Happy Birthday Baby!

It's hard to believe a whole year has gone by since Kate was born! I guess time really does fly when you're having fun! We feel so blessed to have that little bug in our family! She is so much fun to have around and gets more fun every day! She is truly the light of our lives!

We celebrated her birthday on Sunday, while we were up in Washington with family. Here's a few photos of the shindig:

Kate's cake experience

PRESENTS!!!!

Here is what our one year old Kate is up to these days:

*Giving "loves" (hugs with pats) to everything, including the watermelon in our grocery cart today!

*Putting any toy she can find up to her ear, she thinks everything is a telephone!

*Practicing to become the next Dancing Queen, she LOVES music and never lets a tune slip by without gettin' jiggy with it first! Favorite singer? I guess she takes after her Aunt Rebecca, she LOVES James Taylor!

*Loving anything Elmo! She spots that dude a mile away and points and grunts!

*Jibber-Jabbering all day long, nothing coherent yet, but she sure tries. She also is just starting to really love squealing super loud! Fun for us!!!

*Baby signing like a maniac, she surprises us with new signs every day!

*Becoming a professional destructo baby, she loves to help me "fold" clothes!

*Clapping at anything anyone else claps at, including people clapping on T.V.

*Copy cat coughing. If she hears a sneeze, sniff, cough, or someone clear their throat, she has to let everyone know she is sick too, by coughing!

Happy Birthday sweet baby Kate! We love you!!!
