Yesterday, Kaitlyn turned two. I can't believe it. The past two years have just flown by. She is this funny, ornery, stubborn, sweet, and silly little person who lives with us. She has such a big personality! She sings at the table and will randomly, for no reason at all, bust out singing the Bubble Guppies theme song at the top of her lungs (and you know we all think it's cute). She talks a lot and will tell us stories. Most of the time we have no idea what she is saying, but she pauses and says, "Um . . . " while she is talking, she uses her hands as she talks (like we learned in speech class) and she is very expressive. If there is something on her dinner plate she doesn't want to eat she tries, oh so cutely, to give it to Jacob. When she is finished eating she will hand Jacob her plate and Jacob will say, "Thank you," and put her plate away. She covers her head with a blanket and says, "Where's that Kay-Key?" This is her way of saying, "Hey, let's play this game!" We will say, "What was that?" or "Where's Kaitlyn?" She will then giggle, pull the blanket off and shout, "Boo!" She will push people away and say, "No!" and "Stop" if she doesn't want them touching her. She can be the sweetest girl, giving you the biggest hugs and then turning to give you kisses. She'll pat the floor asking you to sit and play with her or run to the recliner, pat it and say, "Sit," when she wants you to sit and watch one of her shows with her. She is my only child who will NOT let me read to her. She gives me a book to look at and she looks at a different book. If I try to read to her she slaps my book and says, "Mama, Stop!" She says so many things and seems to have a new word every day. She also has a huge tantrum and will throw big fits when she is mad or upset. In true girl fashion, she can be moody. *sigh*
She has this beautiful little face that I just can't get enough of--she's cute and she knows it. LOL
She is just so much fun and she keeps us on our toes. We are having a little party with family tomorrow afternoon to celebrate her birthday. She fills my heart with joy each and every day (as do her brothers) and I am so glad she is a part of our family. As Logan often says, "How did we EVER live without her?"
We love you, KK!
