Kaitlyn was a lucky little girl this year. I think we need to buy a bigger house to fit all of her new toys. Here is one of her favorites from her Bopapa! A new bike.
Getting ready to start making cookies. Kaitlyn was very excited to help mommy in the kitchen.
Mommy and Kaitlyn having fun making cookies together. A few hours later we had to keep daddy away from eating all the cookies we made.
Kaitlyn is almost 2 1/2 and has really began to start testing more of her boundaries. This weekend she learned how to climb up her dresser to get to her nukies. She is only allowed her nukies at bedtime or in the car. Nate found her in her bedroom with the door shut a nukie in her mouth and her laying on the ground with 5 more in her hands.
Kaitlyn also started putting herself on time-out. One time I asked her why she was on time-out and she said it was because she wasn't listening. After a couple more times of her putting herself on a time-out we had to tell her she can only go on time-out when mommy and daddy tell her too.
Kaitlyn, Cousin Darren, and Cousin Hailey hanging out at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
Kaitlyn and Nana on my Aunt and Uncles dock. A few days later there was a Snake sunning itself on the dock. Reason # 1 why we don't live in the South - Poisonous snakes.
Explanation of above picture: For some reason Kaitlyn loves to pull down her pants. We aren't sure if it is because we have started the potty training process or because she thinks it is fun. Some people have commented that she learned this from her mother. You be the judge.
She loved playing in the wooden train. We had to had carry her away because she kept running back to it. We finally were able to distract her with going on a hayride and seeing the tractor.
We were so happy that we had a nice day to spend outside and enjoy the little fall we have had.
After we finally convinced her to take her helmet off so she could get dressed we went outside. She must have her daddy's blood because she started showing off on her new bike. I am not familiar with all the trick names, but Nate said they all actual tricks. As a side note... We didn't teach her any of these... she did these on her own. Daddy only showed her where to put her feet on the pedals.
Here is her before she started doing all her "tricks". Nate is a proud daddy. Me on the other hand is a little nervous on her new abilities.
This one is called a "heel-clicker". She demonstrated this one several times during the course of her Tri-cycle riding.
Not sure of the name of this one, but it doesn't look to safe. Good thing she was not moving forward, but I guess you have start somewhere.
Nate called this something, but I don't remember what it is. She has good balance because she didn't go over the handle bars.
I am glad that she enjoys wearing her helmet. I think our next purchase will be full body armor.
On Saturday morning as I was getting her dressed she decided she wanted to add accessories to her outfit. See below:
