When I got home last night, this is how I was greeted at the door. As you can tell, Kevin was getting ready to go hunting. Keltie was so proud of the fact that she had Daddy's shirt on. It must have brought him some good luck because she shot a doe. Now the fun of cleaning it tonight. Good times!
Keltie has been very snuggly with Kevin lately. Especially when it gets close to bedtime. They usually are found all snuggled up with blankets laying on the floor. Keltie has now taken it to a new extreme though and wants to lay all by herself on the couch, covered up with blankets. She tries to climb up on the couch by herself, but usually ends up needing a little bit of help. She then points to blankets and says please. You have to make sure that you cover her up with every blanket that she sees, which usually includes her blanket, her taggies and a big blanket from the living room. Then she'll lay back on the pillow and just sit there like she is the princess of the house. Sometimes the blankets are so tall that you have a hard time even noticing that she's there. Sometimes she does let you snuggle with her, but lately she wants to be all by herself. Little Miss Independent!
She even has to hold the remote and point it at the tv. She truly is a little sponge.
Keltie got this toy car from my aunt and uncle when she was younger, but she hasn't been able to play in it since she wasn't big enough. We did try it once and she ended up falling through. This weekend Kevin and I were doing a lot of work in the garage so she was out there with us. One of the neighbors stopped by and Keltie decided she wanted to play in the car. Once she figured out how to open the door, she was on a roll. She was using her feet to push it all around the garage. Of course she even bumped into our vehicles a few times. She did fall through the floor again, but loved riding in it. She had to make sure that all of us were watching her as she scooted around the garage. At times, she looked like she was a lot older than she is. (Not that I want her to grow up any faster than she already is.)
"Are you guys watching me? Mama, you want to move your car?"
This a picture of Keltie with her two favorite second cousins, Michael and Ethan. Keltie is very lucky that she gets to spend a lot of time with them. They usually go camping with us and both of them helped when we made Keltie's playhouse. She was unsure of the two of them when they first arrived at our house, but was instantly drawn to Michael when she saw the Cheetos.
"This my lucky day, two different kinds of Cheetos. Can life get any better?"
Getting ready for bed. Sometimes you just have to sit and cuddle.
Wish us good luck, we're trying no nap at Cathy's today since it's been almost a week since she's wanted to take two naps. We'll see how it goes.
This isn't fun anymore. (She's still so cute even when she's crying!)
Sitting so pretty.
"I am such a big girl."
I'm thinking that she is going through another growing stage. This morning she ate a whole kiwi and half a granola bar. When we got to her babysitter's she was kind of upset. She saw food on the table and asked to eat right away. Yesterday when Kevin brought her home from the babysitter's she sat in the booster seat and ate for 45 minutes straight. For the past two days she has also decided that she doesn't want to take an afternoon nap. She's deciding that it's much more exciting to play than to sleep. Needless to say, she feel asleep lying with Kevin on the couch last night at 7:30. You just don't know what to expect sometimes.
