Happy 1st Birthday, Katherine!  Your first year has been filled with...  expressions - real smiles, fake smiles, frowns, inquisitive looks, laughs, stares, kissy lips, smirks;  movement - rolling, sitting, standing, crawling, jumping, spinning, dancing, walking? (hmmm, maybe soon!); sleep - for you, not so much for us;  friends - so many new little friends for all of us and new experiences with our awesome friends; family - wonderful times with our amazing families; music - itsy bitsy spider and so many more; hats - pink ones, yellow ones, birthday ones; food - milk from mommy, avocado, more milk from mommy, bananas, more milk from mommy, veggie puffs, cat food, more milk from mommy, oh and some more milk from mommy; toys - books, tag rattle, bug, panda, duck bunny, airplane, cell phones; fun - peek-a-boo, i'm gonna get you, clapping, pointing, touchdown!, rolllll it, pat it, mark it with a 'b', sticking your tongue out at Lauren; sweetness - kissing your reflection in the mirror, hugging the cat, kisses for everyone, cuddles, and so much love!  We are absolutely amazed and fascinated by you and can't wait to see what you have in store for us as you enter your second year!  Love, Mommy & Daddy










Katherine's party was a blast!  She had a great time seeing so many friends and family (and so did we)!  Thanks to everyone for coming and making her day special!  We know a lot of you had long drives and we were just thrilled to have everyone here.  We even had representatives from up north (Tracey and Chris came all the way from New Jersey) and down south (Lauren and Micheal came all the way from Chareston, SC)!  Here are a few photos:























I'm supposed to eat this?




What a day it's been.


Not this again?


Could you at least give me a spoon?


Fine, I'll try it.


Not too bad...
