Katelin had her 3 year check-up today. She's doing well. 31# and 37.25" (54% & 57%).
Dr Goff also said she talks like a 4 or 5 year old :). We knew she had a great vocabulary but it is nice to know that it wasn't just us being biased!

Day 118 - 4/28/11
Today was a long day! Left for work around 6:40a. Worked until about 1:30p and then headed to Arlington or the Rangers game. My work ha an offsite there this afternoon. The game started at 1 but we had to finish up some stuff before we could go.
We watched the Rangers lose (boo) and then it was if to Addison for the MetroMoms Best & Highest event. I drew 82 (out of 109) in the raffle so I didn't have too many choices. I ended up getting another portable highchair and the swag seen in the picture.
I got home a little after 9:30 (after stopping to get the kids some milk) and then it was back to work until 12:30a. Yuck!

Day 117 - 4/27/11
Happy 3rd Birthday Katelin!
She got some DVDs, a Cabbage Patch Kid Doll, and Roller Skates from us. The CPK actually came from a friend who collected them. She had a bunch of them NIB and was giving them away! This one was from 1985!
Katelin loved it all, especially her skates!

Day 107 - 4/17/11
What a day!!!! Katelin's birthday party was today so of course, I was in a frantic mode all weekend. I was really trying to get everything done with minimal help from my parents this time. I sent Katelin over to their house after her nap on Saturday and my mom came over to help make her (famous) tuna macaroni salad but other than that, I thought we could handle it. I got up Sunday morning to finish cleaning the house. Chris got the kids' breakfast and was going to take them outside so they could swing (and so he could get some work done out there). That is where the "excitement" started... Chris did his inhaler (he's had some respiratory issues since the end of last year) and the next thing I know, he has fallen onto the tile floor! Back of his head first. Evidently, he passed out for a moment after doing the inhaler. He hit his head pretty hard and busted it open a little. I got him a bag of frozen blueberries (where were the peas???) pretty quick but he already had a golf-ball sized lump on the back of his head! I got him a gauze pad and then a real ice pack. He called his mom to take him to the ER to make sure everything was okay and I called my parents to watch the kids. We had no clue how soon they'd see him, when he'd be back, if he'd make it back in time for the party.... it was a little added stress that I didn't really need to deal with!
At the ER, they got Chris in right away and ran a bunch of tests. Everything seemed fine. Seems that light-headed-ness is common with Advair. They told him to continue taking it but to do so sitting down from now on. He got home a little before noon.. just as I was pretty much wrapping up all the stuff that had to get done. We got all cleaned up and I was putting the last touches on the food when the guests started arriving. Just in time :)
We had a crazy house full of people.... lots of kids (I think we ended up with 16 kids and about 28 adults) but it was worth it to see Katelin so happy. She loved having her "friends" over!
We changed up our usual "party" menu... this time we had pulled pork, brats, hot dogs, tuna mac salad, fruit salad, beans & cornbread, chips & queso, and then cake. The cake wasn't perfect but it looked good. Katelin picked out the butterfly plates (over the princess plates!) so I got the Wilton butterfly cake pan and went to work. I tried to mimic one of the butterflies on the plate. The colors were a little more vibrant than I wanted but it was close.
Katelin is standing up to the counter on the AWESOME "learning tower" that my parents built. It is an adjustable platform that she can stand on safely to help out at the counter. She usually stands on a chair but I'm always worried that she'll fall off or tip the chair over (and she almost did once!). This is the "real" one.. http://www.littlepartners.com/products/The-Learning-Tower.html
These are the plans they used to build it.. http://ana-white.com/2010/12/helping-tower.html
Day 106 - 4/16/11
Jen, Scott, & Zoe flew in this morning. Katelin got to meet her newest cousin. She was looking forward to it all week and was very excited when Aunt Jen, Uncle Scott, and Zoe finally arrived! Zoe was not as excited and did a lot of crying when these "strangers" held her. She's so tiny! It is hard to remember Katelin & Drew being so little. There is a big difference between 9 pounds and 20+ pounds!
Katelin wanted to hold Zoe so someone told her that she needed to hold Zoe's head... of course, at just under 3 years old, she doesn't really know what that really means so Katelin put her hand on TOP of Zoe's head. :) Too cute!
