It took Katie 19 months to figure out how…but she is finally sleeping in past 6am! This weekend it was 6:20am but anything is better than 5am. Pish says he still wakes up at 5 because he’s used to it but I’ve been enjoying the extra sleep. I hope I didn’t just jinx myself for tomorrow morning…
I had a very productive weekend. On top of having a great Thanksgiving and spending time with family, I was able to post all my new Cupcake Cuddles products, I got the 2nd edition of my newsletter sent out and we have fully launched weefinds.com. It’s all so much fun! It’s keeping me busy and I’m sleeping WAY later than usual but I’m loving it. Thanks to Pish for being so supportive with all my “projects”.
I haven’t had a Katie update in a little while so here you go…
- She counts 1-10 now but she says “What” for one
- She know her colors and shapes
- We are working on the alphabet
- She is slowly transitioning herself to one nap a day. We had some issues with putting her down for her naps this past weekend.
- Saturday was her brattiest day ever. I think it was the first time Pish and I were really pushed to our limits. She cried, stomped her feed, swung her arms and just didn’t listen to us. I think I was partly due to her having less naps though. Luckily it only lasted one day.
- She LOVES mickey mouse lately
- We talk about using the potty every day but she still hasn’t done it successfully yet.
- She used to make a loud “Muh!” sound when giving you a kiss but now it’s just a polite little peck. I guess she’s growing up… 
Here’s a pic from our portrait sitting that didn’t make the cut for our christmas card. Thanks to Sing for taking all the pics for us!
I’m behind on blogging and plan on catching up this week but I just wanted to say happy monday to everyone!! Today has been a great day so far. www.weefinds.com has successfully launched and I started listening to xmas music at work. So I’ve been smiling all morning. 
I would like to tell you about a new project I have been working on. www.weefinds.com!! I started this website with two other mommies. We are always looking for great deals and now we’ll use this website to share them! There are plenty of deal sites out there but most of the items are still so expensive (a blanket on sale for $60 is not a deal to us). So on weefinds.com, you will find product reviews and deals for items that are all under $25!
We had a pre-launch and got some great feedback. Now we are ramping up for a full launch on Dec 1st. Please check out the site and let me know what you think.
We had a jam-packed weekend. First, Uncle Jorell came for a visit on friday night. Katie had so much fun with him. Then on Saturday we headed down to Carlsbad to celebrate Ryan’s 8th birthday. Of course we had to stop at the outlets on the way down for a little shopping. 
Katie loved playing with her cousins and with all of Kennan’s toys.

On Sunday we had a playdate with four other little girls at our house. It was so fun to see everyone! At first the girls kind of played on their own but eventually started to play with each other. It was really cute. Surprisingly we were able to keep them still for a group photo too!

Katie has learned to test us lately. I’ll tell her not to touch something and then a minute later, she’ll look at me and touch it (testing to see what I’ll do). Well, yesterday she was putting a toy in her mouth and I said no. She looked and me and purposely put it her mouth again. I yelled at her and she started to whine. I told her if she did it one more time, I would take the toy away. Within a couple minutes she did it again. So…bye bye toy! I grabbed it and she started screaming and stomping her feet. She rarely cries that hard but we were not going to give in. Since she kept disobeying us, Pish put her into her first Time Out. She did not like this at all. More screaming and more stomping. Then she cried so hard, she threw up. Poor kid. Red puke all over the carpet. I guess she hadn’t digested those strawberries yet.
I have a feeling this is just the beginning….
Someone recently asked me about baby proofing our house.
Personally, I’ve been delaying the baby proofing process. Not because I’m lazy but because I think those drawer and cabinet things are annoying. Some of them are adult-proof too!
Katie has opened a couple drawers and cabinets but I usually yell out “NO!” and she steps away. So far so good…I hope I didn’t just jinx it.
