Surprise!

Cousins or siblings?

I was looking back at this picture I took Thanksgiving weekend and think it's funny the resemblance between MK and Wyatt in this picture.

Look at those sweet smiles!

Entertainment

Lately, we've been having alot of fun with these...

You can open the lid, take them all out, examine them, put them in your mouth, throw them, take them one by one to another place, but one thing they never seem to do is...

go back into their box. Amazingly, we aren't missing one yet!

If you're wondering about the title of the post, you'll have to ask MK. She insisted on typing it. I think it means something along the lines of it's time for you to get off the computer and play with me. I haven't updated much on her blog lately, so here's a quick update on MK. We still aren't walking, but I think we are getting closer. She's climbing up on boxes, tables, and my lap. Climbing up the stairs is also a lot of fun. She's also exploring ways to get attention. These including flailing of arms and legs on floor in a fit of frustration, grunting, throwing down any objects I give her, and of course screaming. You can see some of this personality in the pictures. She's learned several words--many of them probably only identifiable by me. Despite some of descriptions being on the negative side, she really is alot of fun right now!

This was a pose in the middle of straining to get up the couch to get her hands on the camera.

She's getting closer to her goal, but does stop for a quick grin.

Not sure what she's thinking on this one.

Okay...no more poses...I really want up where you are.
What if I add a little fake whine to my efforts?

Can I get some help?

Everything seems normal from the front....

Then you see the back, and you're thinking, "That's a pretty cute ponytail."
Then comes the side view....HELP!!...What do you do with a mullet?

Here's an even better side view.

Any advice?

Play Date

Mary Katherine had her friend Cate over this morning to play. I love watching MK play with other kids her age. I see more of MK's personality come out. And let's just say this morning it was confirmed again of her outgoing, dominant personality.

MK loves to squint smile for the camera. It's quite the grin!

They're just enjoying some time with the remotes.

MK giving a little back rub, while Cate watches TV. We like to really cater to our guest!

More of Houston

I somehow managed to take a lot of pictures of Mary Katherine and the dogs, but failed to get her with Aunt Holly and Uncle Brian. Next time we'll definitely want some pictures with them. She loves them!
She sometimes like to pose for the camera.

On Sunday, the boys watched MK while I got to go to a baby shower for Holly and baby Julia.

And to end our trip, we flew back to Tulsa to see the first day of my nephew Levi's life. I'm waiting for Kizzy to post pictures first. What's taking her so long? What else does she have to do? :)
