"Poop hurts"

My tummy hurt me for about 3 days as I had trouble pooping!! Daddy bought me prune juice to help and I really liked it (although mommy would not let me walk around the house carrying the bright purple juice in my sippy cup)!
I even told Grama yesterday that "poop hurt" while holding my side and felt so yucky that I laid on her green couch and watched Barney while Grama rubbed my belly...for 45 minutes! Good news though...I pooped and now feel wonderful!!

Love,
Kate

The park and dinner with Papa Dick!

Mommy, Daddy, Papa and I went to a new park today and went on the swings and down the slide! It was so much fun...I can swing FOREVER!! After the park we went to SPIN pizza for dinner. I had so many snacks earlier and it was so early that I was not hungry...BUT, I had lots of fun with Papa!!
Love,

My FIRST hair cut...I mean bang trim!!

Today I had my very first haircut! Mom and Dad took me to this kiddie hair cutting place where I got to sit in a cool car and a lady came with a sharp pair of scissors to cut off my hair! Mom told her we were there for a "bang trim" and that my curls did not need to be cut off as I am a girl and my hair can get really long!! Right now the curls are so tight that my hair looks pretty short though! Mom and Dad hope I have the curls forever. I really like them too...I point to them and say "curls"! I love it that people say I have pretty hair!!

After the haircut (that lasted 3 minutes) that mom and dad said was very expensive ($7.95 + tip for 3 snips of a scissor) they gave me a bright red lollipop! It was my first sucker ever and it was SO good!

It sounds like mom watched how they cut my bangs, so I may not be going back there for awhile...I sure hope mom does not mess my hair up!

Cheese dip and golfing!!

So...as you may know, I love cheese dip JUST like my daddy (although I make a little bit more of a mess with it then he does). The below pictures are from Jalapenos Friday night. I love the dip so much that sometimes I don't even use chips...I just use my hand! haha!!

Although I am similar to daddy in my love of Mexican food, I am like my mommy when it comes to athletic ability. I would much rather do the cheering than the playing. See below pictures of daddy trying to teach me to golf...I really do not care to learn sports. I will leave that up to my cousin Tom! I would rather dance and play and sing all day long...lalalalalalalala!!

Sha na na na...at 6:25am

I woke up really early yesterday and really happy! My mom and dad woke up hearing me sing "Sha na na na, sha na na na, hey hey hey goodbye" through the monitor! They thought it was hilarious!! I was singing to lamby...I just love lamby!
Love,

18 months OLD!!

Yesterday I celebrated turning 18 months! Mom and dad keep saying they can not believe how big I have gotten so fast and how much fun they have with me! The only bad part of turning a BIG milestone like 18 months is that mom is going to make me go to the photo studio in the next week or so to get my picture taken! YUCK!

Love,
Kate

Poop on the POTTY!!

I am very excited to say....I went poop on the potty for the first time this evening! Mom and Dad made such a big deal of it too....what they maybe do not know is that I was about to poop my pants and mom really just took my diaper off in the nick of time! She really scared me though and I cried a little bit...BUT I was really excited when she showed me what I did! We even sang the "potty song"

We then emptied it in the mommy and daddy potty and I got to flush it all away! I think mom and dad think this may be something we do every time I have to poop...I am not sure about that, but it was sure cool!

I was awarded some "Cheetos" for this BIG accomplishment!! Mom said that she is going to stock up M&Ms and I get those when I go poop in the potty!! Sounds good to me!

Needless to say...mom and dad were too excited and crazy to get any pictures of the BIG event....THANK GOODNESS (sometimes they get carried away)!

Love,
Kate

Go Chiefs!

I went to my second Chiefs home football game last night! Before the game we all tailgated at Grama and Papa Fimmen's house! Papa used his BIG NEW smoker for the 1st time and made some really yummy food! Aunt Jenny, Uncle Rob Rob ( I have been calling him "Rob Rob" lately!), both my Grama and Papa's, Mommy, Daddy and me were all there!

I must admit I do not really remember my first Chiefs game last year and I was kinda scared at all the cheering and the very loud noises! The music was really loud and so were the fireworks! They made me cry! I did like KC Wolf though and giggled when he came out and did his little skit on the field! I was pretty happy when the rain came REALLY hard and Daddy said it was time to go! We all ran to the car to try to beat the rain! It was fun!!

I heard mom and dad say this was my last game this year...hmm, wonder what they will do with me???
Love,
Kate

Chillin' with Daddy!

Here are some pics of daddy and me chillin'! The other day he was teasing me with my paci and I said "Come on!" It made Grama Vicki and Papa Dick laugh!!!
Love,
Kate

"YIPS!"

I am obsessed with "Yip stick" and beg for it from everyone! Every time we are in the car I say "purse...yips" to mommy to try to get her to let me put on her lip gloss....BUT by MYSELF! When I was a baby it was okay for her to dab some on my lips, but now that I am a BIG girl I can do it all by myself!!! I really love mommy's "yips" because it tastes really good and minty!

In Grama Fimmen's new house she has a vanity in her bathroom with a chair. She keeps all her "yip sticks" in the drawer at the vanity and she lets me sit at the chair and play with the "yips" for as long as I like...sometimes almost 45 minutes!!!

I can't wait until I am big enough to buy my own "yip stick" and carry it in my purse! Here are some pictures with me with my "yip stick" in my room!! I like to have it open and I carry the lid in one hand and the yip stick in the other!!

Love,
Kate

PICTURES!

Okay, mom felt guilty for not posting any pictures this week SO she just downloaded and here they are!!

Grama F, Aunt Jenny, mommy and I all went shopping at Town Center on Grama's birthday (after we took her out to lunch with Papa at Spin Pizza). I fell in love with these crazy bird rain boots and just HAD to try them on! For some crazy reason mom would not buy them for me!


Here is a picture from Grama F's Bday party!!! I helped her open presents!


Here I am Saturday afternoon when mom and dad set up the ball sprinkler
in the yard and we got to play in it, eat popsicles and blow bubbles!! It was SO fun!

Update...

It seems as if I am learning and doing so many new things everyday that it is hard to keep everyone updated on all the new stuff!!

I now talk like crazy and repeat everything and can say MANY words!! I am just guessing, but I think I understand and speak about 75+ word in the right context! My new favorite word is "Teetos" (Cheetos) and I beg for them all the time. I take mom or dads hand and ask them to "walk" with me....I take them to the pantry and proclaim "teetos". I get really mad when they tell me I can not have any or that they are "all gone".

I understand everything people say and listen to everything....even when they think I am not paying attention! The things I learn!!!! People have to start remembering I am a big girl and that I will repeat EVERYTHING YOU SAY!!! The other day I called someone a "sucker" because I heard mom say it! She was embarrassed!

I still love lamby...my favorite toy in the world...I have to sleep with it and now insist we take it to Grama's every day. If we every forget to bring him home that will be very bad! I am also still obsessed with paci and love to sleep with at least 3 of them "more pacis"!

I love the Beach Boys song "Barbara Ann" and the song "Sha na na na, Sha na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye" and request we go to youtube.com to listen and watch it all the time! I also really like the song "ba ba black sheep", so it gets confusing when I try to tell everyone which "ba ba" song I want them to sing for me.

I love all kinds of fruit, but am still a bit picky about what main courses I will eat (mac n cheese, pizza, chicken and hot dogs are my favorite). I still refuse to drink milk no matter how mom and dad try to disguise it (they think calling milk with chocolate in it "chocolate moo moo"...who do they think they are kidding...it is still gross old MILK and I will not touch it)! I am obsessed will all things yummy and filled with sugar...it is amazing how I can spot candy and sweets from a mile away!

Mom and dad set out a training potty on each floor and I love to sit on them and sing the potty song, but have not yet actually gone potty in the potty. I will say "poop" and then poop my pants, so I know when I have to go....I am just not yet ready to go in the potty!

I am wearing size 18 months and can not wait to get to wear all the fun fall clothes mommy has been buying me!! I even got really cool brown leather riding boots that are super cool! Mom wants to go out and get me some fun skirts and tights to go with them....maybe even a cute denim skirt! How much fun. She has been checking out this website called "etsy.com" where people sell all kinds of handmade stuff! Mom is amazed at the fun stuff for kids (clothes, bows, purses, art work, etc) and some great prices! She says it is like going to the junior league holiday mart via your computer. Grama Vicki, you should check it out...you would love it!

Our next big task is deciding what I will be for Halloween! I can not wait to find the perfect costume! I am trying to decide between being a lamby of being a monkey this year....hmm!!

Well, I will update you all again soon. Hopefully with pictures next time!
Love,
Kate

HOT!!

This weekend was so HOT that we tried to spend it inside or around water!!! So, yesterday I played with a really cool sprinkler ball Grama Vicki got me and today we got ready really early and went to the pool!!

Mom has not downloaded our pictures yet, but she will soon and you can see how cool the sprinkler ball is!!! Daddy tricked me and told me to go up to the ball and give it a hug....when I did he turned the water on and I got all wet!!! I was a little mad at first, but then thought it was hilarious!! I made mom and dad get all wet too and run around and around the sprinkler ball!! We blew bubbles, ate popsicles and I got to drink some orange soda...it was so much fun!

This morning we went to the pool by 8:45 am to avoid the really hot day!! It was so fun because we were the only one's there! I got to play everywhere! Mommy and daddy think it is so funny because if you ask me what I do at the pool I say "sit" because I love to sit in the water and make mommy sit right next to me!

Hopefully next week is another hot one so we can play with water all weekend long too!
Love,
Kate

Grama and Papa's new house!!

Grama and Papa moved into a new and very big and pretty house! I just love it! It has the coolest backyard and I have my very own floor!! That is right, the upstairs is just for me (and my cousins)! They have a loft where all Grama's preschool stuff is and I get to play like I am in school. It is so cool! Papa made sure I had the biggest TV in the world in that room and I get to watch Barney and Fifi all the time on it!!

I have been a good girl and have helped Grama unpack and point out the mess!!

I can't wait until they are all unpacked and we can play all over the house! I am so lucky Grama and Papa lives back in Kansas and that they will NEVER move again!!! YIPPEE!
Love,
Kate
