We celebrated her first birthdy with a strawberry cupcake.

Doesn't she look thrilled? It was bedtime.

She hesitantly poked at it.


Jonathan tapped some frosting on her lips for a taste.

She didn't really like it.


Finally we broke it up and fed her a piece.

Katie's Birthday was a milestone for us as well.

We survived our first year of parenthood. Yay!

Happy Birthday Katie!

Ps, remember how we left Boston prego: #2 was a girl, we named Katie Mae, and she was born Oct 13'07..i thought your daughter was born on the 13th also (because of your post date.) So, I had to wish her a LATE Happy Birthday!! She's beautiful!

I am always amazed how fast the first year goes. And, I love that her favorite food is green beans. I'm sure that won't last, but it's nice that they enjoy healthy food for a while.

Will didn't even believe me when I showed him the pic of Katie!! She has grown so much. Give her some birthday love from us!

Wow! In that first picture, she sure looks like Marissa. Congrats on the big 1 year birthday! Enjoy the running (er, I mean walking). She's darling!

I can't believe that's my little granddaughter. I showed Leisa the video, we both laughed. Her little giggles, and bow-legged walk is adorable. I wish I could pop thru the monitor and give her hugs and kisses

awww Katie is SO big- she's adorable! LOVE all your posts- looks like things are fun down in Florida- we miss you guys! I'm glad you made it through the spiders alive- I probably would have died! Holy Cow those were huge and creepy!

I love that you made her a cupcake. I know people who order huge cakes from the store for a kid's first birthday and then give them about 25 presents. It's actually kind of sickening. One cupcake makes so much more sense. Her attitude says it all. Good pics.

She's adorable. Even though her hair is pretty light I still think she looks so similar to you. That year went by fast!
