Happy Birthday Katie!

Katie's first ride in her car seat facing the front.  She was so excited and we love being able to see her.

 Her partner in crime.  Ready for some playtime at the park.  No we did not style his hair that way.  That is what he looks like when he wakes up in the morning.

 All worn out after playing at the park.  Katie really loves to swing and slide right now.  She also enjoys climbing anywhere she can.

Teddy Bear Thursday - 52 Weeks

Fifty-two weeks.  Somewhere I missed a week.  Sorry Katie.  

Katie is now walking with a little support and on her own when she wants to.  She is blowing bubbles, talking more and more, pointing at everything and climbing.  We love to see her smile and giggle.  She is such a sweet little girl.  

Katie is now 30 in and 21 lbs 1 oz.  She is almost the exact same size that Austin was when he was one.  She is only a few ounces smaller, but same height.

Happy Early Birthday Katie!

 We had multiple birthday celebrations for Katie.  We celebrated with both families and then had a small family celebration on the actual day.  Here are some pictures from the parties.

  Before and After.  

Katie did a great job tearing apart her cake.  She was not afraid to just go for it.

Celebration at Nana and Pa's house with cousins.  

Katie got a water table for her birthday.  Austin and Katie both love it.

Teddy Bear Thursday - 49 & 50 Weeks

Forty-nine weeks. Katie is showing more and more personality everyday. Our favorite right now is her laugh where she sticks our her tongue and kind of coughs and laughs at the same time. She is also imitating noises that we make. It is too funny.

Fifty weeks. We have an ongoing game of monkey see, monkey do at our house. Austin and Katie like to take turns being the leader. In this picture Austin is making a face at Katie and then laughing. I caught her in mid laugh. Wish you could see the whole interaction.
