Bebe

Kate loves the baby doll Mom and Dad gave to Beedoh and me to tell us we would have a new family member. Kate hugs "Bebe" and rests her head on her. She rocks her in the rocking chair and puts the phone up to her ear. She is adorable!

I am so disappointed Kate won't let me put cute ribbons and bows in her hair anymore. If I even pretend to put something in her hair, she reaches up and pulls it out. I managed to put her hair in pigtails for about a half an hour today--just long enough to snap some photos of Kate and Bebe

Happy Birthday Kate!

I can't believe my little baby is 1 year old. She is walking and chattering in her own language and has been so happy the last few weeks. We were in CA for Val's wedding over Memorial Day and then we were in Seattle for Kate's first birthday on 9.7.08 (ignore the date stamp on the photos). Kate and I are quite the travelers! Kate has made 23 individual flights, nearly all of them we have done alone-without Daddy. I'm exhausted! Kate spent her first birthday with Nana, Great Nana, Papa Craig, Great Grandpa, GiGi, Great Uncle Mark, Great Aunt Judy, Brent, Ella and Lilly. She spent almost an hour climbing in and out of her stroller and laughing over and over again.

Today we had a party for Kate. Her friends Ryan, Addison, Mimi, Irene and Anthony and their moms and dads all came to our house.

Kate wasn't too interested in her first cake, but she loved the pizza!
