Katelyn Update

Katelyn 16 months

Katelyn has been growing up so fast. She is a petite little girl with big smiles. She is our entertainment most days. Troy and Liam love to make her laugh and I love to just watch her explore. She is very happy most of the time but pretty clingy and will not let anyone else hold her. I guess she does okay when we leave her with babysitters, but I'm dreading the introduction of nursery.

I love that she loves us so much though. We can not get enough of her, to say the least.

Katelyn has been a huge daddy's girl. Constantly following him and grabbing his leg. She has learned that if she holds his leg, he can't go very far. He has a hard time saying no, so he usually ends up holding her while eating dinner. He finally put his foot down and told her no, and she just cried forever. She doesn't cry very much. She definitely whines, but doesn't really cry. She usually just needs to sleep if she's whining. And then she wakes up like this..

Yay for naps! Katelyn is talking a little bit. She says shoes "shs", mama, dada, uh-oh, and waves. I can't wait for her to start talking more so that she can communicate what she wants. Right now she resorts to going limp and whining on the floor. Not very effective. We've tried signing, like I did with Troy, but she is pretty stubborn and does not want to do it. So, hopefully words will come quickly. 

Katelyn loves to play with her brothers. If they give daddy a high five, she does it too. If they play with balls, she goes and gets her own ball. If they leave their bots out, she goes and plays with them. Haha, she thought she was in trouble when I snuck up behind her.

"Uh-oh." Oh those curls and eyes. Her dainty hands and feet. We are smitten!

Favorite food: chicken pot pie, by a long shot, I think she would eat the entire pie if I let her
Favorite toy: shoes, outside toys
Favorite activities: laughing, walking in circles, playing the piano, going outside
    She also loves to point at you and touch your nose, or smack your head. It's a game the boys think is funny. It was fine, until she smacked another little boy on the head at playgroup and laughed. Woops.
