kitten love

If you've been to our house you know Cali waits next to the food cupboard pretty much all day long for her next meal.  Constantly talking everytime you walk into the kitchen.  Lane even has the "talk" down.  It's not "meow", but a good kitty imitation.  Took me a while to figure out what he was saying.  He has learned how to feed her and if she is eating he can pet her.  He's pretty good about not hitting her, but does like to lay his head on her or play with her tail.  She's been a good sport so far and this is her reward...  Her Happy New Year treat!

Happy New Year


Here's the first picture of the year!

Weather was perfect today!  50 and sunny - we are all over dressed, but that's ok it's January and we are walking without hats, gloves and boots.  New Year's Eve was quiet at home and we watched Four Christmases and were in bed before midnight.  That's what happens when your sick.  Still waiting on those first steps...

oh yes December...

The month that flew by.  The tree went up and was just barely decorated and I kept the decorations to a minimum to avoid having to undecorate after the holidays.  Might call it lazy, but we did celebrate and that's what important.  He's into everything so my energy is spent chasing him all over.  We did get out the dancing penguins and other fun singing toys.  Huge hit.  The Christmas dishes are out and might stay there for a while - they match the room.  haha...
So let's keep December brief...  a quick review for Grandma Koenig with pictures!
 Early December walk on the bridge.  We've had very mild weather so far this winter.  We can have snow at some point, but as of now we are looking at a max of two months of it.  Woohoo!!!

 ah yes...  a cat on a walk - this is NOT our cat!  But we had a good laugh.  Poor kitty.

Bath time with new toys.  Lane can stand unassisted.  In the tub only.  He does fall and it does get us all wet, but he loves it. 
 His early Christmas present from Grandma Sens.  Had to spread out the cheer.  Heck he's still got a few presents from us hiding in the basement.  I'm sure they will come in handy some snow bound day.  The gift from grandma.... a riding/pushing fire truck.  He loves it and we let him take spins all over the kitchen.  The faster the better.  He does a great job staying on!

 The poor tree.  Lane undecorated a few things, but was more interested in the lights.  Bad news.  Had to leave the lights off when he was up - much easier than chasing him away.

More happiness with the new truck - he can push it all over and dances to the Minnie Mouse music.  Quite the dancer!

If Lane could talk and tell you what he liked most about Christmas I think he'd say the cards - he loves the picture cards the most.  He loves to play with them and move them all over the living room.  He especially loves the one from our cousin's in California.  2
