Baby Kate!

2008-03-15T09:23:00.000-07:00

I have a NEW SISTER!

Her name is Kate Margaret Meister, and boy is she CUTE. She was born on February 21st, in the morning. She was just a little bit bigger than I was when I was born, but I am sure she wont catch up to me for quite some time. She is pretty tiny.

Mom keeps telling me that she will get more fun, but right now all she does is cry. She does like it when I give her kisses, and when I sing the baby song to her. But she sure doesn't like it when I climb up on the table and pat her on the face! I guess its cause mom says she is fragile right now. I sure hope she isn't fragile forever, cause I really want to play with her.

Aside from having a new sister, I have all sorts of fun things I can do. I have learnt so many new words. And I understand so much of what mom and dad tell me. Lately I have been counting to 5, and I know most of my body parts. Eyes, EYES, eyes! I am a much better listener now, so mom lets me WALK down to the car to get in, so long as I hold her hand. I also know lots of animals and what kinds of sounds they make. My favorite is still a Gog, which mom and dad know as a dog. I would love to get my hands on a Gog.

Trip To Grandma's House

2008-01-16T12:31:00.001-08:00

I just got back from a very fun trip visiting my Aunties and Grandma! We had so much fun. I was into ALOT of stuff that I shouldn't have been. I was so out of whack that I even got to SLEEP with mom a few nights in a row! Just for the mornings though.

Its much colder at Grandma's house than it is at our house, they had all sorts of SNOW! I had never even gotten to play in the snow before, but I finally got to play in it. I am not sure if its as great as it seems, its pretty cold, and pretty wet... I DID really like to see my foot prints in it though, and it was cool to see it build up on the front of my boots.

I even got to have a really nice visit with my friend Ryder, and his new little sister Kyle. But of course my mom being as silly as she is brought the camera and forgot to even take ONE picture of our visit. She was too busy eating all the icecream cake, which I got NONE of!

I really had alot of fun visiting my Grandma and Aunties, and I will really miss them. I will certainly look forward to seeing them when my new sister comes in a month!!!

Merry Christmas

2007-12-19T10:21:00.000-08:00

Less than a week before Christmas, and yesterday I got to meet Santa! I was really brave and didn't even cry. Mom was really happy about that, cause she said she wasn't dressed to sit on Santa's lap and have HER picture taken too.

From the sounds of things though, this Santa guy is pretty important to have like you. I hear he gives out all sorts of gifts to good girls and boys. I am sure that I will be on the good list this year, as long as I keep my fits to a minimum!

The Wonderful Life of a 1 Year OLD!

2007-11-25T09:46:00.001-08:00

Lots has happened since I wrote my last post, but I have been so busy with all my new things that I have barely had time to sit! Cause I am usually running around exploring.

Just in case you didn't know already, I AM ONE! Birthdays are really cool, everyone sits around and sings to you, and you get to eat CAKE! That was the yummiest thing ever! I got to have a really nice visit with two of my Grandma's for my birthday, AND I got to see my Aunties!
I am learning all sorts of new words, I say Ta Ta, even though Dad says thats a parent word :) and I say, Dada, Mama, PaPa, Hi, and I say Ba for ball. Even as a special treat the other day I grabed mom by the head and gave her a kiss without her even asking, she sure liked it.

Mom seems to be getting quite the belly these days, she keeps telling me theres a baby in there, but all I like is to pinch and spank her big belly. I wonder what she is talking about BABY? I thought I was the baby.

I would love to chat more, but Mom and I have TONS of laundry to get into, so I had better go so I can 'help'.

WHATS NEW?!?!?!

2007-08-23T20:51:00.000-07:00

Hello!~

Ok, I know I said last time that it had been a long time, but NOW its been a long time!

So, incase you haven't heard I am so grown now! I have 7 teeth, I stand, crawl, clap, dance, wave, kiss, and today I took 7 steps without holding on to ANYTHING!

We have done all sorts of new fun things also, last week we went to the beach AND the PNE. I had alot of fun at both. I think my favorite was my trip to the beach, that sand is really neat.

Mom said now that I am so old I will have some responsibilities. My biggest responsibility soon will be to teach my baby brother or sister all the things I have learnt so far. I can't wait!

There is so much to catch up on, so I think I will just show you some of the pictures from the last few months!

Its been a while....

2007-05-13T23:28:00.000-07:00

Has it not been too long?

I have been SO busy! I have so many exciting things I have been doing.

Between the Aquarium, my good friend Evie, and all the exciting things I have been learning its been really hard to keep up with this.

First things first, I HAVE TWO TEETH! All the better to BITE you with! And I will, its fun to figure out what is soft to bite and what is too hard, moms hand... soft, moms cell phone.... too hard.

Second, I can sit down if I have to. The other day mom put on my favorite show, Baby Einsteins, Baby Beethoven. And I watched it for a whole half hour without falling once.

I can almost crawl also, its alot of fun, I lay down, and go up on my hands and knees and rock back and forth. Sometimes I can even get some motion going that helps me bunny hop around. That way I can get where and WHAT I want.

A little while ago, I went to the aquarium with Evie and her Mom Kelsey. They are really nice, Evie and I even went SWIMMING (but another time, not at the AQUARIUM!!!!!) She taught me how to kick! At the aquarium we saw sharks, turtles, giant fish, turtles makin babies, red birds, snakes, spiders.... and the list goes on. There was a big group of us, from moms "mom site" There were so many of us that we couldn't stay all together.

I am off to bed, I am so tired from all my chewing, sitting and practicing to crawl!

But not tired enough to forget to mention that I am going to visit my grandma in Vernon! And all my Aunties! I haven't seen them in SUCH A LONG TIME, I was so tiny then, but I am much more fun, I had only just learned about TOES AND MOTORCYCLES back then!

All sorts of exciting things!

2007-04-09T11:30:00.000-07:00

Wow,

I hope you liked that last post, I wrote it ALL by myself. Mom said it might be hard to understand, but I was determined to make a post that I wrote!

I have a new friend!! Her name is Evie! Mom and Evies mom are friends too, they have alot in common. Including having been in labour on the SAME DAY! That means Evie and I have the very same birthday! We went to the mall and had lunch. Evie is really friendly and very nice, I like her shoes more than anything. Plus she was wearing a tasty dress. Maybe next time I see her I will get to play more. I was pretty distracted by her shoes. They were SO cute! I can't wait until I get to see Evie again, she is fun!

I should also tell you about the other neat tricks I learned lately. One is my bathtub waterslide. All I have to do is lift up my head and feet and I slide down into the deep end of the tub. Mom pushes me back to the shallow end, and I get to do it all over again. My other neat trick is a bit of trouble. I learned how to roll over. But I really don't like it on my tummy once I get there. So I cry and mom comes to get me. (thats really the trick, to make mom come over to me)

I also play a neat game where I make mom let me wash my own face. If she wipes it I cry and cry, but if I get to wipe it I have fun, and laugh. I like to be crazy!

I have been having trouble sleeping lately because of my new teeth that are trying to come through, I just hope I can sleep more soon. So does mom!

My OWN Chair

2007-03-27T15:40:00.000-07:00

I have my OWN chair now! Its great! It moves all sorts of ways, I can sit back, sit forward, sit high, and low! Its amazing. My whole family pitched in and got me the best chair ever! Its really cool. The first time I sat in it I just laughed and laughed, it was great! And the best part of all with this chair, is I get to eat in it! And I LOVE to eat! I am already over 18 lbs. Its almost time for me to get a big girl car seat! So I can watch Mommy and Daddy when they drive!

Hmm, I can't decide what to play with; my new swim suit, or my new chair.....BYE!

Little Swimmer

2007-03-26T18:06:00.000-07:00

Do you like my swimming? I love my new suit, it makes me kick really fast! I got it from my Aunty Nana, and my Grandpa, I love the polka dots! See you in the pool!

Some Bunny Loves Me

2007-03-10T10:55:00.000-08:00

Hello again!

Do you love my ears? I do, they taste great. My grandpa bought them for me! They make me look like Little Nut Brown Hare from my story book. Daddy needs one so he can be BIG Nut Brown Hare.

Aside from my new ears tasting great, EVERYTHING does. Sheets, hands, toys, anything at all that I can get my hands on. Which is pretty much anything that comes infront of my face. Including mommy's hair. I thought it was funny when she screamed cause I just pulled it, now I get to pull it and put it in my mouth!

Speaking of my mommy's hair, we tried a neat trick. We wanted to see what I would look like with LONG hair, so we put mommys hair over MY head. What do you think? Do I look like I could pass for 1? (I am trying to impress a boy) ;)

One of my new favorite things is to try to sit down on my own. My other of course is to stand while mommy and daddy help me stay upright. But I am really working on sitting on my own. In the bath I keep trying to lift up my head so mommy will sit me upright. There is SO many interesting things I can do while I am sitting. WAY more than when I am laying down.

Thanks for checking in, I sure am having fun discovering all sorts of new things every day! I'll be sure to keep you posted about all my new adventures!!!

Mommy tastes like....relief

2007-02-27T22:40:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone!

I am teething!!!!!! I want to chomp on EVERYTHING right now. Especically mommy's face. Why eat my soother when I can suck on my Little Nut Brown Hare, or my Lion boy, or a blanket, or my mommy's face?! Anything tastes better than plastic soothers. I like to growl when I start to eat my hands and moms face, I just can't get enough of it.

Eating from a spoon is going really well. I can't seem to get enough. I used to cry cause it couldn't come fast enough, now I have it figured out. Although sometimes I don't open my mouth just so Daddy and Mommy will make funny airplane sounds.

Fwanks Fwor Chwecking Win! (thats blanket mouth for- thanks for checking in!)

My Valentine

2007-02-20T16:48:00.000-08:00

Today I got a card from the nicest little boy. His name is Ryder. It was a valentines card. I really enjoyed having a card arrive in the mail, it was my first time!

Ryder is an older man, 9 months! He eats real food, and can sit up and even has his own wheels. And by wheels I mean he can crawl! I know Ryder is trying to smooze with this girl Olivia, but I think that he will one day come around ;)

Thanks Ryder for my beautiful valentines card!

Yum, Yum, YUM!

2007-02-16T22:09:00.000-08:00

Well if you can believe it I have more exciting news in my life!

Lately I have been trying to give mom a break with holding my bottle. Its hard sometimes because I am still not the best at controling these crazy hands, but I am working on it.

Even more exciting than that is my adventure with FOOD!!! My tummy has been flip floping, and my doctor said that I was big enough to try rice pablum. Things were going well at the begining, then...something tasted funny... and I didn't like it! So I told mom and dad! All in all it ended well, cause when I was done crying, I ate the rest of my food, and I sure enjoyed it!

Yum Yum YUM!!!!

Are you Talking to ME?!

2007-02-15T17:55:00.000-08:00

If you are, GET READY~

I am going to SCREAM cause I am a scaredy cat! You see, if I am out, and you are out, and I happen to see you.... I will cry in your face! Today I have discovered how I can get MORE attention from my parents. By crying when other people say hello, or how cute I am... or even just being in the same room as me. Its funny cause everyone scrambles to get away or to stop me, and it makes me laugh.

Once I started being nicer to Aunty Cari, I got the coolest present today, its Mine and Mommies FAVORITE book. Guess How Much I Love You. She also gave me Little Nut Brown Hare, and Big Nut Brown Hare. I can already tell that I am going to have to fight Mommy for that present. Cause Mommy really loves it. But SO DO I! Well I know what to do if Mommy tries to take it over.... I will just SCREAM!

My OTHER fun thing I wanted to tell you about was my EXERSAUCER! Mommy says I am supposed to be 4 months once I get to play in there, but cause I am so BIG I get to play in it already! It has all sorts of toys and music to play with, and its also fun to bounce around in. It sure is fun getting bigger and learning all sorts of new things to play with. To think that just last month I didn't even know about Exersaucers, Jolly Jumpers, or TOES!

Speaking of toes.....I better get back to them.... they might be lonely... or dry! Talk to you soon!

Fun, Fun, Fun, Fun FUN!!!!!!!!!

I played with the MOST amazing toy today! Mommy called it a Jolly Jumper! It took me a few tries and mommy bouncing me up and down a little for me to figure it out. 6 Mins later I got it! Can you believe that jumping up and down would be SO much FUN!!!

Toes and Motorcycles

2007-02-09T13:34:00.000-08:00

Hello again!

Fun things happening for me these days. Did you know I have feet!? And are those things ever cool. The other thing I am really loving these days, is my motorcycle engine sound, it sure makes a mess with all my drool, but it sure is fun to make that sound.

My other FAVORITE thing right now is other little babies. Last night I met Celina, she was 8 months old, was she ever fun to talk to. We sat there for about 10 mins and just talked to one another. I also like to the babies on my BABY EINSTEIN dvd from my Aunty Shawna. Two of them are my friends, and everytime I see them I laugh at them. That gives my mommy some alone time, like for baking a cake for Daddy's birthday. I don't mind giving her some time like that when I get to see my little friends.

I have been trying to spend a little more time on my tummy these days, seeing as I recently learned how to roll over from my tummy to my back. Sometimes I do get pretty frustrated doing it, my head is sure heavy. But I really enjoy when I finally get over from my tummy!

I just got a new friend for Christmas that I have enjoyed playing with. His nose is really tasty. He also has a nice mane to eat. I call him Lion Boy, cause thats what he is! He keeps me company, and like I said, I really like to eat him. Sometimes he doesn't want me to suck on his nose, but I just pull him close and STICK his little nose in my mouth!

I would love to chat more, but I just remembered about my having toes, so I have to go and play with them some more!

Keara Bears First Post

2007-01-29T13:58:00.000-08:00

Hello!

I am Keara Bear. I am 12 weeks old, and I am learning all sorts of new and exciting things everyday. Like, its fun to hear mommy scream when I pull her hair, it makes me laugh.

I was born on Nov 7, 2006. I was 8 lbs 11 ounces. So I was pretty big. I had to spend some time in the Special Care Unit with all the little tiny babies, cause they thought I was sick, but I was just tricking them. Everything was ok.

I was a pretty calm little baby, Mommy and Daddy thought that they had won the lottery with how quiet I was. But I was just tricking them too. Once I got over my quiet stage, I let them know, I wasn't just all sugar and spice.
