I'm pretty sure our baby girl had a nice birthday today. She started her day with her favorite breakfast- a blue berry muffin and milk, then we took Noah to school. After running some errands, a nap and some playing with her new toys we all had lunch. Kate had two adult sized pancakes and ate every bite. The girl is amazing when it comes to eating. We headed over to Mamaw's house for a quick visit before we picked up Noah and headed to the park. Kate loves to swing in the baby swing at the park. She always get this happy little pleased look on her face as she swings. We took the kids and let them run some energy off and they were all happy to be outside in the fresh air and sunshine. They have all commented on the bradford pear trees and the tulip poplar trees - about how pretty they are. What a beautiful day for a birthday! We had dinner at Lenny's where the birthday girl enjoyed part of a turkey sandwich and her milk. We came home to share birthday cake, which was happily eaten by Noah and Rachel. Kate was so tired, she didn't want any of hers and even pushed it off her tray when offered a bite. After a bit of snuggling we put her to bed. It has been a wonderful year. I can't believe the time has gone by so quickly. She is so precious to us and she is growing and changing every single day. She is getting more and more excited about the idea of walking around and really starting to furniture walk. She pulls up on everything. She is beginning to try to crawl correctly although she still understands that her army crawl is much faster for her. She is saying Ma-ma, Da-da, Pa-pa, Bye-bye, done and she has just begun to nod her head and to shake her head no, although she is still getting the hang of it. She is wearing sizes 6 months - 12 months and size 3 diapers. She loves milk and will try eating just about anything. More than anything she is a special part of our family and we all adore her. Happy Birthday Kate! We love you!
