Dear Kacie,
As you know, we spend a lot of time sitting at our door looking outside. One day my boss, Ray, was here and he was just cleaning things up and wandering around the property. He was so sweet and took you around with him. He has a lot of grandkids of his own but his youngest is 6 now so he was having just as much fun as you! And it wasn't bad that I got a few minutes of break.
Back in September Grandma Sandra sent this purse and you would occasionally play with it but now that you've figured out zippers, you LOVE it. You put your chap stick and lotion and a book in it. And then you wear it around your neck like this:
You still enjoy being read to a lot. But you also enjoy reading to yourself. The past few days you will point to the chair and say 'sit' and then sit there with a few books and read to yourself.
When your brother is born, there won't be a lot of room for your stuff in the diaper bag anymore so for church, we decided to put your entertainment in your backpack and you loved it!
So we Skyped with both our families one Sunday. You are just full of silly things. While we were Skypeing , apa and Graham you were standing on your stool at the door. All the sudden, you started falling off the stool backwards! You were doing a trust fall with yourself! It was a little terrifying to watch you just fall back and land on the floor. What if I hadn't been there to catch you! But it was also hilarious, and I just love your spunky personality!
When we Skyped with Grandma Tracey and Grandpa G, you were in the bath. Grandma Tracey loves to play 'find the body part' with you. So she says 'where's your nose? where's your ears?' etc. This point I came in the bathroom so she was asking you where the baby is. You were pointing to your belly saying 'baby.' So Grandma Tracey said "No, the baby isn't in your tummy" And you pointed to your nose and said 'nose' and then leaned and pointed to her nose on the screen and said 'beep beep!' I guess when you heard 'tummy' you thought she was playing the game!
At the end of each week, we pick up all your toys and move the furniture and vacuum. I would do it more often but it's not as easy when I'm pregnant. Anyway, you get really excited when dad gets out the vacuum and always try to help. You vacuumed a good 3 feet one day! And then it got heavy and you just kept saying 'help. help. help.'
And then you tried to put the cord back on by yourself.
And then you gave up and decided to sit on it instead!
Back in January when we were at my parents, my dad made this delicious smoothie for breakfast. It settles pretty good with baby Kalvin so I got the recipe and make it all the time. Recently, you've started enjoying it too. I always drink mine from those plastic double layer cups with the straws that can't come out. I found a small one at Target that is the perfect size for you. I know it's silly but it is adorable to me that you love these smoothies and watching you drink it from a mini version of my cup just makes it even cuter!!
We went and hung out with Dez and Gus one day. I am trying to find cheap/free things to do during the day because I am getting nervous for your brothers arrival. We will probably be seeing a lot of Gus the next few weeks!
You two are funny together and it's great for Dez and I to let you two entertain yourselves a little.
We tried to get one of you both smiling and saying 'cheese' but you kept looking around or looking and smiling at each other. So cute!
And then on the way home you fell asleep. It's wonderful when you wear yourself down and sleep really good! You still do that thing where you pinch the back of your left hand when you are tired or nervous. You were doing that when you fell asleep in the car.
You still love spaghetti. One night you started eating it like this for some reason
I found this idea on Pinterest to make fake makeup for kids. I don't own any eyeshadow or blush but when we were at my parents in January, you sat on grandma's lap and put makeup on with her. So I decided to make you some of your own and you love it! You carried it around all morning. You also wandered around without your shirt on for a while...
But then I made you get dressed so we could leave! You were so cute because you packed your makeup and your play phone in your purse and then put your purse on like a necklace and took it with us. Then you just contently sat there for several minutes with your purse on your lap!
I love how big and smart and girly you are becoming. I am hoping that you start to wear dresses and play dress up soon because that will be fun and adorable!
We love you so much!
Mom and Dad
