2 years old!

My sweet little 5 pound baby that fit so snuggly in my arms is now 2 years old and barely fits on my lap! Each day I love that little girl more and more. It is certainly getting harder to type up these update blogs, because she has so much going on now.
I will begin with her stats...
Weight: 30lbs. (90%)
Height: 36 1/4 in. (95%)
While Kate began life 3 weeks early and for sure on the low end percentage wise for weight, height, and head... she has now grown leaps and bounds and finds herself on the high end. :)

What is she up to? Oh where do I begin!
* she is still a pretty good eater
* her favorite food is pizza..oh, and tomatoes! I have to hide them in the frig or she will eat a whole container of cherry tomatoes.
* LOVES to walk around in other people's shoes, especially high heels that click on the floor :)
* has a small crush on Robert from one of her Barney movies!
* enjoys coloring... still switching from right to left hand...even though Daddy thinks she's a lefty like him
* sometimes we catch her "reading" books to her babies
* counts to 6 consistently... sometimes she gets to 13
* all letters are "ABC"
* knows most colors
* would rather be outside playing than anything else
* her best friend is Rookie (or as she calls her "Rooker B")
* most common saying is " _____ what doin?"
I could go on and on... but those are the basics.

We are looking forward to a fun filled summer full of swimming, playing outside, trips to the spray park, visits with the Grandparents, Uncle Brian and Caree's wedding!, and a vacation to the Great Wolf Lodge and Gulf Shores!... and hopefully more blogging. :)

Easter 2011

We had an amazing Easter weekend filled with family, friends, egg hunts, bounce houses, petting zoos, and most importantly amazing worship.
Here is the little missy dressed for church on Easter Sunday.

After church our families came over for an Easter Egg Hunt and a delicious dinner!
Kate did so much better hunting eggs this year! Kate and Payton loaded up on lots of treats!



On Saturday (I got a little out of order loading my pictures)...we headed to church for an egg hunt, bounce houses, and a petting zoo. Kate is a bounce house pro now!



During the egg hunt Kate would go up to an egg... sit down... open the egg...and THEN put it in her basket. Needless to say, with 100 kiddos hunting eggs we didn't get many. But, she was so excited anyway! Sweet girls Payton and Rowan were nice enough to share some of theirs. :)



Kate has become fascinated with "bunny raps". She loved the ones at the petting zoo and every night she has to look for them in our front yard.



What an amazing weekend!
