14 Months

Katelynn is 14 months old today. Before I know it, she'll be graduating from high school! Her current loves are reading books, playing with anything that makes music, and getting into the kitchen cabinets. I think she's just under 30 inches tall, and she might be over 20 lbs, but we don't have another check up for a while so I'm not sure. We've just about finished transitioning from formula to milk, and she is officially down to one nap a day. She continues to love other kids and Hannah the dog, but is not so fond of babysitters in this separation anxiety phase. :)

Cute Pics

The other day, this bright yellow truck was doing some work on the cable lines, and Katelynn was just fascinated. She kept running back to the window to watch.
It also happened to be the day she was in a dress, which is a rarity and not the most functional attire for a very active 1 year old. But she was sure cute.
After Christmas we ordered another big kid car seat so that we could have one in each car. But obviously the best part of the package was the box.
She has figured out how to get on and off of her new horse, and she loves to push it around the kitchen, but she still doesn't get how to make it move while she's on it. :)

New Year, Same Outfit

Yesterday, in honor of Katelynn Day, I decided to dig out the outfit she wore the day we brought her home in...
7 weeks old - about 9 lbs
7 months old - about 15.5 pounds
1 year & 7 weeks old - about 19 pounds
It's a little short in the sleeves and pants, but she could totally get away with wearing it. :)

Happy Katelynn Day

One year ago today marks what I'm pretty sure is the most important day of my life: the day I became a mom. I'm teary as I look at these photos, remember that day, and realize how incredible it is to have my little girl. What an awesome gift we received. It's been a challenging year with all that comes with being a first time mom, but Katelynn is the joy of my life.
