Kate's Birthday Party

We celebrated Kate's Birthday this weekend. We were so excited that her Uncle and grandparents that live out of town were able to be here for her 1st Birthday. We also had a special guest....the Easter bunny (aka Uncle Matt).

Kate with her face covered in icing....which she seemed to prefer over the cake itself.

What happens at grandma's house....

stays at grandma's house! Unless grandma takes photos. Kate is so lucky because she gets to spend every Wednesday with her grandma Charlie. Below are two pics at grandma's house. Kate is trying to grab her pink sippy cup from the fridge and gets caught in the action.

Family Fun!

Last week Grandma Boisseau was in town for a few days during her Spring break. Kate was so excited to spend time with her. We had a great time with grandma....but of course it went by too fast!

Kate and Grandma getting ready for bed!

Kate also got to see her cousin Cole Boisseau (my cousin Chad and Jenny's son) last week....here they are playing together!

Grandma Boisseau brought Kate a puzzle that was her Grandma Boisseau's when he was a little boy...Kate thought it tasted really good!

My Funny Valentine

Kate enjoyed her first Valentine's Day. She is still crawling all over the place, loves to pull-up on everything and she has started to take some steps if she has a push toy in front of her. Below are a variety of Kate pics that show her many moods.

Not sure what happened...but something made her very unhappy.

This ball pop-up toy is one of her favorites.

Not sure if she likes the toy or just likes to play with the balls.

Kate loves to play with any jewelry that I wear. I let her put on my necklace and she thought that was very cool!

I tried to get her to smile, instead I got this very serious look.

Okay not the best angle of Kate....but thought it was a cute shot of her Valentine bum!

Here is a pic of Kate reaching for the remote....she also loves our cell phones!

Big Girl

Kate is growing and changing everyday. She has mastered crawling and loves to cruise around the house. Below are a few pics of "big girl" Kate!

When Kate crawls and stops her legs do this move....I call it the cheerleader hurkey!

Kate is also starting to eat more solid foods...be sure and take note of the food in her hair.

Kate is pulling up on anything she can get her hands on...here she is picking out a book before bedtime!

This is one of Kate's favorite toys....she loves the music and lights!

Christmas Vacation

We really enjoyed our time with our family over the Christmas break. Here are a few pics of all of us during the Holidays.

Busy Weekend

We had a very fun weekend with Kate. Here are a few pics of the highlights.

On Saturday morning Kate had breakfast with Santa. Since this was the first time she has met him....she needed to check him out!

Kate got to spend some time with her friends Finley Kullberg and Charlie & Barrett Jennings. Here are all four kids by the Christmas tree!

We also had the opportunity to meet Sam & Ben Bleything (who were born the day before Thanksgiving)...here is Kate with the Bleything Twins!
