Happy 1st Birthday Kate!

Ok...for some reason my pictures are in front of everything I wrote. I've done that before and I have always been able to move it. It's not working right now. You can enjoy these pictures of Kate's 1st birthday and then read about after! Enjoy!

Kate was upset here because she couldn't reach her balloons.

This was after her party. She was just laying there looking at stuff :)

Here was her cake after she "ate" it.

Don't you just love the cake all in her fingers?!?!

We started out just barely touching the cake.

About to blow out the candle.

I loved her cake.

In the pictures her cake looked really small, but it wasn't.

Abby wrapped Kate a gift from her. I had no idea what it was. It turned out to be a book (that was actually my book when I was a little, little girl that I gave Abby) and a stuffed little dog. Kate loved it!

I meant to post this about a month ago, but like I've said...it's been busy! My baby had her 1st birthday on June 9. It is so hard to believe that it has been 1 year since I had her. She looks so different than she did when I first laid eyes on her. When she was born she had this curly, DARK brown hair and she looked like a little Indian baby. As you can now see, it is NOT dark brown. It's blondish with a red tint to it. She got that red tint from me. Everytime I go in to get my hair highlighted, Jody, my stylist, says that I have a red tint to my hair and I say GET IT OUT!!!! No offense to people with red tints of any way in their hair, but it just doesn't flatter me at all! Back to Kate...her hair is still curly when it is wet and if I would let it dry withOUT combing it, it would curl. But it's not a pretty curl, more of a messy wave, therefore I brush it when it's wet. We have come so far to the little one who had that little cry and would ball her fists up. Actually she still does cry and ball her fists up, but the cry now is MUCH louder. She has quite the little temper (she in NO way gets that from me! ha) that matches that red tint in her hair! She also no longer looks like a little Indian baby, she is very fair skinned!

She had a wonderful birthday and a lot of fun.

What are you doing at a year old Kate?
