All Out of Batteries

I actually dragged my lazy butt out of bed at 6 am on Saturday to go to yard sales with my Mom and Aunt. I wasn't going to go, but at 6:09 Katie woke up, so I figured if I was going to have to wake up anyway, might as well go with them lol. My Mom bought me a frap and gave me $15 to buy stuff for Katie. The first hour we didn't find much at all! They were fighting over the lack of sales and the cost of gas haha. But then we started finding baby stuff. I found books for Katie, animal crackers, a Rice Krispy Treat (for me lol), she got some outfits from Mary and my Mom, I got her a Baby Einstein DVD that she likes, I think lol. And a push toy that pops up little balls and counts to 10. (Thanks Mary) Katie likes that toy! She doesn't know how to push it, so she pulls it along with her instead lol. She's so funny. After the yard sales we went to Katz and Jammer's for breakfast. Katie shared everyone's food. She smiled real big and pretended she wanted us to hold her, only to try to reach for our food when she got to us haha. It was a fun morning, I GUESS it was worth waking up early for lol. (But I was soooo tired by the time I went to bed that night!) By the time we got home Katie was tired and cranky. I left my Mom's to put her to bed at home, but she wasn't falling asleep so I let her play more. Eventually, in the middle of taking my batteries out of the remote control and trying to put them back in, like it was a fun puzzle, she knocked out right there on the floor and slept for an hour, before getting up, crawling a few feet, and then knocking back out for another hour LOL. She must have been beat!

What A Lucky Mommy Like Me Gets To Wake Up To

My silly little baby, crying to be rescued from her crib lol

Park

David and I took Katie to the park on Sunday, just to get out of the house and let Katie play. First we took her on the swings, which she loved. We kept asking her if she wanted down, and she would shake her head "no" at us. We kept laughing, it was cute. During the swinging, she kept giving David High Fives and laughing. I caught a picture of it and was excited :) It's cute. After we finally got her off the swings, we tried to let her walk around and do what she wanted, while we followed her, but all she wanted was to hold our hands while we led her to the fun lol. We took her on some slides, let her crawl through some tunnels, and just let her have fun being outdoors. We stayed for about an hour and then went home. It was a nice time though, and I know Katie had fun playing. There was a little boy there that was 14 months, that Katie kept trying to chase lol. It was so funny. She liked him. But he wasn't interested in girls, he just wanted to go on the slide, his Mom said sorry, boys are all about being active, haha. So we had to pull her away from him and take her down more slides. Kids are the funniest. Katie likes other kids so much, it's so cute.

Katie's Toy Box

My Mom gave Katie a toy box that she had in my room for a while now. She finally gave it to me lol. It's now in Katie's new room, with all her toys in there. The other day I was sitting in her room with her, playing with her toys, putting her stuffed animals and letting them sit on her chair, and we were taking turns giving them kisses, since that is Katie's new thing she has been doing lately. She loves to give kisses. If you ask her for one, she will plant one on you, it's so adorable :) Anyway, Katie's favorite thing that night, was to climb into her toy box, because that is the fun thing to do. Not to play with the toys outside on the big floor, but to sit IN the box, cramped, playing with whatever toys you're not sitting on. This is how our night went.


First she climbed in.

Then she sat nicely to play.

When she couldn't get back out, Mommy had to help her.

As soon as she was out, she was climbing right back in.












And when Mommy helped her out again, she was so proud and happy :p

Sickies :(

Another reason I haven't been posting lately, we have been sick! Katie got it first, and the poor thing was throwing up for days, it was nasty. She was going in her diaper 15 times a day, the poor little baby :/ Next I got it, threw up a couple times and was better. David got it the night I was feeling better and threw up the whole night. I felt so sorry for them both. Katie just layed around for half the day, just drinking water and laying down, sleeping. I've never seen her so still in my life lol. My Mom watched her for us for a few hours when David and I weren't feeling good, and my Mom put her in chonies to air out her rash she got. She looked so funny and cute in them! lol. She's feeling better now thank goodness. I hope we don't get sick again for a long time! Her rash is now getting a LOT better by the way. It's still a little there, but not as bad. I can now wipe her instead of throwing her in the tub lol. She cried every time I wiped her of course, I know it hurt, so I stopped and gave her a bath instead, putting Desitin on her little hiney after :p

Bathtime Fun

I love giving Katie baths just because she's so cute in them lol. She's so silly. This is back when we were still at my Mom's house. I brought all her bath toys over so she would still have them to play with while we were staying there. She has new crayon toys for the bath, that you can write on the walls with and it washes right off. I thought they were the cutest thing, but of course Katie can care less about them :/ All she wants to do is suck on the thing :/ lol. I think I use them more than she does lol. I write messages on the walls for David and Katie :p I think they're cute. Anyway, Katie is funny in the bath. She thinks the water is so fun. The whole time the water is running, she has her little hands under the faucet, playing with it. I need to buy her more toys soon. I'm sure she's getting bored with hers already. Her new favorite game is dumping everything out of the tub. Her toys, one by one, the shampoo & conditioner bottles, everything and anything in the tub, end up on the floor as she watches it drop. Sometimes I will toss them back in with her, and she looks amazed, like, where did that fly in from? lol.

Our New Apartment

We moved into our new place on the 4th. I still don't have internet/cable, so that's why it takes me so long to post. I have to go to my Mom's to use her computer when I want to blog :p I like our new place enough, mostly just because Katie has her own room, not that all her toys still aren't in my living room :/ She likes to bring them out and watch her cartoons with us. David and I have been watching a whole lot of Disney lately, thanks to little Katie. She has some DVD's (no tv yet remember) that my Grandma and my friend Katherine gave her, so we've been watching those with her in the morning and at night sometimes. Last night I watched Dumbo with her and she danced every time a song came on, it was cute. I need to buy her more, because her 8 or so she has, are getting old! I've seen these movies 100 times when I was a kid, I don't want to watch the same 8 over and over again lol. Anyway, my Mom is helping me decorate Katie's room slowly but surely, she'll have a cute room soon enough. My mom painted a dresser thing for her, and she bought sticky things for the walls, since we can't have anything permanent. I hope it comes out cute, I'll post pictures when we get it together. Our first night in the new place, David ordered pizza since we didn't unpack everything yet, and didn't have the gas on for the stove yet. Katie ate half a slice and some apple juice lol. She liked it :p
