The Box

Of course, just as much fun as the new car is the new box. In this series of photos, it was almost nap time, hence the pacifier. The lack of clothes is just the newest thing in toddlers these days. At least she keeps her diaper on. Most of the time. "Kate night night"
"Hi Mama"

Kate's car

Kate got a car from Grandma for her birthday. Originally she was thinking about a tricycle, but Kate really seemed in between sizes - so ended up with the red car instead.

Putting it together only required a moderate amount of swearing. And distracting a very helpful daughter with a bath to get her out of the way for a while. Her feet stick out the bottom, so she can push herself along.
Also come equiped with a horn, cup holder, and the every popular keys.
And a nice little door, so she can get in and out by herself.





Mommy's Sweatshirt

I brough home things from my classroom for the summer, including my UP sweatshirt, which I kept around school for the quick temperature changes one has in the portables. Kate wanted to try it on. For about 2 minutes. Pretty long for her, really.

For the generations

Doesn't Kate look great in this dress? It's one I wore as a kid. Made by either my mom or my grandma. (Can someone help with the details here?)


2 candles

Kate loved the candles. Specifically, having us blow them out, and then relighting them. Again. And again. And again.


Ymmmm. Brownie is delicious.




Sharing with mommy

I asked Kate if I could have a bite of her brownie.

"Nooo."

Finally she shared a piece. Can you see it between my fingers?
She did, however, declare that she was "All Done" before finishing the brownie. Hmmm. Do you think Mommy took a few bites of her left-overs?

2 year self portraits

Our darling Kate turned 2 yesterday. Today she got an A+ from her pediatrician at her appointment. 29 pounds. 34 inches. 75th percentile in each.

Kate is enjoying her birthday brownie. And just generally being a cute 2 year old.
