It's Halloween

Our neighborhood does a business trick-or-treat with the businesses along the main road near us.  Lots of kids come out to get candy from the businesses (http://tinyurl.com/3sp9l54).  Kasen got dressed up and headed out for to get some candy (mainly for Mom).

 

Any guesses on what she was for Halloween?

Afterwards we headed to the zoo for some more trick-or-treating and watching the animals eat/play with pumpkins.  We wrapped up the day with the holiday party at Scott and Karens.  

Pear & Hello Kitty

A neighbor gave Kasen the most perfect pear from her tree.  Kasen doesn't even like pears, but she loves this.  She pushes my hand away when I try to get a bite.

She is also sporting her new Hello Kitty shoes.  Karl brought them home from Taiwan and she is the envy of all her friends.  They even light up.  Need I say more?

18 Month Stats

Kasen loves to mimic people.  Karl and I find it hilarious especially when she "busts a move" with music on.  However, it does seem she sees us Karl do something quite frequently....

Kasen at 18 months

Yea, she was talking with a key chain pressed to her ear.  This girl turns EVERYTHING into a phone. 

So without further ado:

Kasen at 18 months
24 lbs
33"

Me at 18 months 
27 lbs
35"
  -- apparently I was born gawky... I mean 35"?  Seriously.

Karl at 18 months
23.5 lbs
30.5"

So while Kasen looks like her dad, clearly some of my genes are in there.

Kasen at 18 months

Kasen had her 18th month checkup today and everything went great.  Afterwards we went to the Sounders game and watch the Sounder win their 3rd US Open Cup in a row (http://www.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter/2011-10-04-seattle-sounders-vs-chicago-fire/recap).  Here she is enjoying the game:

She has ween two of the finals (the first one she was not on the outside for).

We'll post he stats from the appointment soon, but she is a healthy little girl according to the doctor.

Better at walking

Kasen keeps getting better at walking.  At times she is almost running these days.  Here is the latest video we have of her getting around outside.  (You can also see the new garage doors at the end of video)

More to come we promise.  She keeps us really busy these days so its hard to post as much as we use to.  Later today we head to the doctors for her 18 month checkup, we'll post the latest stats for sure.  Then we head to the Sounders game tonight for the US Open Cup finals.
