Getting dressed for the day

This is the first of many posts, so just warning you. While driving back from California, Dave downloaded all the pictures off the camera so we could begin taking more. (I was driving, not him!!)

Katelyn just loves shoes!! Of any kind. Especially if they aren't hers. I think it's because she can put them on by herself.

She loves putting pajamas on, no matter what time of day it is. At least these ones are hers. She usually grabs Kelsey's which are entirely too big, pulls them on over her head and around her stomach, then gets stuck and ends up stepping out of them. Very frustrating for an 18 month old.

Whenever the camera comes out, which hasn't been very often with all the sickness going around, Kelsey jumps in for the shot. I'm trying to get some pictures without Kelsey in them so Katelyn has some of her own, but it doesn't always work. So we have to compromise. Some with Kelsey, some with Katelyn and some together. Kelsey usually ends up doing whatever Katelyn was doing because if I think it's cute enough to get the camera out, then she has to do it as well.

Sunday shoes are among the favorites to slip on and off. But only around the house and not very often.

Suitcases come out and she gets inside. If only that could really work.

I love this girl. She has the cutest smile and lately she's just gone to saying "Cheese" without looking at the camera. But right on cue when I get it out, she runs around the house saying cheese. She's finally figured out how to walk up and down the stairs. Lately she's been crying at the top as Kelsey and I walk down because it's just not fast enough for her to turn around and come down backwards. I've tried to show her, but she just has a fit even more. Then one weekend Dave showed her how to hold onto the railing and walk down and all is right with the world. He can do no wrong in her eyes. And that's how it's supposed to be, I guess!!

Showing off her new talent. Climbing the railing. Not a proud moment for me!! Thanks Kelsey
