Spring Break, Montana Style

Fancy Katelynn

One of my coworkers recently spent a couple weeks in Indonesia visiting family, and she returned with this dress as a gift for Katelynn. She liked it until she tripped and bonked her head. :)

15 Months

Yesterday Katelynn turned 15 months old. Her 8th tooth came in this month, and her two bottom molars are on their way. She has giant puffy spots where they will be, and she is definitely showing us some crankiness today! I think she is nearing 21 lbs, but we don't have a check-up for another month to find out for sure. She continues to LOVE books, especially the baby sign language book she got from Grama Sue for Christmas. She can sign more, please, water, eat, all done, dog, cat, night night, bottle, mama, dada, book, and diaper. As far as talking goes, she is saying dada, mama, bottle (bawbaw), Uncle bud (bu, which is JT's nickname), dog (gawgaw), and no. She loves to go to our playgroup 2-3 times a month, and enjoys having other kids over to play. A social butterfly for sure!

Happy St Patrick's Day

With a name like Katelynn FitzGerald, how could you not celebrate today?!

First Zoo Trip

For my birthday a couple of weeks ago, I got a zoo membership! I love zoos and I'm very excited to take Katelynn a lot this summer. We went for the first time March 1st, and though 1 1/2 hrs is about all a 14 month old can spend in there at a time, I think she enjoyed it.

The Giraffe

The Lion who was very noisy

They have a great indoor playground for kids.

At first she was afraid to crawl through.
She warmed up eventually.

Sign Language

Katelynn is slowly but surely learning a few verbal words (mama, dada, bottle, dog), but she is really doing good with sign language. She knows more, all done, please, bottle, diaper, water, and eat. Her motions might not be exactly like ASL, but she's close!

Body Parts

Katelynn has been learning her body parts! She knows belly button, ear, nose, hair, tongue, feet, hands, and sometimes eyes. Here's a sample...
