Making the sign for "Touchdown!"
Sitting in his new rocking chair
His favorite thing to do--"reading" books
Although he's not walking on his own yet, he's standing by himself for several seconds. And he loves to walk beside me while holding on to one of my hands. He walks behind anything he can push (toys, wagons, strollers, chairs), and lets out a mad cry when he gets stuck. He's also starting to use that mad scream when Kaitlyn takes something away from him...or when he wants more food. And if he sees his beloved bananas, he will immediately start begging/crying/screaming for them. Even when we're in a grocery store. Fun.
Kaitlyn will be three in a few weeks. I have a hard time believing that. She is at such a fun age (well, it's fun most of the time!). She cracks us up with her questions, comments and observations about life. Some funny things she has said lately:
"Be careful, Mommy! Don't go too fast! The policeman is going to pull you over and write you a ticket." [I'm not quite sure where she got that since I have NOT been pulled over lately!]
"Ethan Daniel Krinks, you may NOT throw food on the floor!" [yep, guilty. I say that.]
Her prayer one night: "Thank you for Mommy, Daddy, Kaitlyn, Ethan, Kasha [our dog], Doggie, Teddy Bear. Thank you for the lights and the butterflies up there [on her wall] and the closets and preschool and Megan [our sitter] and the mall [???]." Afterward she asked if God was a boy or a girl.
One day, I saw Kaitlyn gathering up all the loose change she could find around the house. Then she went into the bathroom to put on some of my makeup. When I asked her what she was doing, she said something like, "I have to get ready and get my money so that I can go to the mall and ride the school bus and the truck that looks like Mater and the apple and the car and the merry-go-round." [All coin-operated rides. Despite her obvious fascination with the mall, I promise that we don't go that often. But when we do, it apparently makes a big impression!]
And finally, we've been enjoying the nice weather lately. Here are some pictures from Bicentennial Park.
