New York, New York
We took Kaitlyn to New York for the first time today. We drove to the Metro Park in NJ and then took a train over. Kaitlyn loved the train rides and the subway. She made A LOT of friends! Who says New Yorkers are grumpy and mean, so many people offered us their seats on the subway because of her.
We went to Ground Zero, passed by central park and the plaza, FAO Shwartz, the Disney store, times square, the m&m store, rockafeller center, s'mac (they have kinds of mac & cheese)for dinner with Auntie Oriana. Then we headed for home.
Shaun got to see the tree lit and I got to go to times square. We know Kaitlyn was too little to remember this trip but Shaun and I made alot of memories today that we will never forget!

Kaitlyn's new things
Kaitlyn is 17 months old. She is busy busy busy and into everything. She is playing with her toys more and will stay entertained for awhile on her own which is great for getting stuff done around the house. She will play with her beads forever, and is still into her baby dolls and coloring! Everytime she sees a peice of paper she starts to say color, color, color. She pats the ground and says here, she wants you to sit and color with her. She will share her crayons with you. Shaun is pretty sure she said her first sentence the other day which was "can I color?".
Kaitlyn can repeat alot of what you say and mimic your tone. New things come out of her mouth every day! She is getting better at peoples names and now when she is crying you can ask her what she wants or what is wrong and she will answer you yes or no. She is addicted to Lollipops or "pops" and M&M's which we have started to call "mores" because Kaitlyn will stant there and point to them and sign and say, more more more. She is all about chicken nuggets, we bought her dino nuggets from BJs and she will shovel them in. It's amazing how much she eats sometimes.
Kaitlyn is getting very good at her animal sounds she knows cat, cow, pig, duck, sheep, dog (she pants instead of saying woof), lion, bear, horse and mouse. She is really enjoying putting things together and taking them apart like her beads and blocks.
We are not sure what Kaitlyn will do this christmas. At friendsmas on Friday Mike & Andrea brought Kaitlyn some presents and she took forever to unwrap them. She pulled off one peice of paper at a time and then took it to the trash can. This could be a VERY long christmas! Kaitlyn did a very good job of sharing at friendsmas. Dante was here and we got to meet little Vinny, and Joey G was here as well. Kaitlyn shared all of her toys and showed them to the boys. She was excellent! Alot better then I expected. OH that reminds me of Friendsgiving, Eva came down to friendsgiving which was at the beach this year so we could enjoy the new completed addition upstairs. When Matt & Jane left with Eva Kaitlyn pointed at the door and just cried because her friend left. it was ADORABLE!
Kaitlyn went to her first movie today. Mommy took her to see Tangled, she was very good for the first 45 mins. The movie was VERY cute but i think it was too new Kaitlyn wanted to play with the aisle lights and causing problems. She seemed very confused about the giant screen. She was better then I expected though. I think that if Shaun and I had both been there it would have been easier to keep her in a seat and watching the movie. Or if it was a Dora or Diego movie she would have sat mezmerized for the whole thing!
Kaitlyn has moved on from Handy Manny and is obsessed with Dora and Diego, she will say both of their names when the show comes on and she rolls her R's when she says Dora it's funny! She did the funiest happy dance the other day when i put on Micky Mouse Club house for her and can point out Minnie Mouse and tell you who she is. She likes Chuggington as well, she really likes Choo Choos.
This year will be Kaitlyn's second christmas. She is more aware of the decorations this year, we put up the tree while she was asleep one night and she came down the next morning and when she saw the tree she rubbed her eyes got a very confused look on her face. She pointed to the tree and looked back at me and asked "tree?". It was too cute. I bought her a Little People Santa set, so she would hopefully recognize Santa. She does recognize him and can point him out in books or toys or on tv. When we took her to see him she waved and pointed and said Santa. I tried to put her on his lap and she lost it! Tears and screaming. The picture is AWESOME! We also took Kaitlyn on the Santa Express with Joey, Shannon & Russ. She loved the train and looked out the window the whole time (I think she liked being able to look out while we were moving instead of being strapped into a car seat). She and Joey had a great time until Santa came to see us, she freaked out again. Poor little Kaitlyn. Hopefully next year she will like him. We are going to try to leave cookies out for Santa this year more for the pictures then for her to understand it. I can't wait for Christmas, I think she is going to be so cute.
That's all for now, more to come soon!
