Happy Birthday to Baby Katherine!
Our little girl turned one year today! We are back in Tucson, arrived on Mother's Day and have yet to unpack. This includes the camera and the battery charger. :) I am determined to get through the bags by the time Cousin Nathan gets here on Friday and Auntie Sussus gets here on Saturday!
Little Katherine loves to dance, loves music, and loves to sing into her microphone. She has a total of 2 cute little teeth on the bottom and 4 teeth on the top. She loves avocados, cheese, melon, and BLUEBERRIES! She will antagonize her older sister just when she sits down to draw or work on a project. Actually, she will crawl over to Maggie, poke her, spin around and crawl as quick as she can 3 or 4 feet, sit down and laugh! She did that at least 15 times in a row today. I think I am seeing the future. She is a warm spirit and everyone just loves it when she smiles. The woman behind us in line at Starbucks today said, "Wow... that smile just made my whole day. No... my whole week. She sure can make someone feel special." I was so touched. A special little girl who smiles with her whole being, crinkling up her nose and squinting her eyes. Amazing. Did I mention her pacifier? She loves them! It will put her to sleep in a few minutes where ever we are and since we have been traveling, I am grateful for that!
She loves to listen to Daddy's version of "This little light of mine" that includes words/phrases like 'monkeypants' and 'do a little dance'. She also plays this little piggy on her own toes mimicking the sounds of the rhyme. I heard her on the monitor, it was pretty amazing and cute. Hard to believe but she can tickle herself and laughs! She took her first few steps last week and is now cruising across the room. She is really fast at crawling and I have quickly childproofed the house here in Tucson. Not before she was half way up the stairs before I could turn around twice. She does have a really strong opinion and today threw herself face down on the floor kicking both of her feet, banging her fists on the floor, and yelling at me. The offense... I took a hairclip away from her.
We love our little baby Kate. She is a dream baby and a joy to see every morning. Happy Birthday sweet girl!
