Just a little update

Here's a picture of Katie Jo with her new favorite toy: the doodle pad. She loves for us to draw the picture she commands and then promptly erase it. It came with cool little magnet shapes which she like to dot the pad with. We've also been using it to count but mostly she just likes to touch each shape while I count them. The other day I was coming down the hall and all I could see were Katie Jo's feet which were in the position like she was asleep. At closer inspection I found her laid out as the below picture shows, not sleeping but talking on the phone! She looked like a teenager laid out on the bean bag talking to one of her friends!
The girl loves Minnie Mouse and I just had to take a couple of shots of her in her favorite hat with her favorite friend.

In other news Katie Jo can blow her nose! What a wonderful skill this truly is. We discovered it a couple of weeks ago when she was congested and going through tissues by the hundreds. I just hope she remembers how the next time she has a runny nose.

And on the talking front Katie Jo has become quite the conversationalist. We no longer found ourselves trying to communicate with her but actually talking to her. She can answers questions with yes or no and seems to have a new word every day. It's exciting! It'll be fun to see what it's like a month from now when she has another person to talk to in the house.
