Mommy at a young age with an interest in nursing or rehab.

I love to hide under the kitchen chairs. When Mommy finds me I'll shout, "You found me"!

Getting ready for the holidays.

We are getting very excited about Christmas. I talk about Santa and reindeer when I see them. We've decorated our tree, wrapped presents, made Christmas sugar cookies, and had a great Christmas party at church. I can't wait to go to Callaway to see Santa in person.

I loved helping decorate the tree with Mommy and Daddy. I was very careful not to break the "balls", which is what I called them.

I love my new Christmas dress that Ms. Debbie made for me. I even turned sideways for a couple of poses for Mommy.

I had so much fun at the Christmas party at church with my nursery friends. We played, ate lots of goodies, and made great Christmas crafts.

One Little Indian

I thought I'd show off my beautiful

headdress that I made with Ms. Holly.

Fall Festival

While Nana's's busy helping someone play the leaf toss, I think I'll just help myself to the prizes. I did that a lot at the church fall festival.

I feel like a such a glamorous kitty with my necklaces and sunglasses on that I won.

Carving the Pumpkin

Daddy carved my pumpkin last weekend. He carved the large pumpkin, while I kept busy drawing on my little pumpkin.
