Birthday Girl

Kaitlyn's 1st Birthday

Kaitlyn got some new toys for her birthday. She was very excited to play with them out in the yard. It was so warm on her birthday that we had to have an outfit change after dinner...slightly different weather than the day she was born!

Kaitlyn the Cat Lover

Dusty allows her do this, but not for very long before she gets up and looks for shelter. Then Kaitlyn chases her around the house for a while until the cat decides she's had enough and goes under the bed.

Kaitlyn is going to be a year old in 13 days! Where has the time gone? She has 2 teeth on the bottom and 4 coming in on the top. She is eating everything we eat, but we still have to grind it up...well some things, like meat...she will keep a piece of meat in her mouth all night and never swallow it. I hope she doesn't take after my cousin Sarah!! She's not saying sentences, but she says things like mama, dada, bye bye, uh oh, hello, and various other random things. She babbles quite a bit. She likes to hold her cell phone up to her ear and "talk" to people. She's quite the little entertainer...actually, she entertains herself quite nicely. If she ever gets into her room she will go right over to the dresser, open the drawers, and start throwing all the clothes on the floor. It's a clothing thing, because when she helps me fold the laundry she does the same thing. She could be strangely content playing with pajamas, a onesie, or some socks. Her new thing is to strip down to her diaper during nap time. Obviously, I will be safeguarding against messes that no one likes to clean up by making sure she is wearing a onesie during nap time. I'm sure she'll figure out how to take it off at some point, but it might buy be a few months!
