Our little singer

Below are some pictures of Kate this week. At the bottom of the blog is videos of Kate showing off her singing.
Our cat, Annie, is a very good sport with Kate's play ideas.

Kate has discovered that her pink stool is the perfect height to climb up on and turn on/off lights all over the house.

Kate has gotten really good at singing songs...well, for a 22-month old. Her favorite to sing are "ABC", "Happy Birthday", "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", and "Row Row Row Your Boat". I guess she might take after her Gramma and become an amazing singer and performer!

What a cutie!

Below are a few pictures from the other night. Kate decided to play dress-up and chose to wear a bikini top with a long skirt...she looked like a hula dancer. She is just too cute for words!

Water fun

One of Kate's favorite backyard activities is to play with her new sand/water toys. I found a big (and cheap) set of sand/water toys at Costco the other week. Since we don't have sand, we fill up Kate's buckets with water and she proceeds to splash and dunk in the water, soaking herself thoroughly. I wanted to get some good pictures of her getting really soaked, but she was getting a little too cold last night so most of the water stayed in the buckets.

Kate has realized that her playhouse is not just for playing in, but also for climbing on! She looks so grown up!

Singing Cutie

Recently Kate has been trying to sing along with some of her favorite songs. She does a great job belting out the words she knows, even before they are sung. She loves singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, ABC, and several Psalty songs (a kid's Christian group that I grew up with). Tonight I was able to catch some of her singing/dancing on video as she listened to one of her favorite Sesame Street songs on YouTube.

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

This year we decided to get some season passes to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo. On Friday we went for the first time and had a blast. Will had the day off from work so all three of us got to enjoy a wonderful day at the park. The entire day we stayed in the "little kid" section and let Kate decide which rides she wanted to go on. (We figure we can see all of the animals another time.) Kate LOVED all of the rides and decided she wanted to go on them all again and again. We did every ride at least 4 times. Her favorites were the helicopter, carousel and train.
