Our Little One Year Old





































Katie has grown and changed so much in this first year. Weighing in at 23 pounds and just shy of 31 inches, she has grown quite literally. Katie has become quite social, often initiating interactions with older kids and even adults. She loves climbing things whether they be boxes, playground areas, stairs, or ledges, and she has a bit of a daredevil streak. One of her favorite thingsto do is slide down the slide head first face down. The faster, the better! She walks some independently, but prefers to hold on to one of our hands. She loves to bee bop to music and turns almost anything in our house into a drum (the fruit of her music class??). Katie can often be found pulling all the books off of the shelf and then sitting and leafing through them as if she is reading them. Every day is a new adventure with her. We are so grateful for the gift of her life. Here are some pictures from her first birthday party that we held at Monte Sion where Ben works.
