Getting Dirty!

Katie usually is very big on cleanliness so much that sometimes I secretly worried about her having OCD! Often when she is eating if her hands get dirty she will look down at them and whine until we clean them off. Yesterday however, Katie saw her older cousin Ellie playing in the dirt and she decided that she could have fun playing too! Below are the results...



It was fun to see her get down and dirty but needless to say afterwords she had an early bath for the night!

Bubbles!

Katie loves baths and bubbles so we got her some blue painting bubbles for the bath and she had a blast with it!! It made the bath water turn blue though so I had to give her two baths one right after the other! oh well she had fun!

Katie has a little bit of hair! yea!

For all of you lucky moms who have children with hair I would ask you to be thankful! My little girl is 15 months old and this is the best that I can do with her hair! :) Oh well one day she will have hair right???

My all American girl!!

I know it might be a little silly but on 9-11 I had Katie dress all Patriotic to show some kind of support to our wonderful country that we live in!

Katie loves to go outside (she asks me to take her "owwside" about every five minutes of everyday!) Because of this we often go to what we fondly call the bear park, because of the bear statue! This is the neatest park (in Fresno) it has it all including ducks and a clean chlorinated little stream for the kids to play in! So I thought it would be fun to show some pictures of Katie "owwside"!

We're BACK!

Okay so Stephen katie and I really haven't been "gone" but we are back as far as blogging is concerned! So below are some recent pictures of Katie being Katie! Now that she is one I feel like I am always running after her! Katie is constantly getting into messes everyday but it is fun to see her explore her world. People have been wondering if Katie is walking yet the answer is no...she is RUNNING! She has been walking for a little over two months now! Again I will post a video of her walking soon! Katie is growing and learning everyday! Katie has quite a few words in her vocabulary now including: I love you or "I you", "outside" and please or "pease".

Katie walking!!

We got back from Mexico and the cruise! It was a lot of fun but I have discovered how thankful I am to be an American! It made celebrating the 4th even better! On Sunday Katie started taking steps! She can only walk from Stephen to me for like five steps but it is still really exciting to see. We have gotten it on tape but it's hard to see her so once we get a good taping of it we will post it!
