Hi !!!!!

What a piece of cake !

Mmmmmm ! Heavenly !

My Wagon ! A gift from Grandma and Grandpa.

Kathryn's birthday cake just for family.

Happy 1st Birthday Kathryn !!!! Mommy and Daddy came into your bedroom this morning to wish you a happy birthday as soon as you got up. It was so cute how you just flashed us a smile like you new it was your birthday.

We decided to have a cake tonight just for the family. Mommy got a great picture of you with the whole piece of cake in your hand and your smooshing it into your mouth. What a mess to clean up but it was worth it. You love the happy birthday song but unfortunately your birthday only comes once a year and I don't want to confuse you by singing it all of the time. Also, I don't know if you'll expect presents or cake afterwards. Ha ha !

Oh Iforgot to mention how your developing. You're 21lbs 1314ozs and 29.5 inches. Also, you are now on all milk, no formula anymore. Your on mostly table food but there are some baby foods that you still eat to get enough nutrition and they make for great snacks. You can now stand by yourself for 10-20 seconds. I caught you standing in the kitchen waving at the trash one day. How cute ! Your also trying to bear crawl still. It's adorable to see with your heinie in the air. Keep it up babe! We've definatley been cheering you on. Your sayig a couple morewords now like Uh Oh and Yum. We're trying to make you say the name of things before we'll give them to you. You've been pointing so much and making sounds that we are naming things or you so you can learn what to call them. You love conversations. You'll say just about anythingto give responses to questions.

Father's Day - June 18, 2006

Daddy woke up to a wonderful present from you. A picture of you on a Harley. Daddy was very excited and we put it on the mantel for everyone to view. Daddy also wished he could have been there for the photo shoot. There was a picture of you with the Harley Bear as well and then we had some regular pictures of you taken for records. They were all so adorable but what do you expect from such an adorable baby.

We went to the Como Zoo again and this time you were very interested in the animals. The Giraffes and Zebras were out this time for you to view. I think that you really enjoyed the Polar Bears most of all. We also saw a Sea Lion Show and you were so happy that you got to clap and say Yaaaaahhh !. It was so cute to watch you participate.
