A YEAR, Already????

A year has gone by already!?!?
My sweet little baby is an entire year old! We had her birthday party on the 26th. My mom, dad, sister, and brother-in-law were able to fly down for it. :) I tried to keep it small and not go overboard but I went crazy trying to get everything perfect. I made not only her individual cake but 2 sheet cakes for everyone else. It wouldn't have been that big of a deal but my oven evidently wasn't reading the correct temperature and I have zero decorating skills so it was a challenge. My mom helped me smooth out the frosting but the crazy pink piping and sprinkles were all me. Katelin got so many great gifts! We have the best family and friends! Thanks to everyone that made the day so great.

Katelin had her 12 month checkup...
Height - 29.25" (55%)
Weight - 20 lbs, 9oz (48%)
Head - 45.5cm (65%)

We took her for her one year portraits... it seemed like half of the pictures, she was scrunching her face all up and the other half, she was trying to work out her escape plan and wouldn't sit still! Link to pictures is coming soon!

Katelin isn't waking yet but she's crawling all over, pulling herself up on everything, and "walking" around (cruising). She'll also "walk" all around the house while holding onto our fingers. One of these days, she's just going to take off running. She's saying mama, dada, rara (for our dog Roscoe), uh-oh, mmmmm (when she's hungry), hi (and possibly hey), bye-bye, and I think she's saying "I got" but I'm not 100% on that one. She also says ah-ma. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be mama and she gets confused or if she's trying to say grandma. We're so proud of our little (um, I mean big) girl!

Here are a couple pictures from her party. I'll upload more in the next week or so!

Happy Birthday To You!
