Funny things Kit has done recently

We play this game called "here comes a mousie" in which I chant that as I tickle up her leg, and once I get to her stomach I cry "mousie, mousie, mousie!" as I tickle her. Well, she decided this was an appropriate and fun game. So we play it a lot. The other day she decided to play with daddy. So as he's sitting on the couch, she starts tickling up his leg going "here comes a Mickey" Well, I guess she's got the whole Mickey Mouse thing. Then just this night I was downstairs and Kit was upstairs with her dad. Well, we have this giant stuffed animal gorilla she loves to wrestle with. That gorilla was on the bed... I heard a roar, scream, thump, (pause) cry. So I hurry upstairs to see what happened. I guess the gorilla was on the edge of the bed, and Kit took a flying leap at it to tackle it to the bed, but she misjudged the edge of the bed, and they both went flying off. After the consoling, I asked her if she "bonked," trying to find out if she had hit her head, and where, etc. Well, she nodded that she had bonked and I as I asked her where, she pointed over to the edge of the bed where she fell off. She grabbed my hand and took me over there, and climbed up on the bed. Well, Brent was laying on the bed and I kneeling next to it. I guess she was going to show me how she bonked, because she got up behind Brent and said "like this!" while jumping at/over Brent towards me. Well, now I know how she bonked. The irony is that she was showing me how she bonked while both of us were explaining that this was the reason why we tell her not to jump on our bed. -"like this!" yup, jumping like that was just how you fell off the bed. this time daddy caught you while the gorilla didn't. Yea, Yea, Yea, I'll get pictures in sometime, when I feel like fighting my computer to download them.

Pregnant

I was talking to my neighbor about the differences in pregnancies between her's and mine. I decided that I'm am just bred to have babies. (no, not a lot of them I'm just good at what I do). I don't get morning sickness, I don't have that many problems (don't ask Brent though. I guess I just don't realize how nutso I get). So yea, I just kinda sail through the pregnancy. YAY! Like, I have 3.5 months left, and meh, I feel huge, and I get moody, but that's it. Although my ski jacket not zipping around the bulge is annoying, especially if Brent gets to his jacket before I can put it on. :) I can get Kit to say "Hi baby brother" to by belly. But everytime I do she looks at me quizzicaly and asks "Baby?" I just laugh and tell her that she'll see. I don't think she'll really understand until the slimy thing starts intuding on her domain. ;)

About Time

Ok, So, I was perusing the blogs I keep track of, and saw that one hadn't been updated since Halloween. Then I saw mine was still back in JULY!!! wow! Ok, I have excuses (who doesn't) but we had to get a new hard-drive and my camera download info is on the old one, and I don't know where the CD is for the install, and I practically have to redownload the entire camera every time I try to download pictures. It takes a while, and I hate having to reorganize and such my pictures. Plus I always feel weird writing about myself. I don't really know why, but everytime I think of something to post, I don't want to sound like I'm whining, or being all me, me, MEEE!!!! I know that's what blogs are for, but I don't know I have to be in a mood, and since Tristan is not only twisting my guts, but my hormones as well, I'm not in the mood to blog. Tristian? That's the little mutant I'm going to give birth to in April.

This is my title.

A lot has happened recently. I am constantly asounded at Kit's growth and learning. She said her first sentence the other day. "Mom, want please juice." Close enough right? and she got the please, so grammar and syntax can be beaten in later. We've been enjoying our backyard and fence. It's great to be able to let the kid and dog out and not have to worry about chasing either one of them. Brent made it pretty much from scratch. including digging the holes by hand (shovel too). He did a great job too.

Kit loves playing in the water. In fact, she used to throw a fit when we told her we weren't going to fill up the kiddie pool. Now she just drags the pool over to the faucet and tries to turn it on. She also Likes to play with Comet, and lhe likes playing in water too, so here's a video of the buds.

She wants to do everything we do. From sitting the same way to facial expressions to what we say or do. She's even mimicing her movies. She tries to stand like Lilo and stuff it's pretty funny. She also now sings when she "plays" the piano. It's too cute! I'll have to record it sometime.

Kit did a complete summersault last night. Then she did a lot of rolling around, tumbling, and falling off the couch, but she was loving it. I was going to get the camera, but she was about done by the time I thought of it and then she would have gotten distracted by my leaving the room. Here's a video of her previous attempts to summersault.

Has it been so long?

What!! I have a 2 year old?! When did that happen? Oh yeah, yesterday. She's getting so big. We had a fun party with the Biggs, Stocks, and the Carter's girl Kodi & her grandma. They had fun playing in the water. The BBQed pork was pull-apart delicious. The corn was great and the cake looked as funky as last year, but tasted better with Brittany's Buttercream Frosting recipe. Yum Yum! I make finger paints for the kids to decorate my sliding-glass door like we did when I was young. Kit & Calvin both had a taste of it, neither were impressed, but they liked coloring, but the water was more appealing for the kids.

Lilo & Stitch

Kit now has a favorite movie.

We have watched Lilo & Stitch everyday for the past four days. We have tried princess movies, animal movies, and pretty much any family movie (and some Brent & me movies) and this is the only one that hold her attention. Granted it's only for about 15-20 minutes, but compared to the 5 minutes she gives anything else that's pretty good. She now actually says Stitch, but it sounds more like a swear word than the real thing, but she is usually pointing to the picture or one of our Stitch stuffed animals. I guess it shouldn't suprise me that it's her favorite movie. We have 7 Stitch likenesses in our house, so he's everywhere. Kit also thinks Lilo is a baby, so she wants to look at the baby too. I guess she could have picked something I didn't like, so I got lucky there. It's nice. I put on the movie downstairs and she watches just long enough for me to get a load of dishes done. Then we pause it and do something else. Then when Kit has a need to watch a movie I tow her back and push play again.

Glasses

Here are some pictures of Kit in her glasses.

Kit took the shoes off her doll and is trying to put them on.

She got them in the beginning of February, and we broke them for the first time last night.
