The things she says....

Kate can say some pretty funny one liners, and I have no clue where she gets them.

Example #1
Justin-Good night princess.
Kate-You got that right.

Example #2
Kate-Daddy, can we go jump on the trampoline?
Justin-No, baby its too hot.
Kate-Damn! I never get to jump on it.
Justin-Uh, what did you say?
Kate-Damn.
Justin-We don't say that word.
Kate-OK.
When Justin was telling me what Kate had said, he was giving me a look of "you know where she heard that". I told him, she didn't hear that from as that is not the word I usually use.

Example#3
In the movie Shark Tale, it has the Gold digger song in it but Kate hears it differently.
Kate-"She's dangerous, super bad, better watch out she'll take it bell, shes a nooo dig it, she's a nooooo dig it."
Correct versus-She's dangerous, super bad, better watch out she'll take your man, she's a gold digger, she's a gold digger.

My crazy child


Kate getting her first mani/pedi

First day of Pre-school

Kate and Brody both started Pre-school today. Kate has been going since last year so I wasn't worried or nervous for her. Brody on the hand was a different story. When I went to leave, he started crying which of course made me feel guilty all day. I kept looking at my watch wondering what and how he was doing. I admit it was nice to have the day to myself, I was able to go to grocery shopping, clean and get dinner prepped for tonight. Because I felt guilty leaving him this morning, I actually went and picked him up a little early. Ms. Brittany his teacher said he had a wonderful day, he ate three helpings at lunch, took an hour nap on the cot-which I was really worried about since he still sleeps in his crib and loved story time. `
Kate had a great day and is excited to go back tomorrow and see her friends.

21 months

Three more months and Brody will be 2!! How did that happen?!? He loves to say Daddeeee and Mommeeee. Even when we answer him he continues to say it. He continues to be a great eater, loves guacamole and chips. I have become a closet eater whenever I am around him because whenever he see me with food, he wants it, even if he just finished eating. The kid can eat. He is still going to swimming lessons every week and doing a great job even though now he doesn't like going to Ms. Lindsay the instructor. The first month he went to her with no problem and now all of a sudden he starts to cry and gets a pouty face. Hopefully his resistance to her wont be for much longer.
Justin and I decided to put Brody in school three days a week so that he can play and be around other kids. He will be going to the same school as Kate which makes me feel better about sending him. I had originally signed him up to go two days but Justin suggested 3 since he has every other Friday off, which means we can have day dates.

Busy Month

The last 3 weeks have been super busy. The first of the three weekends a friend and I went on a girls trip to Austin. We had a blast!! We day drank, shopped, relaxed, ate at some really good restaurants and even went to 6th street. Yes, we tried to act like we were 21 again. It will definitely become a yearly trip. The second weekend, we met Justin's mom halfway to drop the kids off for a four day stay. A second weekend in a row with no kids-I didn't know what to do with myself. Justin and I went to 2 movies, slept in, shopped, went out two nights in a row and just relaxed. It was nice!! The third weekend, Justin's mom and step dad came up to visit and we just hung out at the house.
The kids and I are now trying to get over sore throats and a running nose.

20 months

Brody has added some new words to his vocabulary, he now says uh huh, yeah, mmhhmm, and no. He loves to say no but doesn't like hearing it very much. He loves coloring with Kate and has started copying everything she does. One day Kate jumped from the couch to the ottoman and sure enough Brody tried the same. Needless to say he didn't make it. He is becoming more and more independent and gets easily frustrated when he cant do something. He is a great eater and loves pretty much everything we give him. I try to give him at least a fruit or vegetable at every meal, hoping it will keep him in the routine of eating them.

1,2, 3..

Bubbles...., that's what I say before dunking Brody in the water. When he hears "bubbles" he is suppose to close his mouth and hold his breath. For the most part he does, there are a couple times he goes under with his mouth open. He just finished his first month of swim lessons and was promoted to the next level which we will start next month. I hope he continues to like and excel in the water.

Kate facts

I thought it would be cute to do some fun facts about Kate.

-Can count to 23 in Mandarin
-Hates all fruits, except for when they are mixed in things, i.e smoothie or banana muffins
-Has never drank juice.
-Has slept with the same blanket since she was born.
-Will only eat vegetables if they are in chicken pot pie.
-Has an imaginary friend named Kimah.
-Has more stamps in her passport than most people we know.
-Loves to play golf.
-At night she has to have her night light on and closet door shut.
-Loves school
-Wants to be a Doctor when she grows up.

I can wait to see how many of these change and/or stay the same in the upcoming months/years.
