Happy 1st Birthday!!

Happy Birthday to my Sweet Girl!

Here's a few random facts about Kate:
  • She wears size 12-18 month clothes and size 2 1/2 shoe
  • She has zero teeth
  • Her favorite foods are macaroni and cheese, spaghetti, carrots, fruit (especially bananas), french toast, and puffins cereal (from Trader Joes)
  • Cow milk gives her a rash, so she has to drink Soy Milk (but she doesn't seem to have a problem with yogurt or cheese)
  • She says one word consistently: Dada
  • She took steps repeatedly on two different nights in the past month but no one would believe me if I hadn't caught it on video because she crawls everywhere
  • She loves music and sings in the car ~ especially to "Choo Choo Soul," "Cars," and a mixed cd I made the boys in spring '07
  • She loves little furniture ~ little couches, little chairs ~ I often find her sitting in the little couch and flipping through books or standing facing the back of the rocking chair and rocking back and forth, daring the chair to topple
  • She is a climber ~ stairs, the slide, on top of the little table, up onto the couch ~ and she knows to push stools or other items to use as leverage towards the higher destinations
  • She LOVES her brothers
  • She thinks other babies are fascinating
  • Peek a Boo is her favorite game
  • She signs "all done" "milk" and sometimes "more"
  • She blows kisses (as of two days ago!) and makes a "mmmwwaaa" sound
  • She enjoys a shower but prefers to splash in the bath
  • She colors crayon to paper, mimicking her brothers' favorite activity of late
  • She can push a truck down our street and over sidewalk curbs quickly and without falling ~ freaks me out the whole way
  • She has a special bunny and a cloth doll that she snuggles all night long
  • She wakes with a smile and plays in her crib until I open her door to say "Good Morning!"
  • So long as bunny and her doll are nearby (preferably snuggled in close), she rolls over and falls asleep without a fuss when I lay her down at night
  • She often goes head first over the top step on the stairs, then turns to slide feet first on her belly the rest of the way down the flight
  • She loves to blow raspberries on my belly and shoulder
  • She nurses in the "downward dog" position often
  • She never really drank from a bottle, but went straight to a sippy cup
  • She has always slept in her own room
  • She is always happy and rolls with everything
  • She is silly, silly, silly and has awesome smiles and giggles!
  • She is patient and loving
  • Sometimes when she hugs you, she'll pat your back softly
  • She grows sweeter, cuter, and more lovely every day
... I can hardly believe she's one year old! I am truly a blessed mom. We love you, Katelyn!!! Happy Birthday!
