only a few months left.....

...until we can be sitting outside doing this again.




I can't wait!

More Labor Day fun....

:


We were also able to get out to my parents house over Labor Day weekend and pulled out the old go-cart....I'm not real sure who had the most fun!?!?!

It went way to fast....

We had a GREAT Labor Day weekend! It went way to fast for us though. We had great weather so we finally got a day in at the lake. Probably our first and last for the season. We spend the entire day there on Saturday and had a great time. Khloe LOVED driving the boat. Yes, I said driving. She wouldn't have it any other way. I just wanted to get a few pictures up tonight. There will be lots more to come.

Time to ride

We have been wanting to get Khloe some kind of little motorized vehicle to ride for quite some time. We made a trip to the store the other day and came across a little four-wheeler. There was a display one in the store so Khloe just hopped right on and started taking off down the aisle. So needless to say one got put in our cart for her. She loves it. I just wish it had a little more power so she could ride on the lawn. Maybe we will have to upgrade to the barbie jeep next year!

Daycare has been going ok. Khloe doesn't seem to mind it once she is there and I'm gone. It is the hand off that doesn't go so good. The sitter says that she loves the music and books part of the day...which doesn't suprise us. She is quite the little dancer.

She has also started going potty in the potty chair! Only now she has wised up and realized that if she sits on the potty we will read to her. Which means she asks to go potty about every 10 minutes. I think I could read "If you give a pig a pancake" and "Big Bird visits the Dodos" in my sleep. We need to find some new favorites.

We have all been fighting colds and Khloe is getting more teeth. So this weekend is all about resting. In fact Khloe has been asleep for about 3 hours now....I think that is a record lately!

Changes

Ohhh where to begin....

This last month has flown by. There have been a few changes around our house. First and foremost Khloe is getting so much bigger every day. She seems to just keep growing. Along with that comes more vocabulary. She has definitely learned and now understands the word "NO." She likes to use it a lot now. If she wasn't so cute the way she says it we would probably be having more problems. Sometimes I have to turn my head so she doesn't see me smiling!

As you can tell from the pictures she is loving sweet corn. Which has now come to an end. She has also been working hard on "swimming" in her bathtub. She likes to put her ears, eyes, nose, and mouth (drinks a little too) in the water now. It sometimes can be a fight to get her out. Usually the water gets drained out and Khloe is still laying in the tub hoping for more.

Books have become the favorite around our house. "If you give a pig a pancake" gets read at least 10 times a day. I think there is another one called "If you give a mouse a cookie." I think I need to go hunt that down so we can get a little variety!

Our babysitter that we have had since Khloe was born is leaving for college tomorrow! :( We will miss you Jessica!!!!! Khloe has had so much fun with her and loved going out to her house and seeing all of the kittys, puppies, cows, chickens and sheep.

Tomorrow is the start of daycare....I wonder who will cry more?!?! I'll let you know!

Ice Cream

Usually every Sunday we go get some sherbet ice cream. In the past few weeks that we have been doing this, Miss Independent has decided that she needs to hold her own ice cream cone. Since sharing mine with her means passing it back and forth between the two of us and therefore melting a lot faster, we decided to get a very small strawberry sherbet cone just for her this time. She was sooooo happy! She just sat in her chair beside us and licked away. She did a pretty good job and didn't get too much ice cream on herself. We are hoping for Raspberry this weekend!
