Kadri News

I was going to say that "Sometimes it surprises me to realize how grown-up Kadri has become in sixteen months." That's a little bit inaccurate. It surprises me at least several times a day how quickly my baby is becoming a little girl. There is pretty much no baby left in her. As you can see in the photo below. I took this photo before I left for work on the day she went to spend a few days with my sister and fam while Tim went out of town for my birthday. The whole morning as I was hanging out with her I just marvelled at how grown-up she seemed.

Today I had her sit in her chair long enough for me to put in her first pigtails. So cute!

Kadri spends a lot of her day hanging out in this drawer. She dumps out every toy we own and then sits in there to play with her toys or stands in it to watch Signing Time dvd's.

Look at that cute smile! And those cute teeth! Can you guess how many she has? I thought she had only four until a couple days ago, when I discovered that number five had made its way through her little gums. Then earlier today I noticed that number six is on its way. I wondered how soon we'd see seven or eight, but I made another discovery while I was holding her down to brush her teeth tonight... She has at least three molars through already! YIPES! She may have number four but she was done with me poking my fingers or her toothbrush around her mouth by that point. I love to watch her do all this growing up, but does she have to do it so fast?

Kadri says, "Thanks Grandma!"

And some photos to make any Kadri-worshippers out there smile!

Puppy loves!


This is the best I could get of the new clothes, Grandma. She's a moving target!

President's Day Weekend

Over the President's Day weekend we headed to Yuma for a weekend of playing Wii and hiking with our favorite Lochridge's.

Kadri was happy to be riding face first for the trip! She loves this pink car seat, a hand-me-down from one of her cousins.
Some photos of our hike at the slot canyons:




Howie, the Wonder-Wimp dog, kept up like a trooper, but when we all paused for a little break, he didn't curl up on the ground like any normal dog would do. Nope, our pampered pup picked the softest place he could find and curled up in the Lochridge's backpack. What a nerd face!
After all the fun of the weekend, and a LONG ride home for Miss Kadri, she was overjoyed to finally be reunited with her Pooh Bear. She picked him up on a visit to a second hand store with Daddy, and made sure that Daddy knew she was not leaving that store without him. She LOVES that Pooh Bear!

Christmas 2010

A late-ish post, and a lazy post. Not many words. Just pictures. Enjoy!

How can you call it Christmas without croquet and salad?

Such a cute girl, but again, where's my baby?

So much attitude!

And so beautiful!
