Kaitlyn is 20 months old today!

I woke up this morning to Kaitlyn babbling while waking in her crib. This is the usual way I wake up, but the babbling this morning made me smile. "Looooove you! Looooooooove you!" was coming through the monitor! AKA, Mom get up here now I'm going crazy in here! :)
Yesterday Kaitlyn went over to Grandma Kathy's house while James was at school. I had a chiropractic appointment so Mom offered to keep Kaitlyn company while I went alone. Fine with me! :) When I got back to Mom's house, Kaitlyn was playing on the floor in the family room with Grandma and the guitar that usually is perched up against the wall, but today was on the floor. Kaitlyn stood up, leaned towards Grandma and pursed her lips to give Grandma a big smackeroo! Of course she obliged, and then Grandma turned around to me and said, "She just gave me a kiss!"
Last night after dinner, Nathan and I were sitting on the couch while the kids were playing on the floor. Kaitlyn came up to me, looking like she was ready to rumble (get tickled on the couch), so I picked her up and gave her a good hug. She buried her head in my neck, giggled and said, "I love you!" AWWWW, Nathan and I just laughed... and were filled with delight.
She is changing so fast and every day brings something new for her. She can now go out on her own at the playground and I don't have to watch her every move... well... ok, I do, but she can get up the stairs and go down the slide all by herself... again, and again, and again! "FUN!" She says.
We think James is entering the stage of sometimes napping, sometimes not. Waaaaah. I really really really really like it when both kids nap. :) Hmmm... I guess all good things come to an end, but the question remains... WHEN DO I GET MY NAP? Ha.
James was laying on his bed the other day getting ready for a nap, and he said that he wanted to tell me something. I said, "OK...?" and he replied with some babble that I didn't understand and then declared, "Next! On Playhouse Disney!" LOL.
