Katie Is One!





Katie had a blast celebrating turning one year old! Time has flown by so fast and I am so proud of the little person she has become. We blew bubbles, opened presents, played with balloons, and best of all-got messy eating cupcakes! She LOVED it when we sang to her-clapped her hands and jumped up and down in her chair. At first she was very timid about eating her own cupcake-wondering if it was ok....but she didn't need much encouraging to dive right in! We put her in the tub when she was finished-there wasn't a place that the cupcake didn't get into-nose, diaper, hair, and all!
She is such a fun little girl-and so independent/adventurous-she wants to be a part of everything and isn't affraid to give something a try.
She is our drama queen, our stunt man, our loving little princess. We absolutely enjoy every minute of watching her grow up...just as long as it isn't too fast!
She is now standing up on her own-and will randomly decide to do this-she can use things to walk around the room-and we suspect that walking is not far off. She has also started to say mom and dad....well more like ma and da. And is just as smart as her brother.
Things Katie Loves:
Her green Turtle blanket! I have tried to replace this thing with a ton of other blankets-even ones that are the same size, and fabric-and she still doesn't like/won't go to sleep-with anything but her green blankie! I guess I better learn how to sew so I can sew up the holes this sucker is getting from all the love she gives it.
To eat! Especially bannana-she is such a tiny thing that you couldn't tell that she eats whenever she can.
To play peekaboo
To go down slides-she tries to do this on her own-despite me trying to make sure she gets down safe.
Fliping through books-following in her mom and brother's footsteps
Baths-usually will stay entertained for about 20 minutes
Outside-swinging and playing in the dirt/sand/woodchips-going on walks/rides in the wagon
Being walked around
Thanks to my family for helping us celebrate and for ALL your help in raising her!
