When mommy puts me down to bed she puts lamby, Bella, Mia and Ducky all at my sides. After she does that she gets two more pacis (I already have 3 pacis from when she rocky rocks me and hums and shh's) and puts them on my chest. She them puts 5 fingers over my face and says..."you have 5 paci's Kate" and then counts all 5 (one in each hand, 2 on my chest and one in my mouth.- unless I like to trick her that night and hide one). I then giggle, mommy says she loves me and we say nigh night.
I almost forgot...I now sleep on a big girl pillow in my crib.
"Good night mommy"
"See ya, goodbye"
"I love you mommy"
All things I say to mommy as she leaves the room after putting me down to bed. Mommy was so excited once I started to tell her these things at bed time.
Love,
Kate

Bed time ritual...
Ever since I was a newborn mommy has performed the same bedtime ritual. She starts by humming "hey passer policeman"...or something like that - mommy does not really know the words right, so she has always hummed it. After humming that for awhile she starts saying "shh...shh...shh" in the same beat over and over again. I love it so much and look forward to the same bedtime ritual. Since she has done it thousands of times I have started humming and shh'ing with her. I love to do it and mommy thinks it is pretty funny. To make mommy really laugh while she starts humming I will tell her to start shh'ing and when she shh'es I tell her to hum....I am hilarious!
Love,
Kate

The most perfect words
Kate usually sends all the blog updates, but this one was so special to mommy that I had to send it. Kate now says all on her own and at surprising moments...
"I love you mommy"
"I love you Daddy"
"I love you...Nama, Papa, Nama Vicki, Papa Dick, Aunt Jenny, Uncle Rob, Aunt Carolyn, Uncle Tom, Uncle Chris, Tom, Meghan, Anna, Murphy, Peanut, Gigi, Gipa, etc"
It is amazing how fast she is growing and how amazing she is.
Love,
Anne (mommy)

Christmas Day!
Have I mentioned I LOVE Christmas?! I do! We got to Grama and Papa’s around 11:00 and had a great big breakfast that Grama made while we waited for everyone else to arrive! I showed Grama and Papa my new baby doll…I was allowed to bring one present with me to their house and I chose my baby doll! They thought she was really neat and we named her “Emily”!
Once everyone got there we snacked and then opened presents…something that I have learned takes a LONG time when you have so many people on the family! It was fun though! Tom and I acted like little elves and helped Papa pass out presents. It was so fun to carry the presents to everyone…especially the really BIG ones!
Once again, I got lots of fun presents…a baby doll that has a paci, a helicopter (yeah!... I asked for that a lot), a garbage truck (just like Tom), my first Cabbage Patch kid, these really cool dolls that have snap on clothes and lots of clothes to change them with, clothes, a dress up kit, and lots of other fun stuff! It was fun to see all Tom’s toys too…he got a really cool HUGE garbage truck – sometimes I really LOVE boys toys!
We had a great dinner of lasagna and Papa let us have some of his Godiva chocolates (yummy)! I got to stay up super late (even after all the other cousins went to bed) because we were not staying the night like everyone else…I was such a good girl too! I love a party and act like the best little girl so no one wants to put me to bed or have me leave before the party is over!
I am sad Christmas is over and my cousins Tom and Meghan and Uncle Tom and Aunt Carolyn had to go home! BUT…I love playing with all my toys and they will all be back in about 1 month! Tom and I are going to have our birthday parties together! It’s going to be Mickey and Minnie Mouse theme! I can’t wait! It is going to be February 6th…mark your calendars!
Love,
Kate

Christmas Morning!
Everyone kept talking about Santa coming and they were right….he came to our house! He even ate the cookies we set out for him the night before and left me a really nice note! I woke up in mommy and daddy’s bed Christmas morning and was so excited when daddy reminded me that Santa came. The first thing I said was “did he eat the cookies”? We were all so excited that we did not even brush our teeth before we went downstairs…I could see from the balcony that Santa did come to our house and that he left me LOTS of toys! Whenever anyone would ask me what I wanted from Santa I would say “toys…a baby doll”! Guess what, he got me the coolest baby doll ever – one that talks, eat, and potties! I got so many things from Santa, mommy and daddy and I love it all! I got a table and chair set for my new playroom, a kitchen, shoes, kitchen food, kitchen pots and pans, dishes and lots of stuff to pretend with, and a big puppy, my very own pillow with my name on it. I got a giant Cinderella doll I love to carry around and dance with and lots of other stuff!
Murphy even got some fun presents I helped her open. I should mention that I love opening presents and I really got a hang of it after my first few! I do like to take breaks between openings though to play with my presents AND I want to open everything out of the boxes! Finally mom and dad had to put a rule that I could only open a few out of the box at a time…there was a lot of stuff everywhere!
Mommy made cinnamon rolls for breakfast and once we were done opening presents, eating and playing some we got ready to spend the day at Grama and Papa house with all the family! We had around 6-8 inches of snow and the roads were not good at all, so daddy had to drive careful...I reminded him of that by saying "careful daddy" and "whoa daddy" whenever I thought he needed a reminder! We got to Grama and Papa's safe!

Christmas Eve!
Grama Vicki, Papa Dick, Uncle Chris, Gigi and Gipa all came to our house for Christmas Eve and I was so excited! This is the first Christmas Eve we have ever had at our house and it turned out to be a lot of fun! The weather was getting bad on Christmas Eve, so I am so glad everyone could make the trip to Kansas City. We ate lots of good food…appetizers (mom made me DIP!!), lasagna, Papa’s famous Caesar salad and bread and lots of good desserts (pies and cheesecake)!
Present time…Gigi and Gipa (my Great Grandma and Great Grandpa) got me lots of fun stuff…a baby doll and stroller, a really cool pretend fish tank that looks like it has real fishies in it, a mickey mouse doll and some other fun stuff! We opened their presents early so they could get driving back to Pittsburg before the blizzard came! Luckily, they got home safely….thank you for everything Gigi and Gipa! I love you!
Uncle Chris got me a leap frog learning system with books that go along with it, a pretty dress and some tights…you will not believe it, but a really nice lady (Aunt Molly) who works with Uncle Chris even sent me a present straight from NYC! She sent me the cutest Baby Gap outfit that is so soft and comfy! Thank you Aunt Molly…hopefully I will meet her one day!
Grama Vicki and Papa Dick got me too many presents to name…a baby doll thay goes in the bathy that I love (she even pees), lots of fun stuff to play with my babies, a pink fort, an easel and lots of coloring stuff, a table and chairs (that I helped Papa Dick put together), a microwave and lots of kitchen stuff, a medical kit and lots of clothes!! WOW….am I spoiled or what???
Since I got so many presents, mommy and daddy decided to turn the office/guest room into an office/playroom! I will have to show you pictures later, but it is so cool!! Daddy, Papa Dick and Uncle Chris all carried out the bedroom stuff to get my room all ready…YIPPEE!
The baby doll Grama and Papa got me that goes in the bathtub has a hole in its bottom – I was so excited to see this that I ran to the bathroom and got out my thermometer and put it on the babies bottom to take its temp…everyone thought that was really funny. I just wanted to make sure the baby was not sick!
Thank you everyone for such a FUN Christmas Eve and for all the presents. I love you all and can not wait until the next get together!
Love,
Kate
