Overdue Update

Silly picture!

I think it is past due to update you all on Lena Kate and what she is up to.

The girl is a jabberbox these days and stringing all kinds of words together. Here are some of her favorite phrases.

Ce Now - cereal now - corrected to cereal please! She got the "now" from me, in the last few days I've even heard, "right now"...um, nope we need to work on that one!

Coming Doggie-she says this to Missy when she is scratching on the door to come in, copying me again

Daddy coming-Daddy is coming home!

Going/coming too- Lena Kate loves to say too...me too, coming too, going too, etc.

Go Mimi's house now - go figure.

Cute-Mommy cute, Kate cute, etc.

read story book

Woo eee, Mommy, Daddy, Mi - translates to Love you Mommy, Daddy or Missy

Sorry - she says sorry for reasons I don't even know.

Strawberry cake - she likes her Strawberry Shortcake movies and says it surprisingly well.

Lena Kate will repeat just about anything if she is in the mood. She chops alot of her words but I can understand most everything.

She is such a busy little girl and in to everything. Climb is another of her favorite words! She likes Nick Jr. and her movies, but I try to limit them some. Outside is still where she loves to be. She is a picky eater these days and sticks to "kid-type food" hot dogs, chicken nuggets, spaghettios, mac n cheese. She will eat green beans and raw carrots and broccoli. We are working in this, but it is HARD! If she doesn't want it, she will NOT eat it. I'm so thankful that LK is a good sleeper, she takes a good nap every afternoon and goes to bed at 8 pm without a fight at all and sleeps until 6:30 or 7am.

At almost 2 she is a size 18 months for bottoms, and 24 mos or 2T tops and size 5 shoes. I don't know her weight but would guess less than 25...maybe 24ish pounds at the most. She seems to be average height, but just a small build, which isn't surprising, Mimi has to take in some of her pants so the don't fall off but are long enough.

Sitting still in church is not possible yet, we struggle through the first 10 minutes before the littles go to nursery. Maybe one day she will sit still and then go entertain us with Patti for children's time. Right now she knows she gets to go play with toys soon so she won't go down for children's time.

Lena Kate also loves to take her shoes and socks off and declare her stinkies free.

We are having tons of fun and she keeps us on our toes and laughing all the time. What a personality our little girl is developing.

LOVE YA BABY GIRL!
