Money See, Monkey Do....18 months
1. Justin and I were straightening up the house one weekend, and we noticed that it was awfully quiet...so as any good parents would do, we dropped everything and went to find our adventurous 18 month old. Justin came upon her in the hallway with her teddy bear on the ground. She has been desiring to have all her toys in diapers, and Ted was no exception. Except this time, Katie had taken off Ted's diaper and found the thermometer we use when she is sick. Can you tell where this story is going? As Justin watched she was trying to take the bears temperature! She was putting the thermometer up the bears bottom! We could not believe it. I never would have thought that she understood what we were doing when she was sick when we'd try to find out if she had a fever...but I guess she is way smarter then I even know!
2. Katie LOVES to look around our property for the Canadian Geese "Honkers" and also the deer. Justin will take her on tractor rides and they will go searching for any animals that are brave enough to be in the open. One day as we were swinging on the swing set Justin asked Katie if she saw any deer. She thought and looking around really intently said, "no" as if she really knew what she was looking for! She looked just like a mini adult as she pondered his question. But I guess again she understands way more then we give her credit for!

They learn so quick! One time we walked into Target with James (he was not yet 2), and he said, "Elmo!" and pointed his little finger as far as he could. Well, we looked and looked and did not see Elmo. I said, "Baby, there aren't any Elmo's right here." But he continued and was VERY insistent. Finally Andy saw Elmo. He was on one of those advertisements that hang from the ceiling in the VERY back of the store, and it wasn't even a whole Elmo....just half of his face!! They are soooo extremely observent! I wouldn't be surprised if Katie really was looking for Deer. She sounds like a smart cookie! Which also isn't surprising b/c I've met her parents! ;o)
I love reading your stories. I'm glad you guys are doing well!
