All about Kate

While in the car the other day, Kate recited The Night before Christmas, word for word. She also walks around the house reciting lines and songs from the movie Tangled, granted she watches it pretty much every night but still. Her teacher says that she does great in remembering words in both Spanish and Chinese. Not sure she will ever need Chinese but who knows.


Her eating habits have gotten better. She recently started eating string cheese, which she use to eat when she was younger. She will also eat a turkey and cheese sandwich, loves corn and will eat green beans and peas if they are in chicken pot pie. I decided, I'm not going to fight her on it, she will eventually start eating fruit and other veggies when she is ready. I didn't like tomatoes until I was 27.

Kate is doing great in swim lessons. We signed her up at Houston Swim Club in Katy in November and they make all new members take a 2 week maintenance course. By the end of the course they want them to be able to swim and then turn and float on their back by themselves. Kate was able to do it by day 6. She is now learning the breast stroke.

Conversation between Kate and I
Me- Was Chayse and Landry at school today?
Kate-Yes. Chayse and Landry are twins.
Me-Yes, I know. They are also sisters.
Kate-No, there twins.
Me-Yes, but they are also sisters.
Kate-No, there not.
Me-Ok.
We had the exact same conversation about Jacob and Jude, who are twins. The conversation ending the same way. :)

15 months

15 Months
I took Brody for his wellness checkup today and my poor baby has an ear infection and pink eye. He has had a fever for about 4 days and has been super cranky. Whenever Justin and I would hold him he would just lay his head on our shoulder or chest, it broke my heart that he felt so bad. In the last month 4 of his molars have come in which makes a total of 12 teeth now.
He loves looking at books, playing with whatever Kate has and being outside. Whenever you ask him "where's your tongue", he sticks it out like a lizard and then tries to lick you with it. Brody went through a phrase where the only fruit he would eat was bananas, thankfully that didn't last too long and he will now eat pears again. He says "thank you" but sounds more like "tank too", his other words are mama, dada, uh-oh, bye bye, hi, ni ni(night night), nana(banana), more, ball and dog.

Weight- 19lbs 13oz(he lost a little being sick)
Height-31 inches
Head circ.-18.5

Waiting for the Dr.


Looking and feeling miserable, I put a cooling patch on him, hoping it would make him feel better

Shoe lover

Brody has a thing for shoes. It doesn't matter whose shoes they are, he tries to put them. He spends more time playing with shoes than with his toys. His new "favorite pair" are Kate's red Jessie boots. He LOVES them and didn't want to take them off.
