February Fun!

The past couple of weeks have been very exciting around the Kolenik house! Last weekend Papa drove up from South Carolina with his car packed full of Mary Pat's Christmas presents that couldn't make the plane trip back with us. Needless to say, Mary Pat was very excited to see her kitchen, shopping cart and many other toys she had forgotten about! She also had fun spending some time with Papa. We also finally got around to ordering Mary Pat her "Anywhere Chair" from Pottery Barn. This was a belated Christmas present that we ordered and received last week. Mary Pat has LOVED having a place to sit and enjoy Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Yo Gabba Gabba while snacking on her cheerios.

This weekend Mary Pat will be 18 months old and we can hardly believe how big she is getting. She is running all over the place and loves to climb up anything (especially the stairs). She will eat pretty much anything that is put in front of her and is the best eater in her class at the day care and is starting to get better at using her fork and spoon! Her newest words are "up", "mine", "baa", "roar", "whoa" and "bu-bye" and she loves to "read" to herself and her baby dolls. Follow this link to more pictures from the past few weeks!
