just a quick post

Just thought I would post a few quick pictures since I know that is what everyone really wants to see. ;)  Last post I talked about Katelyn's 2nd birthday cake.  Well, here it is.  She was quite excited about it and you can see her digging into it (I am not sure which birthday cake she made a bigger mess with - her 1st or her 2nd.)  She loves playing with the castle and princesses these days.





Just mom and Katelyn taking a quick picture celebrating her birthday.  I am sad to report I don't have a family picture to post, sad, isn't it?  Any parents out there know what birthdays are like, nonstop craziness, getting everything in order, etc.  Luckily the grandparents took a family photo for us.



Katelyn likes Mickey Mouse and was excited to open "dancing Mickey."  Her little laughs of joy are priceless.


I also mentioned awhile back that we got the double stroller (aka, my new car) back out for Spring.  Below was the kids' first stroller ride of 2011.  Looks pretty cold out with all the snow in the background, but I promise you it was warm enough.  The picture was taken quite awhile ago, but we are walking almost everyday the weather is nice and we are loving every minute of it!





Year book picture?!?!  Although you can't see her pretty long hair this picture totally captures her personality.  She has dad's hat on and mom's shoes.  What a hoot.



And do you think Jonathan drools enough?!?!  And sorry to say, no teeth, even after all the drool.  Katelyn didn't get her teeth until later so I am thinking Jonathan is on the same track.  He is pretty unusual in the sense he will not eat baby food.  It is very frustrating, but obviously he isn't malnourished.  He did get his first ear infection about a week and a half ago and weighed 19 lbs. at almost 7 months!  But still, every time the spoon goes near his mouth he just keeps those lips sealed tight.  The little stinker even has even figured out how to chuckle and keep his mouth closed at the same time.  Mommy tries to trick him sometimes, and he has caught on. 


Katelyn has really been enjoying legos lately.  It has become her bedtime routine (legos have now replaced reading books.)  Katelyn and dad built a giant tower and she sure was proud of it!


And our third baby, Sophie, is always in the background.  Sophie and Katelyn are actually starting to play with one another, although Katelyn isn't always the sweetest.  Sometimes is it more pestering Sophie than anything.  It is so hard to take a picture of Soph because she is black, but her brown eyes are under that black hair somewhere!  ha ha.  Hope everyone is enjoying the weather.  Hopefully we make it to the zoo this weekend (which might entail taking some fun pictures!)
