20 months and "All Done"

Katherine is 20 months. She just started saying "all done". And she loves to say it! It is quite cute. And it is a new step in putting words together. Her first time putting two words together was last week at church "No Dada". Walk, nine and purple are some of her new words. I am working on teaching her colors. She is also becoming an echo and a mimic. When I start to sweep or vacuum she has to get out her broom, mop, bucket, and vacuum so she can too. She loves to say "oh no" when she think something has gone wrong or something dropped. It is funny because sometimes it is for no reason. She is getting good at puzzles - the peg ones she can do alone. We have taught her well because when she sees Bucky, a "W", Packers, or football she claps and says "go" very loud. Our children are definitely a product of a Wisconsin Badger alum. We took she and Emma to the first Badger game of the season. It was fun. The girls both did quite well. The best photos from that day were posted in September - on our anniversary post. She is a pure energizer bunny. She has enough strength to push doors open now at restaurants and stores. She puts both hands on the door has her legs back and pushes with all her might.She has had 2 sleepovers this month - one with friends of ours and one with grandparents. She did great with both of them - no separation anxiety with this one. She continues to go to swim class with me but does not always enjoy it. She wants to do her own thing in the water not necessarily what they want her to do. She likes dolls, cars, Elmo, animals especially dogs and cats, books, and starting to like to "color" like her big sister. She likes to do whatever Emma is doing. Going to bed is comical for Daddy and I because Katherine loves to talk, sing, yell, cry sometimes and talk some more. I think I had a dream this morning that I went in her room and she was standing at the door waiting which would mean she climbed out of her crib. Hopefully this does not happen anytime soon but our little monkey is quite adventurous and as someone put it the other day she has "no fear".

A rare moment - Katherine sitting still with Daddy


Showing Daddy how the vacuum works...


These were taken after a morning run - she did not wish to take off her hat. Winter hat and spring pajamas - good combination, huh? Mornings are becoming colder.
