A few days ago, Katelynn spoke her first sentence! At least, I am counting it as a sentence. She said "KK sit at table." In general, she is getting much better at stating full thoughts - or at least giving me commands. 
As a follow-up to my last post on kid labels, I received mine in the mail a couple of days ago. They are really cute, however I was disappointed to find they are the same material as the others I received as a gift. I guess I pictured "vinyl" as being thicker and stickier, but I guess vinyl has improved in recent years. So, they don't tear and they do hold up great in the dishwasher but are easily peeled off by little two year old hands. If you do plan to order some, I would recommend small or large size - especially if you want to put your name and/or phone number on them. 
On August 1st, I walked into Garden Ridge to look for a storage container. As I loaded Katelynn into the cart, I glanced to the right...
Katelynn now has her own words for things, and sometimes I have no idea where she picked them up! I have a hunch that some of them came from her Nanna (like "hiney"). I'm sure others come from her time with my friend Dottie, who babysits for her about once a week, or Elmo's World, her beloved TV show. What has been most interesting to me is not so much her ability to learn new words, but the application of those words to new and different situations.
All my movie posts seem to be "Movies to Skip." Chalk it up to my pickiness or just a major slump in Hollywood filmmaking - not sure which.
Katelynn still loves her Little Tykes car that we got her for Christmas. She drives it around the house and outside. She pushes her friends in it, and lets them push her. But her favorite thing to do is to store beloved objects inside it, re-arrange them, and push it around all full of stuff.
