Birthday party!!!

Kaitlyn's birthday party was on Saturday, the 23rd at the fire hall in Ord.  We sent out invites to our family and friends.

Set-up for food!  We had all PINK everything

Pink vanilla and strawberry cupcakes with pink icing

Pink rice krispies

Pink candied popcorn

Pink animal crackers

Pink strawberry punch

Pink lemonade

You loved the pink balloons!!!

You also loved the cake!  

We ate first and then opened presents.  There were too many things going for you to open a present completely.  You are so loved!  We brought home a car load of presents that filled our living room once again (Christmas was the same way). Your favorites are the cookie monster and block sorter.

You were such a mover!  We took 1 year pictures that morning, so you only got a short 1 hour nap before your party.  Mom had a hard time getting you to settle down to go to bed at 8!  You were wired!

1 Year Old!

At 12 months, Kaitlyn:

• is walking everywhere!  She uses a 'wide' stance, but is getting faster.  If she falls down, instead of crawling, she'll actually take the time to stand back up!
• Doesn't get a bottle anymore.....we've moved onto the coveted sippy cup!
• No longer gets formula (switched this week). 
• Has had peanut butter and eggs in the last week.  She loved both!
• Talks and babbles a lot.  She says 'dada', 'mama' when she's mad, and 'yeah'.  If you ask her a question, she'll respond with a yeah.  When she gets tired, she's started to say what sounds like 'no'. 
• Has developed a sudden interest for our dog, Buster.  Now that she's walking, she'll following him all over when he's downstairs. 
• Is attached to blankie.  She's not specific, but needs one for nap and night.  She won't go to sleep without one. 

1st time 'playing' in the snow!

Happy Valentine's Day

She decided to climb in the dryer one day since she couldn't reach

the dryer balls like normal.  She was more than willing to share when she got caught!

Happy Birthday!!
