We spent the weekend celebrating our Kate's first birthday in Madison! I caught Kate's cold, but that's okay -- it was well worth it to get to kiss on that cute little face!
She still takes a while to warm up to us, but she smiled and waved (she's got that beauty queen wave down pat) at us when we arrived! If you can get her away from her mom and keep her occupied, she's pretty happy -- but one look at Casey, and she's gone!
Everything was "cupcakes" for her birthday, including cute little cupcake lights that Nanna Kaye got for the party! I got her the cupcake PJ's for Valentine's Day -- and she even had a "cupcake cake" (it's made from a silicone cake form I gave Casey for Christmas). And Casey made the smocked cupcake dress that she wore.
Kate actually handled all the attention and people very well, but she was so tired at the end of the day. All the families came -- and with friends, it got kind of crowded in the house! She loves the slide her PawPaw and I got her -- plus a few other things! But that's the fun of getting to be a grandparent -- spoiling the child! The parents can straighten her out later!
She's just beginning to walk -- and she loves anything Elmo (from Sesame Street). She got an Elmo talking phone, and she kept holding it out toward the TV like she was trying to turn on her Elmo DVD! If she points at the TV, that means "turn on Elmo!" She also loves books and got several as gifts. Probably her favorite gift was the Little People Farm Set great-grandma MawMaw got her! Her PawPaw loved that, and he let Kate play in the back of his truck
Her official birthday is the 24th, and we all wish her a wonderful first birthday and many more to come! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATER!
