Uh oh!

Katie and I were in the checkout line at Wal*Mart this evening and Katie kept sneaking glances behind us. :) After a few minutes she said "Mama, there's a kid!" and I told her that it was a boy, not a "kid" haha :)
Anyway, this cute little boy said hi to Katie and she said hi back (while blushing a little bit and hiding behind her hands) :)
He smiled, she giggled, and then he tickled her on the cheek. She giggled LOTS more, and said "You silly boy!" and kept straining to see him while I was putting the bags in the cart.
When we had to leave she said "Bye boy!" and he said bye to her too...once we got out to our car she said "Where's the boy?" so I told her that he had to stay with his Daddy. ;)
We were pulling into our carport when Katie said "Where's the boy?! I gotta show Daddy!" :) :)
HAHA!!! :) Way too young to be bringing boys home to meet Daddy, sister! ;)
I thought all had been forgotten until just a few minutes ago, I was rocking her and reading her bedtime stories when she said "Mama? That boy...he tickled me...so silly!" "Where's the boy? I like him! I gotta tell him nite nite" :)
And then....she whispered "I love you, boy!"
True story. Did I mention that he had to be at least 6 or 7?? She likes older men. :)

What are some favorite internet finds of yours lately? :)

baby*baby :)

Here are some *much* overdue pictures of Katie and Colin from the past month-ish! :)
We have been so busy that I haven't taken nearly as many as I'd like...especially of Katie, because I can't take them of her late at night when things settle down like I can with Colin. ;) He doesn't mind if I'm snapping pictures of him after 11 at night :)
They are both growing SO fast, it's hard to believe that she's almost 2 1/2 and he's three months old now!
Here are some new things in Katie's world..
*She is loving when I break out her flash cards. And she's doing such a great job with them! I have a set that's for ages 4-6 and she got 50 our of 53 right the first time ever! So proud of her :) She's been mentioning "school" quite a bit lately, so I've been working with her on pre-school books that we have thanks to Aunt Jessica :)

*Every single night Katie wants me to read three books while I'm rocking her to sleep (yep, I still rock her to sleep. :) I didn't want to make her give that up after Colin was born..it's my time just with her and I think we both treasure that) :) we always read The Going to Bed Book, and a WonderPets and Blues Clues night time book :) Kevin can't help but laugh when he's in the room and Katie has decided on a random book that she'd rather read instead. I always make up and ending, because normally it will be saying something like "The frong jumped over the rock to play!" and I add "and then he lays down, and he goes night nightttt" haha :)

*She has been keeping an eye on her toes, and when the polish starts to wear off she says "pink, Mama! Paint them!" :)

*She is still doing an absolutely wonderful job of being a big sister :) She's always helping with him, and keeps him entertained when I have my hands full :)
She has even named one of her tiniest baby dolls Colin, and I've caught her "nursing" that baby a few times :)

*She has decided that when she's in the bathtub, she's a mermaid :) She giggled for a long time last night when I said "Come over here, little mermaid! Let me wash your hair" :) Or she'll say "I'm a mermaid! I gotta swim" :) :)

And here are some new things with Colin..

*First of all, he is sleeping through the night!!!!!!!!!!! Yay!! I can not tell you how happy that makes me. :) He started at 11 weeks old and has been going strong, except for a few exceptions. I love that he is such an easy baby, so completely sweet and perfect :)

*He weighs 17 lbs now! :) I love that. He has the cutest squishy cheeks and legs :)
He actually weighs over half of what Katie does :)
(My Mom said that I make buttermilk. haha)

*He's starting to play a lot more. We have a toy bar on his swing that he'll kick at, and I love to watch him. He'll raise one eyebrow and I can tell that he's concentrating so hard! :)

*He's starting to talk a lot to us :) My favorite..I love when I first come home from work and pick him up and he looks at me and starts smiling and cooing :)

*He still only cries if he's needing something..can I say again what a sweet little boy he is? :) :)
