I am a walking zombie...

I only got about 6 1/2 hours of broken up sleep because Catherine is getting another tooth in. She woke up in the night and then was up by 7am. We headed out to Winters so Zac could do the career day booth which he really enjoyed doing. We just hung out all day with everyone and that was really a lot of fun. Catherine was a bit fussy with that tooth though. I felt so bad for her because on top of that she has a horrible diaper rash. The poor girl just catch seem to catch a break.

When we got home I fed her some dinner then she was just "doodle doodle doing" around talking to herself and her toys. I bathed both dogs and as I was drying off Sniper John she got herself into the tub even though I had just gotten her into a clean diaper and pjs for bed. Apparently she felt SHE deserved a bath too. I cleaned her up, got her into a new diaper, and pjs. I then needed a shower and I put her in her exersaucer.

It is obvious that she had WAY to much sugar in Winters (they love to spoil her) because she was up till almost 10:30pm. Yeah I will have to start saying NO, NO, NO, to them from now on. I am to tired to deal with that much energy that late at night. My house looks like a tornado! I found her passed out cold in that exersaucer after my shower. I put her right to bed and she snuggled up with elmo and kept on sleeping.

Catherine stepped up the curb from the street all by herself the other day. She is also starting to walk really fast and even attempts to run for a couple of steps. She is getting REALLY fast so you really have to watch her. I can't take my eyes off her for a second if we are outside. She is also really starting to talk to me about everything. I can only understand a few words here and there but at least she is really starting to express herself with something other than a temper tantrum. We still get a lot of temper tantrums but when I stick to my guns eventually she realizes its not going to go her way and she will start talking to me.

On a side note I started reading that Twilight book everyone is so darn crazy about these days. I am not far enough into it to know if its really worth all the hype yet. I will have to keep on reading I suppose! Well off to bed...

What a nice day

Catherine is currently sleeping... She woke up a bit early today and I could tell she would take an early nap. We played outside for a bit this morning because I had some stuff to put in the mail. She loves to push her puppy stuffed animal around in her stroller. The stroller is a doll stroller just her size and she is highly obsessed with it. In her mind anything that she can push around is the best thing EVER. She will attempt to push her high chair and any size stroller she comes into contact with.

We are working on how to say hello and how to wave. She figured it out fairly quickly. I am going to start with how you wave to say hello and say bye bye to leave. She loves to wave and say bye bye! She also does the hand motions that I have made up for twinkle twinkle little star! She also comes up to me and claps if she wants me to sing if you are happy and you know it. She is a big fan of Jesus Loves me which I sing to her before bed each night.

Catherine literally cracks me up on a hourly basis. She is a truly a bizarre child. I claim that she gets that from her father but part of me knows its a nice mixture from both sides. I think I enjoy her more now that she is walking and starting to talk. I just feel like there is more of a back and forth now that she is older. I seem to worry about her a little bit less. (just a little bit) Well lets pray that this day continues to be wonderful! God sure did bless us with amazing weather today!
