Victoria's 18 month check up

Victoria had her 18 month check up today. She has only gained one pound and is 19lbs even. Dr. G says he is not worried about her, as the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. She is doing well, overall. We just need to work on her speaking. She is very vocal, but not very verbal :-). She usually grunts or screams and points at what she wants :-). Her receptive language is great, it's just her expressive we need to work on.

She is into everything! If it is not tied down, she is on it! None of my other children are climbers, but she makes up for them in spades :-). We cannot leave any chairs out, or she will be standing on top of the table in two shakes! She still enjoys taking a shower with Katharine, and is walking really well, even running! She is such a joy, but very opinionated. I love her little spontaneous displays of affection, when she comes over and hugs and kisses me :-). She, however, does not appreciate it so much from her siblings :-). Oh, she is also "dancing". So funny! However, she all ready has more rhythm than her father :-)

Katharine's Pinocchio performance

Katharine's Musical Arts Schoolhouse had their production of Pinocchio this morning! Katharine was a fairy. She was uber cute and did so well in the theatre portion of the show. She did well during the dance portion until the little boy bedside her starting crying. Then she pretty much stopped what she was doing and looked at him like, "what's the matter with you?" Overall, she really enjoyed it and was really excited that even Aunt Stephanie came to see her!

I am so proud of her! There was very little "stank eye" :-). It makes me a little sad because she will not be attending this school next year. We decided to put her in Legacy with her brothers. If she doesn't attend Legacy next year, she will have to be tested. I know she won't do well being tested with a stranger. I foresee a whole lot of "stank eye" :-) We will have to investigate other performance avenues for her. Overall, great performance from a girl named for Katharine Hepburn :-).

Girls Just Want to Have Fun and Kitty Litter

Last week, Katharine and I went to the mall. We went to Hallmark to get a card, and she decided she wanted to get her own card for her upcoming birthday. She chose a sweet 16 card that plays, "girls just want to have fun". She and Victoria open the card and dance all over the house to this song! Victoria does this squat dance, it's so funny! Very cute!

A little while later, I'm looking for Victoria and find her in the laundry room grabbing hand fulls of kitty litter, and throwing it and some kitty poop in the air! So gross! None of my others were ever interested in the kitty litter! Nasty, Victoria! Good grief! Though she is a cute dancer! :-)

Mommy, you look Hot!!

Oh my goodness! I took Kaden and Colin to the mall with me to run some errands. At one point, I took them potty, and Colin said that he really liked my boots. That they were pretty. Kaden then said, "Yeah Mommy. You look Hot!" Oh my goodness! Jason needs to stop saying that! I don't want Kaden to go to school and tell some little girl that she is hot! Good grief :-)
