Random Pictures....


I just wanted to post some random pictures, my parents are in Costa Rica so I have to keep them updated on Katie!! Enjoy. Oh above she is playing with one of her new instruments, I don't know what they are actually called but I call them clackers!!

Running.
Playing with her fridge phonics.
I asked her what letter it was, can you tell it was an O?
U.
She likes to lift her whole tent up and peek-a-boo with us, not really the point of the tent, but she seems to enjoy it?!
Being cute.
Marching to the music.
Reading one of her new pigeon books, "Pigeon Wants A Hot Dog".
You have to love this face.........not as good as Tripp's bitter beer face, but still good!
Up close and smiling!
Cute, happy Katie.

More Christmas....

This afternoon, after nap time, we took off for my parents house to open presents, eat some more food, and enjoy all being in the same room at the same time. Of course Katie got more awesome gifts and is now an expert unwrapper of gifts, although when there are more than two at a time she gets bored pretty fast!
Opening a present.
Playing with a fishing puzzle, the fishing pole had a magnet on it so you could actually catch the fish, it was really cute and she caught on to the idea surprisingly fast.
Sarah and Mom looking at Sarah's new Gustav Klimpt book.
The living room after all of the presents had been opened......notice Katie is talking on her new Winnie the Pooh phone and completely ignoring the rest of the family!
Katie on her sit-n-spin.....she didn't get this one too much, I think they make them harder to spin now?
Aunt Izzie about to bop Katie on the head with a pillow.
After eating at my parents house we took off for Nat's Aunt Angie and Uncle Harvey's house. The picture above is Katie jumping up and down when she saw that they had a real train running under their tree....she LOVED it!
Katie swinging on the cool chair.
Katie and Nat getting funky, as best as they can!!
Bow head.........getting tired, can you tell?
Opening some gifts from a blind gift exchange.
Nat's Mom is one of six kids and every year Aunt Theresa(the second youngest), who lives in Florida, sends her sisters and sister-in-law a gift just from her. This year it was some bright and colorful watches, we always take pictures of them modeling their gifts!! Nice!!

Christmas Morning!!

Here are some pictures from Christmas morning, after Santa had dropped off some presents for Katie!
Katie's stocking.
Pushing her new Gymbo around in a cool little cart from IKEA.
Playing with her jelly bracelets.
Having a quiet moment.
Opening a present,  I think it was her play food.

Katie's friend Emma got her a remote controlled car for Christmas.......this was the big, big hit!! Thanks Emma!
LOVING the car!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Burt's House.

Tonight we went over to Nat's parents house to celebrate Christmas, eat a delicious meal and open presents. Of course no one had as much fun as Katie and boy did she get some really cool presents......here is the parade of toys......
Fridge Phonics, to help her learn her alphabet.
Mickey Mouse Christmas ornament, with her name and year on it! (They get her a Lenox ornament every year, I can't believe she has three already!)
I think this was Katie's favorite of the evening, Grandpa picked out the racetrack for Katie and boy was it a hit!!

Helping Grandpa get the track set up.
Watching the cars fly down......well I guess they are already heading across the floor at this point!
Showing off her new wheels to Daddy and Uncle Jarrett.
Taking a break to hang with Mom.
Yes someone got into the cake?!
Pointing out Jesus to me, and everyone else.......she loves baby Jesus.
Being cute.
Katie and Aunt Christy.
Aunt Christy, Uncle Jarret and Katie.
The little Burt family.....MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
