Sunny Weekend

This weekend we were so lucky to finally see the sunshine! Eric took the opportunity to go fishing on Saturday so Kallie and I headed to Seattle to watch Sophia play lacrosse and have a play day with Grammy & Papa. We had a great time playing outside and enjoying the sunshine. Kallie loved swinging at the park with her cousins, scooting around on her push bike and throwing rocks in the garden (not sure grammy loved this) but we did it anyway :)

On Sunday we took a trip to Kelsey Creek Park. It was so much fun! There were so many animals to see . . . horses, cows, goats, sheep, chickens, bunnies and lots of ducks. I think Kallie was amazed by them all. She kept pointing to each animal and making the animal noise :) It was a great day and spending it together enjoying the sunshine made it even better.

Did I mention we also made a trip to Toys R Us, we didn't find what we were looking for but daddy decided Kallie needed her own personal swing (someone has daddy wrapped around her finger).

St. Patrick's Day Fun!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Today we woke up to some cold weather. Mixed snow and rain it really hard to get outside and play. We decided to head to the Children's Museum for a bit of fun. There are so many fun activities for the kids. Kallie loves drawing with the chalk, playing with all of the new toys, bouncing on the squishy dog and and just running around. We met the Minnaar family there so she got to play with Coop for a bit too.

Here are a few pictures from our morning adventure (umm we forgot to dress Kallie in green . . . but Eric did say since she really is Irish she doesn't have to wear green!)

Happy 19 Months!

Kallie-
You continue to amaze your daddy and I each day. I swear you are learning a handful of new words every time you come home from daycare. Some of your new favorite words are pig, cow, happy, swing, tree and of course your favorite word continues to be airplane. You are becoming your own little person you know exactly what you want and definitely let us know. If I pull out a shirt you don't want to wear you immediately say no-no-no while frantically shaking your head. The same goes for food although you like to throw your food across the room as you say no . . . Coho thinks it is pretty cool! Speaking of food your current favorites are pears, asparagus, mashed potatoes, tater tots, hot dogs (veggie or beef), oatmeal with raisins and applesauce.

You also love naming off everyone in your family as you point to each of us; mommy, daddy, coho and then you point to yourself smiling when we say Kallie! One highlight I can't forget to mention is that you were able to wear you first ponytail like a big girl versus on top of your head like you had in the past. You were so proud pointing to my ponytail and then pointing to yours. . . such a big moment for all girls :)

I love watching you discover new things. Lately you have been trying to walk up the stairs alone while holding the railing and doing the same thing on the climber at the playground. You always look back at me with a huge smile so proud of yourself.

The last 19 months have been life changing in the most amazing way possible. We brought you into the world knowing we would love you but we had no idea just how much! We love you baby girl...






And the ponytail!

The love for baby grows!

Kallie is still so in love with her baby daddy bought her. She wakes up every morning calling out for baby and goes to bed talking about her. She loves chasing Coho around the house with baby in her stroller laughing hysterically while Coho looks slightly terrified!

These three photos show you exactly how much Kallie loves her baby~
