Katelynn is 20 months old today. We have a dr appointment for next Wednesday, so we'll see how big she's getting then. Her bottom right canine tooth is just about through the surface. I feel like these four canine teeth are taking forever to come in! Her current favorite foods are still cereal (especially fruit loops) and chicken nuggets, and she's really liked pears lately. She is a non-stop talker and has so many words, I'm sure way over 100 by now. Some of her big words are garbage, hammock, video, and cereal. She uses two-word phrases independently all the time now, and occasionally gets three words strung together, like "more cereal please" or "daddy up please". She loves swimming, playing with other kids, going to parks, petting animals, and driving by the giant blow-up gorilla at the car dealership by our house.

20 Months (Mom, this timely post is for you!)

We are having TWO BOYS!
The boys were very active and not shy at all. They both appear healthy and are measuring right on target. Check back in a few days for photos and names!

Friday
Friday will be a big day around here. Not only does Katelynn turn 20 months, but we also have an ultrasound to find out the genders of the twins! Boy/Boy? Boy/Girl? Girl/Girl? Two stubborn children who won't cooperate with the ultrasound tech? Register your guesses now.

Summer in Montana
We spent the last 2.5 weeks traveling to Montana to see friends and family. When we got home, I had over 340 pictures to download! Here are some of the best that tell of our adventures.
We had a good two days with the Schmitts, including spending some time at the lake.
After Coeur d'Alene, we continued to Helena.
Luckily we got some of this:
Is that my 6-month-old cousin Alivia who is almost as big as me?!?
Katelynn loves playing with 3-year-old cousin Tithen.
Grandma Gale was in town from CA and someone had the bright idea of trying to get 4 kids and 1 adult to smile and look at the camera at the same time.
The Helena carousel is full of animals native to MT. We took at least 3 trip there for a total of more than 10 rides. Katelynn loves it!
Matching outfits AND a photo shoot? We are out of control.
Ivey - 1 yr, Alivia - 6 mo, Katelynn 1.5 yrs, Tithen - 3 yrs.
The wives (our husbands are the brothers) and the girls.
After a trip to Glacier with the FitzGeralds, we got to stop in Sealy Lake and see our friend Ryan and his daughter Lana.
Plus Lisa, my college roommate and good friend, was in town so we got to hang with her and her boys a few times. (Nate, age 3, is below.)
And thanks to the Sheehys, Katelynn has discovered her love of sandboxes.
Grandma Sue, I appreciate all the toys you have for me, but this is even better!
Grandpa Ben and Uncle JT built Katelynn this swing set while we were there. Katelynn decided she was old enough to try out the big kid swing.
It was a busy trip seeing everyone. And our trips are bound to get crazier because next time we are in Montana we'll have three kids!
We started off by driving to Coeur d'Alene for a Schmitt family reunion. It's a long drive for a 1.5-year-old, so of course we had to stop a couple times to play.
