Katie's Eating!

I gave Katie some zwieback toast today for the first time and she went to town!

Since she started cutting teeth she chews on anything she can get her hands on. She was so excited when I gave her the toast. You can kinda see her teeth in this picture, two in front on the bottom. By the time she was done she had made a fantastic mess. But where's the fun in eating if you can't make a great mess in the process?

Movie Time!

Monday was Jared's day off so we thought we would be brave and try going to a movie. We went to see Wall-E. So supper cute! Go see it if you have the chance, we will definitely be buying it! So it started out well and we went in armed to the teeth! We had a giant bag of M&M's, juice cups, a bottle, extra formula, binkies, and blankets. Unfortunately about 45 minutes in Melody was done. So she and I went out for a minute and walked around. I hoped she would be ready to go back in after a walk cause I really wanted to see the movie! However, when we went back in she started to cry because she didn't want to sit down. We were sitting on the very back row and there were only five or six other people there so I stood at the bottom of the stairs and she walked back and forth between Jared and I. While I was doing all this Jared was trying to keep Katie happy while also trying to see some part of the movie. I think he saw more than I did though so I'm using that as leverage so I get to pick the next movie!:P It was quite an experience and it drove home the fact that we have a two year old. A very opinionated, independent, difficult two year old! I wouldn't have her any other way!

She's Finally Moving!!

I posted a new video in the video bar on the bottom of the page. Katie was trying to get her bottle and everytime she reaches for it, it rolled away. She didn't give up though! She had been working on it for a few minutes before I got to the camera. She is moving alot all of a sudden! It makes mellie really mad because she has to play with ome of her toys at the table so Katie doesn't get them. If she opens her Mr.Potato Head on the floor Katie has a radar that tells her it's down and available for her to play with. She starts wiggling her way across the room. She'll make it about half way before Mellie starts yelling, "NO Katelynn, No!" And she start gathering it all up and put it on the couch. Then she sits on the couch and looks down at Katie and says, "No no no no!" It's too funny!

Reading Time!

Melody got a Mr. Potato Head from Alexis, Denny and Sophie for her birthday today an she's spent as much time wearing the pieces as Mr.Potato Head has! Melody put on these glasses, picked up a book and said, "I'm Reading!" She is too funny!

What a Monkey!

Melody is such a monkey! Her new talent is removing every piece of clothing before I even realize what she's doing. This morning she did just that while I was making her breakfast. I told her I wouldn't give her her toast if she didn't put her shirt back on. I tried to help her, but she insisted on doing it herself! This is as far as she could get it and I figured at least it was back on her body. The 'right' way to wear a shirt is all in your perception anyway isn't it? Also note how she eats her toast. It's almost always gone by the time she's done, she just has to eat the middle first! My little girl definitely does things just the way she wants, I hope she never changes!
