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.

Sunshine

We had gorgeous weather here in Seattle on MLK day, so Tucker, JT, Katelynn, and I took a walk to the playground at the local library. Four months ago when we moved here, there wasn't much she could do at this park, but now that she's highly mobile she loved it!

First Birthday Party Take 2

We spend about two weeks in Montana with family for the holidays. So Katelynn got to have a second first birthday party! Thanks to Casen and Spring for the use of their house, and to all of the grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and Mollys who attended. This time we went for the red velvet cupcakes...
And Katelynn enjoyed another round of presents:)
