At the end of January, Kaitlyn and I went to Utah to visit family and see Kaitlyn's new little cousin Olive. Olive and Shalane had just gotten home from the hospital and she was so tiny and so beautiful! Kaitlyn thought it was cool she had baby toes, other than that she didn't seem to care at all. Somehow I didn't take any pictures with cousins, but I wanted to make sure I didn't forget the fun we had. One of the best moments of the trip was when Kaitlyn and I went over to play with Alta, Ellie and Olive too. We got to run around the couch in circles, play ring around the rosie (Kaitlyn's first time and she was hooked from the beginning), and play with trains and get a little out of control. It was a blast and hopefully I didn't leave the girls too wound up for Shalane when we left. Kaitlyn loved reading with Grandma and Grandpa, especially the Wheels on the Bus Book. She loved it enough that I bought it when I got home.
I went to Deer Valley with my Dad and had a wonderful day skiing.
Kaitlyn had so much fun with Grandma that I was able to have a real
vacation.
Just a cute picture of her eating snacks.
The Stanford student families got a free ice skating day, so we thought it could be good or bad but it was free. They also said you couldn't have kids on the ice without ice skates unless they were in a stroller. So naturally that meant we got her the smallest ice skates they had even though they were 6's and she is in size 3. It took some warming up, but she was having a blast by the end. Also, it was raining on the open half of the ice rink.
Kaitlyn loves when I let her play with the umbrella. She even figured out how to spin it. The only reason I don't let her play with it all day every day is because I still need a functioning umbrella. She has a tendency to bang it in to everything and step on it when it tips. It does make an awesome dancing prop or hiding place though.
Kaitlyn hasn't shown much interest in her bike lately. She loves to walk it around, but as soon as we try to make her straddle it, she is done.
We got a cute valentines outfit from Grandma Brower.
Playing with "swords."
Chasing Dad is one of our favorite before bedtime games. Kaitlyn always gets a little hyper and very energetic before bedtime, she knows if she is cute enough, we might let her keep playing...
Running from Dad.
Kaitlyn is very ticklish, but only if she is in the mood.
Her first Happy Meal!
This was our first Sumo orange of the year and boy are they delicious! Kaitlyn is the only 2 year old who calls oranges Sumos.
I cut my hair. It's not at all what I wanted, but hey, it turned out pretty good and I have fast growing hair.
