First...Katie is exactly 2 1/2 today, 3/11! She is getting to be such a big girl. I hate to say she is TOTALLY potty trained (don't want any jinxes), but she is about as close as it comes. She is about 99% with #1 and has gotten really good with #2 in the potty. In the last week alone she has really made her Mommy and Daddy proud! She is also talking so much and is so clear...we love having little conversations with her. Her imagination is crazy and she loves to cook us food in her kitchen, pretend to play with her Barbies and loves her baby dolls. Her all time faves are dancing, singing, drawing, swinging and reading books. She loves to sing along to the normal kid songs, and we even caught her singing along to Pat Green- Wave on Wave on the radio the other morning...it was so cute! There is just too much to put on the blog...I wish I could record it all for everyone to see and hear...but we are just a tad bit biased, I suppose! Her room will be done in the next week or so and we will be sure to post pictures and updates as to how the transition works out. Keep your fingers crossed that it goes well!
Here's a picture of our 2.5 year old...big girl!
And, now to Brooklyn's update...I am now 25 weeks along (or so) and things are going great. We saw Dr. Rowe today and he couldn't be happier with how this pregnancy is coming along. She is a big girl who is an overachiever and a drama queen...what else could you ask for?!?!?! She is measuring on the larger side of the scale...yippee! She has also already started practicing the breathing process. Dr. Rowe says that babies don't usually start this until about 30 weeks...so she is way ahead of the curve. This is great...just in case she decides to make an early entrance like her big sis. She actually was doing a really great job with her practices...and had the professionals pretty impressed. She is pretty cute and was smiling and opening and closing her mouth...it looked like she was talking. She also kept putting her hands up in front of her face...I am sure she was telling us to leave her alone. We are excited that things are going well...her heart is looking great, her stomach is looking good and she has long legs and toes (from her Daddy, no doubt!)
Here's the first belly pic of this pregnancy. Yes...there is only one baby in there (I HATE that question)!
And, here are some new pics of the big girl...you will have to click on it to get them bigger. The first is of her hand...she is waving "HI!"...the second is of her semi-smiling face!
Till next time!
Gringo kept Katie busy with bubbles...another one of her favorite things!
Here's Katie with some of her parade loot...
And, all bundled up for the yucky, cold parade. I made her a really cute t-shirt...too bad you can't see it!

Sweet girl...she played for about 15 minutes and then came in shivering...so cute!
Done with the work...time to swing!
Ok...the guys really did most of the work. Thanks to my uncles, my Daddy and my Gaga for helping assemble my new toy. Mommy is excited to have something to keep me busy!
Thank you to our friends, the Parkins, for being so generous and giving us this awesome swing set! It will get many, many hours of use in the months to come...come on Springtime!
