Here's is Katie opening her birthday gift from Darlene and Mikey moo. She heard Mommy say ' I hear something' as she was opening her gift and of course she had to say what Mommy says! She really enjoyed tearing the wrapping paper off this year whereas last year she wanted nothing to do with wrapping paper!

Blowing out the birthday candle on her 2nd birthday cake

Here we are singing happy birthday to Katie at Old Papaw Hess's Farm. It's too cute how she says 'thank you' to everyone and claps

Pappy and Mamaw got Katie her first tricycle and her reaction to opening her gift is too precious!

Here's Katie's gift from Pappy and Mamaw ~ her first tricycle. She wasn't too sure about the pedals ~ probably because they have little bumps that hurt her bare feet. But she found her own way to make it go.

Here's Katie eating her birthday cake and Mommy trying to get her to say it's delicious. After a few trys she says it :)

As you'll see Katie was much more interested in eating the yummy icing than paying attention to her happy birthday song. She didn't really understand the concept of blowing out the candles but with some help from Mommy we got them out eventually.

Pappy and Mamaw got a bubble gun for Katie and she LOVES it! She loves to chase the bubbles and try and catch them. And she makes some pretty cute faces in this clip too. :)

It's too cute when Katie says 'good job' about the fireworks. And if you listen closely you can hear her hands clapping while she tells them 'good job'.

Here Katie is eating a icecream cupcake from Coldstone Creamery. She tells Mommy it's delicious ~ it's so cute how she says it. :)

Another clip of Katie eating an icecream cupcake. She often tells me "I want something to snack on" and she's enjoying her snack here ~ which is obvious.

Katie was supposed to be asleep but instead she's talking and singing about random stuff. I have no clue how everything she's talking about goes together, but it's cute :)

I think she knows I can hear her! Towards the end she says 'Mommy come get Katie bug' ~ it's so hard to not go in and get her when she does that!!!

Katie LOVES to watch the video of Amanda and Sandy swimming ~ it's not unusual for her to watch it 3 or 4 times in a row! In this clip she plays the movie again all by herself and is very proud of herself and tells herself good job and claps.

Just another clip of Katie watching Amanda and Sandy

At Darke County Steam Threshers this year Katie found a straw pile to play in. She was a little unsure of it at first but by the time we left she would get excited about getting to go play in it.

Now this is a video of a true diva! Not only is Grandma Pat pulling her in the wagon but she has a seat in the wagon and she's blowing bubbles. She heard several people call for her Daddy over the week and it was too cute how she hollers "Eric......Eric" just like she heard other people do :)

The little blue cup Katie has is from her little kitchen set ~ she loves to drink from that thing. And she blows bubbles in the pool water very well as you'll hear and see.

This one is cute as Katie shakes her biscuits for the camera. She loves the water and has lots of fun being outside.

Katie loves to be outside and especially likes to play in her pool or sprinkler. She talks about reach and pull ~ something she was taught in swimming lessons and then Grandma Pat comes home in the truck and Katie wants to make sure Grandma sees her.

While camping we bought Katie some sparklers. She didn't really understand to keep them away from her body but she did enjoy them.

While camping in June with Eric's family it was pretty hot and for fun Daddy showed Katie how to talk into the fan. She wasn't too sure 'bout it but later on we caught her doing it all by herself when no one was looking.
