22 Months!

It's hard to believe our little lady is going to be a big 2 in only two short months! Time seems to really be flying these days, and I'm doing my best to keep up.

This past month we celebrated Easter, with egg dying (by parents), a visit by Nana, and an egg hunt at church (her first, but very successful).
K is becoming more and more of a little girl, and less and less of a baby. She is rejecting the high chair and has discovered sitting on her knees in a "big" chair. She loves to talk, and has an opinion on just about everything. She's easily distractable, and eats slower than molasses (payback for my childhood, I'm sure). Recently she's become adamant about climbing the ladders like the big kids do at the playground, and though I tried to deter her, it was to no avail, and we now have a rather confident climber, who proudly declares "I climb!" She loves the cats now, and surprisingly Rosco at least has warmed up to her a bit, allowing her to give him her signature squeezing hugs (perhaps he knows she just wants to show affection). She still weighs the same as ever, but is slowly gaining height, and can reach more than I realize. Now that the weather has suddenly turned very warm, we try to get to the park more often, but this last week it's been too hot in the afternoon, and she's suddenly very apt to get heat rash, so we have to brave the heat in moderation.

(The outfit in the first image was completely chosen by her. She definitely has ideas on fashion.)
