Happy Birthday, Baby!

I can't believe it! Kate is one! What a big girl. I can't even begin to summarize what a joy and blessing she has been in our lives, and I never knew how much love I was capable of until the day she was born. Every day we are thankful to have her in our lives, and although she is growing up way too quickly, it is a privilege to watch her learn and grow.

We are so proud of you, Kate, and love you more than you will ever know. Happy Birthday, sweet girl!!!

Kate took her first step a couple days ago too! She didn't get very far, but she let go of the chair she was holding on to, took one step, and grabbed my hand! I was so proud of her. What a big girl.

When Kate woke up this morning, Jeff and I went in to her room to sing Happy Birthday to her. After her bottle, we packed her up and took her out to breakfast at the Ballard Street Cafe.

Such a big girl in her forward facing carseat!



They made her her own special birthday pancake!



Num Num!!



Dropping her off to go to work.



We don't really have any plans this evening. Jeff probably won't get home from work until after Kate has gone to bed, so we'll see! Kate and I will just celebrate alone tonight.

Happy Birthday Kate!
