Dot Markers

Kate had some fun with her Dot Markers this week. She is loving me pulling out things she hasn't played with in months!

And I had some fun playing with my camera...

I love that Kate loves a "project," as she calls them!

Conversations with Kate

Me: Kate, what was your bible story at church today?

Kate: 2 men got baptized

Me: oh, when John baptized Jesus?

Kate: Yea, what was your bible story Mommy?

Me: we learned when we make bad choices, God forgives us. He gives us grace...

Kate (interrupting): oh, Grace is in my class at church.

Bryn is 15 months old. I feel like she has changed so much in the past 3 months. First, she is walking everywhere. She rarely crawls anymore. Second, her vocabulary has taken off. She talks all the time, and not just babbling. She says words. You can tell she has picked most of them up from hearing Kate talk all day long. She says "Belle" (Kate loves Beauty and the Beast and got a Belle doll for Christmas), Elmo, cookie, cracker, milk, water, sit, block, stairs, no-no-no,etc. She also says the phrase, "there you go" but she says it more like one word "theryago." She says it when she wants something. She will hold out her hand and say "theryago" wanting you to give her food or a toy. At night, before we put her to bed she asks for a "gook." She loves books just like Kate. She is still a cuddler, especially before naps and bedtime. She loves to give hugs and kisses. When she wants a kiss she leans in and says, "mmmm." She is a feisty little thing. She can hold her own with Kate. She may or may not have a bad habit of biting when she is not getting her way. We are working on that. She loves Bailey or "Bay-yee" as she calls her. And she is a Daddy's girl! She says Daddy all day long and gets so excited when he comes home from work. She also loves all things Kate...including her boots!

We love you Sweet Bryn! Happy 15 months!

Legos

Kate got her first box of Lego's for Christmas...from Cooper (who loves Lego's)! It has been her favorite thing and mostly what she wants to play with. We've made the picture on the box probably 100 times. The other day, she took the box and went in Bryn's room so she could play by herself. (We have nicknamed Bryn the Lego Massacre because she loves to tear down all construction progress...which doesn't go over well with Kate.) I went to check on her and found this. She made a table with food and chairs for the boy and girl all by herself.
