Mini-Trampoline Girl

Just yesterday we noticed Celeste had learned to "jump" on the bed. Tonight Grammy baby-sat Celeste for our date night. She got a video of Celeste "jumping". Here's the link:

What an exciting time for Celeste! She had her B-day party on Friday night. Many of her fan club were there to celebrate. Celeste loves the attention. She got wonderful presents and had a cool Noah's Ark "cake". The cake makers did amazingly well under pressure and should go on the cooking channel's cake challenge.

For Halloween night she got to dress up as a St. Bernard puppy. She was feeling much better. If you noticed that she looked unhappy at her party, she was. She was very sick with a kidney infection. Thursday evening she developed a fever so we took her to a doctor. She got tests and anti biotics for her infection, but was still sick Friday. She had some symptoms during the party that worried me, so the party was cut short and we went to see a doctor. More shots and tests. By Saturday she was doing so much better and playing with her new toys. She was able to do the trunk or treat at the church parking lot and go to the "Boo at the Zoo" halloween party at the zoo. She loved the lights and all the kids. The lions and tigers were growling, and Celeste growled and laughed all the way home from the zoo.

Celeste's vocabulary is increasing. So far we have heard: Hi, Bye, Daddy, Dad, Dadda, Dog, Birds, Mommy (usually it's 'meee' for mommy), Sippy, Up, 'Est (we think it's short for Celeste).

" 'Est" loves shoes

Celeste has been going around saying "Est", "Est", "Est". I (Bethany) finally figured out that she is trying to say "Celeste".

OK, to be specific she really likes her princes snow boots. This evening I (Scott) was sitting on the couch and Celeste brough me one of her boots. I gave it back. She then tried to release the velcro. I did it for her and gave the boot back. She then gave me the boot back and started lifting her right foot up and down. So I put the boot on her foot. I couln't find the other boot so she had a boot on one foot and the other was bare. She walked around for a little bit lopsided. It was very entertaining to watch. After a little bit she got tired of it so I took it off. We went on a search for her other boot. She started doing the same leg thing so I put them both on her. She walked for a little bit and fell down and couldn't get up. So I took the boots off and she had had enough boots for the day. It is amazing how well she can communicate what it is she wants, and some things are very clear, especially when it is an uncommon gesture like lifting one foot up. I have never seen her do it the way she was doing it this evening.

Go Broncos!

My mom posted pictures of Celeste in her cheerleader outfit. My aunt and uncle are big fans of Boise State football. They are also big fans of Celeste. Celeste enjoyed shaking the pom poms.
