Katelyn had fun playing cars with her cousin Kyle


Aunt Sara and Uncle Kent have an enormous backyard and Katelyn was taking full advantage of all her freedom. She absolutely loved just running all over their backyard!

Katelyn was enjoying all the attention from her Aunt Sara

Hugging "Blue"

Katelyn loves Elmo the best, but she makes sure to give "Blue" a big hug every now and then. My little sweetheart!

What are you bringing me now?

Reading Time

Katelyn definitely has favorite books and will push the book away if it is not one that she wants to read. She is quite opinionated already.

In LOVE with ELMO

16.5 months old

Katelyn loves Elmo on Sesame Street, so we got her a stuffed Elmo doll which she adores. It is so cute when she gives Elmo a big hug and kiss.

Picking Pictures

Almost 16 months old
A couple of weeks ago Katelyn discovered her finger can go in her nose, quite the accomplishment (said with sarcasim), and of course her daddy grabbed for the camera. (I am sure when she is 16 years old she will love showing this picture to her friends :)

The first time she did it I told her no and to take her finger out...which of course made her want to do it more (basic logic) and she continued to stick her finger in her nose....so when she did it again we just ignored it and didn't say or do anything (other than snapping some pics for the album, of course). The second technique (ignoring) worked much better because she has not done it since then.

I will admit we had a hard time not laughing (which would have made her want to do it more since Mommy and Daddy seemed sooo amused by it).

Breakfast Time

Katelyn is now pretty good at eating with a spoon and fork...here are so clips of her in action.

We had a nice day so we took Katelyn for a walk at the park.

Father and Daughter



Look closely...is Katelyn's daddy mocking her? (Katelyn puts her pointer finger in her mouth or in her ear alot and will then just stand there and look at you...she does look kind of silly)



Is she actually trying to tell me that she needs a nap?!?!?!


Future gymnast???

Visiting Friends

February 22, 2009
14 months

We went to visit Jason, Mary and their 2 1/2 year old daughter Sage.



They own 2 horses and have a small farm. So Katelyn got to experience a little bit of the country life. She met "Crown" one of their horses (to Katelyn he was like a really big Cassie Doggy). She didn't care to much for Crown, I think he was a little bit too big for her liking.



The chickens on the other hand were more her size and she enjoyed them much more. I had to hold her back though ...if she had her way she would have been right in with them.



After "playing" with the horse and chickens we all went out to eat at a local restaurant. Katelyn had fun playing with the sugar packets, my straw, some crackers ... and anything else she could reach...but it kept her busy enough so we could eat (mission accomplished).
