I'm Back!

I'm pretty sure no one has been waiting with bated breath for my return, but I finally feel like my head is above the water enough to resume some sporadic blogging!

::crickets::

Life is busy but good, as much as you'd expect with a 17-month-old in the house! As any good parent would, we, of course, believe that Katelyn is the smartest baby in the universe.  She amazes us with her physical and verbal skills, and I can't help but want to turn back the clock a little and enjoy the baby girl that is quickly growing into a spunky toddler.

Just a few of her words:
mom-mom, dada, dah (dog), ball, key (kitty), moon, chee (cheese), ba-ba (bottle), nie-nie (night-night), mine, shoe, Teh (Tech), Cai (Calliou), sie (outside), Papa (grandpa), Ma (grandma), AnaMana (Aunt Amanda), Pane (plane), he-cop (helicopter----it's true! she knows!), bye-bye, boom (which is accompanied by her giving you a fist bump), and probably a few words I've missed.
(Note that I haven't included any 4-letter words that may or may not have slipped out of my mouth unintentionally a few times. Yeah.)

She's finally starting to grow more hair! The poor thing has been called a boy so many times that I feel like I have to cover her in pink for people to know she's a girl---and sometimes that doesn't even work.

She knows what the potty is and is able to tell us "poop" when she has pooped, but that's as close as we've gotten with potty training. A little early, but we'll see how it goes.

She is infatuated with shoes (sorry daddy), my makeup, sunglasses, and purses. I don't think I have a tomboy on my hands!

I know that's not a very long return post, not witty or funny, but I'm not getting paid to do this like some people. :)  My goal is to post 1-2 times a week. We'll see! Until then, enjoy a few pics of my growing girl:

Happy 2011!

I wanted to start off the new year with a nice, long post, full of pictures and stories I've been promising for months now.Needless to say, I should have made a 2011 Resolution to be to keep up with my blog more often, but it will have to wait just a bit longer.I am studying for a big specialist certification exam in March (specifically, to be an Orthopedic Certified Specialist in Physical Therapy), and I really need to use every free second to study! (That's part of why I'm so behind!) It costs WAY too much to take this exam once, not to  mention the thought of not passing on the first go-round and needing to re-test.
For what it's worth, I have tried posting pictures, but nothing happens when I click on the "insert picture" link above the text box. Is anyone else having a hard time inserting pictures into blogger posts? Am I an idiot who is all of a sudden doing something wrong?
