Our trip to Omaha

I am so glad that Daddy had the wonderful idea of our family going on a little vacation to Omaha. At first I thought "Nebraska? What in the world is in Nebraska?"...but it was such a fun time! We went to the Children's Museum where I played with water and got all wet, played on the slide and in a firetruck and got to meet all kinds of kids! I love other kids...I am not even afraid of the big kids...I just go right up to them to play! Sometimes I even touch them or give them hugs (if they let me). The museum had a giant room full of fun balls to play with and I thought that was really cool! Every kid rushed to fill the buckets up with balls and every few minutes all the balls in the buckets would go up into the ceiling and all fall down right on top of us...really neat stuff!

We got to eat out a lot...they even have mac and cheese and chicken fingers in Omaha! We went shopping and Daddy bought lots of stuff..not mommy this time!

We also got to go to the #2 zoo in America! It was cold and rainy, but luckily most of the exhibits were indoors. I got to see lots of fishies at the aquarium..I loved the bright colored ones. I also loved all the birdies. My most favorite animals were the monkeys!! The orangutans were just hilarious...they were trying to make us all laugh! One was even rolling around in a bucket! They would come right up the glass and scare me...but then I would laugh like crazy! All the kids loved the monkey's the best...so did mom and dad! The gorilla's were pretty cool too...but too big for me...I prefer the little monkeys!!

We got to swim in the hotel swimming pool and play around the hotel. I especially loved bed time...well, I made sure there really was not a bedtime on this vacation! Since mommy, daddy and I were all in one hotel room I could see that we did not have the same bedtimes and that was just not fair, so I decided to stay up until their bedtime. What they did not know is that I really wanted to sleep in the comfy big bed they were in, so I would wake up every few hours and they would let me lay with them! It was so cool! I wish every night was vacation!

We are going to Florida in a few weeks for a really long vacation...I can' t wait to party!! I will keep you posted!
Love

Update on me!!

I am now 14 1/2 months old and am up to so many new tricks...I am surprising myself with all the fun things I learn and do everyday! I can now put together (and take apart) my blocks! I can do all the actions to the song "if your happy and you know it", I can scribble on my magna doodle..which is so much fun! I can say "nay" like a horsey, and "moo" like a cow. I say up when I want up (and when I want down)! I say "juice", "baba" for bottle, "wa wa" for water. I love to sing the graduation song with mommy and daddy and love to sing "la la la"...I have such a pretty voice! I give lots of hugs and kisses...even on the lips! I no longer have to say "Fa" for Murphy....instead I call her "MUR!". I can say "Elmo" and just love to play with him...he is one of my favorite toys!

I have been really busy sprouting new teeth and they hurt! I have 3 molar's now, but am cutting another right now! I love to sit on the big girl chairs and couches, but have to obey the "sit on your bottom" rule or I get taken off the big girl chair! I get in trouble with trying to play with our plantation shutters...it is just so much fun to move them up and down! I make a really funny "pucker" face that everyone thinks is just hilarious!! I say "uh oh" when I do the pucker face and get an even bigger laugh!! I like to "chill" and sit back and relax with everyone.

I'll keep you posted on all my upcoming tricks!

I love you!
Love,
Kate
