Long Over Due

Well, It's about time I updated this thing...The summer was pretty good, Kaitlyn loved being outside every chance she got. We went to Colorado in June to see James' Aunt and Uncle, Kaitlyn did alright, but it was a long drive both ways! I don't want to do that again. The visit there was really good and was able to see his aunt and uncle. Katie even let the uncle hold her a little bit, I was amazed because she doesn't like other people holding her. Halloween was really fun this year with Katie she was a bumblebee and a very cute one! She would want to grab the candy after it was being put into her Halloween bucket. Thanksgiving was alright, the food was yummy!

Now, Christmas is approaching, we set up the Christmas tree and put some decorations up. It is going to be a fun Christmas for Kaitlyn this year, right now she will say Santa Clause when she sees it on TV or Newspaper. She says Christmas Tree Big Tall. She got right into putting the decorations up on the tree when we started putting them up. She will say Snowman, we have this blown up Snowman that she wants us to plug in so she can see it inflate.

Kaitlyn is really talking a lot more and she knows how to say all of her ABC's except for W and she has been counting to 5 lately, she is getting to be smart. Right now, I am working with her on the potty training.

Well, that's a wrap for now.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

Update

It's been like three months since I updated...Well, things are going good with us. James is getting busy with people wanting their swamp coolers running. He is still working at ARUP and Northwest. I am doing things around the house, taking care of Kaitlyn. She is getting smart, she now knows how to turn on the DVD player with the remote. Last night, she was calling James' work on the phone because she wanted to talk to James. When I tell her where your eyes, she will point to them, same for ears, hands, toes, belly button, head, she knows sounds of some animals, like Horse, Duck, Cow, Dog, Cat, Monkey. I am starting to work with her a little on her ABC's. She loves to be outside! so when the weather is really warm, we let her play outside. She really loves Otter Pops, she would say Ah Bop if she wants one.

James and I just celebrated our 6th Anniversary last Friday. We went to dinner and it was very yummy! Time sure flies when you are doing your daily activities and think wow, we have been together that long. We took Kaitlyn to the zoo last saturday, it was the perfect day to go. She waved at the animals, we went on the Carasoul(like a merry go around) three times...She really loved it! She is just growing everyday and I am amazed and how smart she is getting. Well, hopefully soon we will be serious with the potty training, I am hoping that she will learn pretty quick.

Well, that's it for now.

Update

Hi, It's been two months since I have posted anything... Well, Christmas was good...Kaitlyn got quite a bit of stuff, she opened at least two presents but that was it! Anyways...It was a good christmas for all of us. New Years was okay...James had to work so It was just me and the baby home...I got to watch the ball drop.

Kaitlyn loves looking out of the windows and she has watched the snow fall, she has tried to say snow when seeing the snow fall. I can't wait until the weather warms up so she can go outside to play, she really loves being outside.

One thing that happened is we got rid of Isabelle or Izzy our dog last Saturday(Feb. 7th) The reason we got rid of her is because James and I didn't have time for her anymore. James is way busy working two jobs, taking a math class, trying to do maintenance work around the townhomes. He barely has time to be with family. I am busy trying to do housework and take care of Kaitlyn. There are others reasons why we got rid of her is we don't have a big enough yard for the dog, I am afraid that one day out of the blue she might bite Kaitlyn and I don't want her to go through what I went through. I have been bitten by a dog, the dog that bit me was a good dog for my parents and they never thought that in a million years that the dog wouldn't hurt me, but guess what it did...they got rid of the dog after it bit me. I don't want Kaitlyn to be scarred for life. James always said "she won't bite" I kept telling him you never know. I got tired of the hair being everywhere on our clothes, floor. Now since we don't have her anymore, Kaitlyn can go play in the backyard and not have to worry about dog poop being everywhere. So there is a lot of good that came out of this.

Kaitlyn can climb on her high chair now! She started doing it yesterday, when I was eating some chicken for lunch, Kaitlyn was already done with her lunch I had her down from her high chair. I was eating then I turned around and saw her standing up on her high chair. She is quite the dare devil wants to climb on everything. She said "Bubbles" when she was having her bath yesterday she actually said the word.

Kaitlyn and I have been sick all week with a cold so hopefully we can get better soon! Kaitlyn got sick I think with the stomach flu last month so hopefully after this cold we won't get sick for awhile.

Well, that's about it for now. I better post more often!
