Children's Museum

Last Friday Catalina and Mami went to the San Antonio Children's Museum with some friends and had a blast! Catalina's favorite parts were shopping in the HEB grocery store, watching plastic fish change colors in a tube, and pretending to be a pilot in a plane. Lots or varied interests :) She is talking more every day and is saying a lot of phrases now like; "where'd it go?" "I find it" "there it is" "wash hands" wake up". When she wants to refer to something by color she always says "yellow, pink" no matter what color it is and when she is counting something it is always " 2, 5, 2, 5"! Although when she is playing hide and seek it's always "8,7,8,7" :). She will copy you when you say just about any letter of the alphabet, but when she sees letters, she always assumes it's a "B"! We've had several successful potty completions in the potty chair over the last month, but never ends up being recurring, so we'll keep familiarizing her with it. She now where's her "princess" pullups that she loves! Life has been a little crazy amidst our move and now living in an apartment, but Cata has been a trooper! Her only complaint from being in the apartment is wanting to play outside more, but we've been going on outings every day to keep her busy!

Diego

Well, it seems as though Catalina has her first crush... You know the Nick Jr. program, Diego? Catalina gets so excited every time she hears the music come on for the show and she try to sing along "Go Diego Go". She has a little Dora and Diego figurine and she's not interested in Dora, just Diego. She says the name Diego or "Dago" all of the time now... it's so cute!

Well, Catalina has already passed the 15 month milestone. It took her until she was 14 months to walk all over the place, although she started taking one or two steps around 12 months. What amazes me most is how much she talks. She's learning new words every day! She likes to try and copy whatever we say. The other day something happened and I said "crap" and then she responded back "crap", so now we have to be much more careful what we say around her :)

Nap time hasn't been going very well lately, but we'll still work on it. I at least put her up for "rest time". The other day I went to get Catalina after an hour and she didn't sleep at all, just talked or fussed now and then. When I opened the door she was sitting down reading a book in her bed.

Last weekend we went to the fairgrounds for the rodeo and Catalina got to see the pigs, horses, cow, goats, and other animals. She wanted to touch everything! She is learning all of the animal sounds right now, so loves to see any kind of animal.

On Monday we went to the zoo and Catalina saw a rhino and thought it was the elephant, so went up to the fence and started making elephant sounds. Then when we got to the elephant, she didn't make a peep!

Catalina definitely keeps us on our toes and gives us so much joy everyday.
