PAAARRR-TAY!!!!

This past weekend, Kaitlin went to the birthday party of one of her sweet little friends at the Little Gym.  Kaitlin hadn’t been here before and she had such a good time.  At first, she did pretty well with the whole “Take Instructions & Wait” thing …

At some point though, she became impatient and just went WILD running all over the place.  She wasn’t a big fan of waiting her turn and at one point, I looked up and she was on this balance beam BY HERSELF WITHOUT HELP!!!  Scared me to death … but the girl does have some balance! 

The picture below is pretty blurry but she got an idea for a new game at the party too … TUNNEL!!!

It didn’t take long for her to knock out on Saturday night after all the fun & festivities.

Now, when she gets up from her nap, I can hear her in her crib exclaiming, “PAARR-TAY!!!”

I guess she’s just trying to dress the part now.  What a fun little girl!

Little Reader

Kaitlin’s bed time routine is the same every night.  She takes a bath; reads some books; prays with her Daddy; then its time for “night night.”  Last night, she was really excited about reading and jumped in her chair before either of us could catch her.  To our surprise, she started to read on her own!  Here’s Kaitlin reading The Going to Bed Book.

Ka-Chow!

My sweet girly girl has a new love… Cars!!

We love the movies and love all the action cars.

Kaitlin wanted her picture made with “Happy Car”! We need to work on on our posing… she said cheese and then ran to approve the picture on the OTHER side of the camera. She loved it.

Posing with Purple car

It is so interesting to watch Kaitlin crash the cars together and make them bang into each other. The very next minute she is rocking them to sleep and making them go night night.

We are playing cars a lot in our house these days. She is going to LOVE having a brother that she can play cars with someday.

Our favorite car “Happy Car”.

Racing cars is so much fun.

The girl LOVES to race!!
