Vaccinated!

Thanks to those darn PIGS I had to get vaccinated for the H1N1 virus….formerly called “swine flu”! Mommy won the mommy of the year award and stood in line with me for 2 ½ hours with thousands of other good mommy’s and daddy’s. The bad news was we were out in the cold about 2 hours of that time….good news is it is all over! We were 600 of the 1800 people that got vaccinated on Halloween morning! It was crazy…a line as far as your eye could see! At one point mommy got nervous because a police officer was coming around and telling every one that the tow trucks were starting to tow cars parked illegally and in certain store parking lots. Luckily we were safe….although mom decided she would rather get towed and pay the $300 to get the car out than to step out of line! I was such a good girl and stayed in my stroller the entire 2 1/2 hours...mommy was SO proud of me!

I am so glad that is all over…EXCEPT, kiddos my age need to get to vaccinations, so it sounds like we will have to do that all over again since doctors offices are not getting the vaccines! YUCK!

My Second Halloween!!

This was my second Halloween and I have to say this is the COOLEST holiday yet! We had so much fun and I got CANDY! Candy cool…I even have a favorite…kit kats! Mmmmm!

Grama, Papa, Grama Vicki, Papa Dick, Aunt Jenny, Uncle Rob Rob and Anna all came over for a big Halloween party at our house. Dad made my great grandpa’s famous chili and we all had so much fun! The neighborhood had a parade we all walked in. We carved pumpkins…and I even helped! I kept telling Daddy it was his turn to get all the guts out, but I liked it too. Then we went trick-or-treating! We would go up to the doors, knock and sometimes I would say “trick or treat”, other times I would just say thank you or try to walk into their house! It was really cool though.

I loved my lambie costume – it was really warm and everyone thought I looked really cute! I can’t wait until next Halloween so I can get more candy…although I have lots left!!!

Love,

I'm a BIG girl!

I’m getting to be a big girl now (I’m not a baby anymore)! I can say many complete sentences and can understand EVERYTHING you say!

I love to dance and sing…right now my favorite CD and movie is Mama Mia!! I just love the sound track and sing it like crazy! My favorite songs are “thank you for the music”, “honey honey” and “money money”! The songs are so great they make me dance!

I really like “The Wiggles”, but my favorite TV show is still “Barney”! U get a big kick out him and know all his shows on our “on demand”.

Now that I am a big girl I just take one long nap (sometimes close to 3 hours long)! And although I am a good sleeper I like to push it off as far away as possible and find lots of reasons not to take a nap or go to bed! My favorites are: “need water”, “see Papa”, “see Daddy”, “watch Barney”, etc….

I love Halloween time and love “Fooky” (spooky) stuff! Some of Grama’s neighbors have really “fooky” decorations in there yard and I love to go see them! I say things like “yucky witch”, but I keep going back for more! I will be sad once Halloween is all over!

Today I had dinner at Grama and Papa’s house and after dinner I told mommy “bathy in Papa’s room”. She and Grama thought that was really funny! Every time we eat dinner at their house I get a bathy there…tonight was no different!

I still love bathies…especially with lots of bubbles! I never want to get out of a bathy!

I visited my very first pumpkin patch with Grama, Papa, Mommy and Daddy last weekend and it was SO fun!! I got to play in a hay stack maze with Grama, go on the slide and swings with Papa, pet little baby chickens with Daddy, pick out my own pumpkins and even meet a camel! I also went on a tractor ride and say a pumpkin launcher that launches big old pumpkins into the air and into the pond! It was neat! I think this was one of the most fun things we’ve done yet and can’t wait to go back next year!

20 month pictures!

Yesterday Mom took the day off work to have a girls day!! We started the day with getting my pictures taken! Mom and Grama took me. Mom had been feeling guilty that she had not yet gotten professional 18 month pics of me. I think after my 1 year pictures when I was not very cooperative...mom was kinda dreading these! They started off a little bumpy as I was not wanting to stay in the picture room...I wanted to play at the Lego table, but I got into it a bit more and started to really like Jason (my photographer). Here are some of the pictures!

Chuck E Cheese!!! Cool!

Mom and Dad surprised me and took me to my first ever trip to Chuck E Cheese! It was so cool! The pizza was so yummy that I ate 1 ½ pieces! They had so many toys and things to play with…I got to go up and down the slide at least 15 times, I rode all sorts of cool things (Barney was even there) and got to see Chuck E myself! I could eat there every night of the week!

When Chuck E came out to see everyone I was so excited and got right in the mix with the big kids! Mom was close by, but when Chuck E singled me out and tried to give me a high five I got a little nervous and had to make sure mom was right by me. Mom gave him a high five for me. Let’s just say I was not ready to go when mom and dad told me it was time! I wonder if they are going to surprise me next week with another trip there?
Love,
Kate
