Oh my it's been a while. I'm sure I've forgotten most of the amazing things that Kat has done in the last month, and there have been many! She unfortunately doesn't care to take naps anymore, she thinks she's the boss of this house, she speaks like a 5 year old, and sings. What else? Oh she wears panties during the day and usually goes without accidents.
The other day it rained and then there was a gorgeous rainbow. She said, "It's far, far away isn't it Mommy?" I said yes it is. She said, "Let's go find it Mommy!" Little sweetheart. I asked her how much I loved her, expecting her to reach her arms as far as they would go and say "thiiiiiiis much!" Instead she smiled and said "with all your heart". Well, she's right.
She was making me angry the other day (Probably from not taking a nap) and I told her that she was making me angry. She says "I don't make you angry Mommy, I make you happy".
Also I've been very sick with this pregnancy, so when I gag or say I feel sick, she runs and gets me sparkling water, which she calls "sprinkle water". She holds my hand and say "I'm helping you Mommy! I'm helping you!" The down side of that is that she always says "my tummy not feel too good. I need medicine." or "my bottom is red. I need atemeal (oatmeal) bath". She always has some sort of ailment and she usually knows just what she needs for it... be it tylenol, tums, etc. Usually she's right, too, about which fix goes with what problem.
When Hubby is feeling especially jack assey he says "bah!" Kat doesn't like it apparently because she tells him now, "don't say that daddy! That not nice!" Everything she disapproves of is "not nice" to her now.
When she asks for something and you tell her no, she says, "Just two?" I still say no and she says, "OK, 1 then". She is her own little thinker and doesn't like being told what to do. Oh well, life sucks sometimes! She is bossy and we're working her helping her to understand that Mommy and Daddy are the boss, not Kat. It's coming along, slow but sure.
I had a chocolate bar the other day and she picked it up and said, "I need this!" I told her that is was Mommy's and she said, "well I'll share it with you". She's a smart one!

hodge podge
Geez, it's been over a month since I wrote last, and I'm so far behind. A lot has happened in this last month!
Kat speaks in full, comprehensive sentences now. You can have full conversations with her that make perfect sense. Today while watching "Dora The Explorer" there were two trains in the same tunnel and she said, "there's another train in the tunnel." just as plain as that.
Kat can sing her ABC's almost all the way through. She skips the LMNOP part but she gets up to QRSTUV YZ. She's so close! She also counts from 1 to about 16... then she says 20, 21, 22.... She's a smarty artie.
She can also sing the happy birthday song and rock a bye baby. She loves to mother her little babies that Santa brought her. She says, "oh my poor baby!" and rocks the baby and give her a bottle or a paci. Then she'll say, "my baby is cold, she needs a blanket".
When we hug her we say, "give me the best hugs ever!" So now she'll just put her hand on your shoulder and say "BIG HUGS!" and when you hug her she says "best hugs ever!" They certainly are. I love those hugs.
We found out the day after Christmas that baby number 2 is on the way come September. Kat seems to understand this. She'll say, "Mommy have a baby in her tummy. She'll come out soon". Then she says she has a baby in her tummy, too. Very cute.
After Christmas everyone took down the Christmas lights, which were a total obsession for her the whole month of December. She would say, "more lights Mama!" or, "Look Mama! There's lights". When they came down we had to explain that lights go up at Christmas time and then we have to take them down, but they'll be back next year. So now when she has to leave somewhere, she says "I'll be back next year". She was also VERY into snowmen, she loved them. She could spot a snowman a mile away.
She grasped the concept of Santa this year. She met Santa twice and he gave her a bag full of coins for her piggy bank and a baby doll. If you ask her where she got her baby she'll say, "I got her from Santa". If you say, "what else did Santa give you?" She'll say, "he give me... coins. and my baby... and... coins". Amazing what she can remember.
Kat got a new snail to join the fish tank and after some careful consideration, she named him "Boo Boo". We suggested tons of names for her, but she chose Boo Boo. She's a crazy monkey. She says that they live in the fish tank and that they live in water. She's very smart. I know I've said it before but the kids just keeps on amazing me.
Kat's vocabulary is far advanced to a normal 2 year old. We have a book where she is supposed to find things, and since she mastered that on the first day, we had to start looking further into the pictures. Now she knows what a man hole is!
She also knows where her mandible is and her clavicle.
We are having a set back on the potty. She was in panties for the month of December, but now she says "I don't want to" when asked if she needs to go potty. Either that or "No I NOT GO POTTY!"
Kat isn't taking good naps these days. You tell her it's nap time and she says, "no I not take a nap, I just woke up". She argues about just about everything actually.
She is dressing herself much better! She can definitely undress herself, and now she'll put on her own pull ups and pants. Shirts are still a bit of a challenge, but we only have to help a little.
The other day she grabbed my face and said, "I make you happy Mommy". Man, she does! If you ask her who's bossy, she'll say, "you're bossy!" (When really it's HER that's bossy!)
I know I'm forgetting a whole lot of stuff. Oh, when I go to the bathroom now, she'll look into the toilet and say, "good job, Mommy!" Too bad she won't go too! I wish I would journal more as I remember. A New Year resolution perhaps?

A, B, C D....
Boy it's been a while! I don't even know where I left off. I have a 2 year old! (Well, almost, but she acts like she's 7 already!) Kat poops on the potty every day now, and has been for a little while. She also pees every day, though not all of her pee happens on the potty. She has pee pee accidents once in a while, but not very often. She still wears pull ups at nap time and bed time. During the day though she wears panties! Such a big girl!
She is speaking in full sentences. "Mommy I have a baby kitty!" And then she'll continue on to take care of her baby kitty, sing "rock a bye baby" to him, put him in a blanket, etc. She's very much into mommying her little friends now. She is a very happy, spunky little girl!
Last night she was sitting on the potty before bed time. Hubby and I were both there. She has a terrible habit of trying to grab the toilet paper before it's time. So last night she was being naughty and she grabbed a big handful of toilet paper before I could stop her. I grabbed it away and scolded her for it and ended with, "Do you understand?" She said held up her little hand and her eyes were shining, and she said, "I got a PIECE!" Sure enough, she had a little piece in her hand. Chad could barely contain himself! She's so naughty, but she's so funny too!
Today she announced that she is a snowman. I said, "Oh really? You're a snowman?" She said, "no, I'm me. I'm a Kat". Smart little girl.
If you show her almost any letter, she'll tell you a word that starts with that letter. She knows very well that C is for Cat, A is for Angel, E is for Ear, F is for Froggie, G is for Goat...M is for Milk. These are the ones she always gets. She usually gets all the rest too, except for Q seems to be tricky for her. She is doing so well though. Two years old and starting to spell! She can spell cat. Sometimes if you take away the c and put in a b she knows that it turned into bat. She's just so smart. It's going to be a challenge to keep her challenged!
She loves building towers with blocks and then knocking them down. She loves playing Mommy and house, and she loves to pretend play with her animals in her barn. She knows every zoo animal and what they say. She knows farm animals too, as well as domestic animals. She loves to sing Old Macdonald and say the part of the animal! She loves to sing "how much is that doggy/kitty in the window?" and when it comes to the "woof woof" or "meow meow" part, she does that part.
She can finally do two footed jumps, and she can gallop. Still no summersalts on her own, though she tries. She's my love love.

Little Mommy
Kat can now push her dolly stroller and actually "steer" it. She used to just run into a wall over and over again, but today I noticed that she turns corners, does u-turns, the whole bit. She kisses her "babies" and takes care of them. She tucks them into bed and puts blankies on them. She's a wonderful little momma and I'm so proud of her.

climbing out of the crib
With she side bar down on the crib, Kat can climb both in and out. It wouldn't be such a big deal since the side is never down, but when she gets to the top, she just dives over. Luckily Uncle M and I were on both sides so that she didn't fall. Scary though.

picture
Kat now grabs the digital camera and wants to take pictures by herself. She grab it and say, "PICHURE" and start messing with the dials until she sees an image. She was very excited to take a picture of Brown Bear.
