Someone's a whole year old!!!

Happy birthday Kaitlyn!!!!!  (Katie-poo.)  She turned 1 on Saturday and of course I can't believe it. 


She is honestly such a good baby.  It's funny when I think of the differences between when I had just Jenna to now Kaitlyn my 4th.  For example NOTHING interfered with Jenna's naptime, it was LAW.  Kaitlyn, yeah I try to be consistent and she is a superb napper, but I don't plan my life around it, you know?  Also with Jenna everytime I nursed her I had to go into another room, I just could not do it in front of other people, even under a blanket.  Kaitlyn... ummm yeah I nursed her everywhere, including at about 5 different restaurants, WHILE I was eating my own meal, that is talent right there! (of course she's been on the bottle for a couple months now.)  Then with Jenna I was very strict about sweets, her first taste of cake was on her first birthday.  Kaitlyn has had her fair share of sweets, I tried to hold off but when she has 3 older siblings who generously share their treats with her... plus a road trip to Arizona and oreos are the only thing keeping her happy... yeah. 

But one thing hasn't changed from my 1st to 4th... I love them to the ends of the earth and back. :) 

Kaitlyn at this age:
-been walking for about a month now.
-so easygoing.
-makes everyone laugh when she wrinkles her nose and and sniffs really hard.
-is a huge water baby, loves loves loves swimming.
-she is not a complainer, things just don't bother her and she doesn't get frustrated easily (for example when she was learning to walk and fell down ALL THE TIME she didn't cry at all, she just kept getting back up.)
-gets lots of comments on her pretty blue eyes.
-says "mama" "dada" "hi" and that's about it... but she certainly jibber jabbers lots.
-LOVES her brothers and sister.  Except when they sit on top of her (Logan).
-has two bottom teeth, one top tooth with another one on the way.
-goes to bed at 7:30 and wakes up around 8... once in a while she will still get up once at night for a bottle... no complaints here though.
-is pretty social but lately is SUPER clingy to mom.
-she's a complete joy and I love her to PIECES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Party with Nate's family. She is so lucky to have so many cousins who love her. :)

















Grandma with her oldest and youngest grandchild.


Celebrating with my family. More cake, could it get any better!


My childhood best friend, Haylee (oh man we had some great times), came over with her 15-month-old little girl Brinnley... isn't she cute!!

Haylee had some important news to tell me... she's having another baby!!!!! Congrats Haylee!!!! :)




Seriously my family is hilarious. My brother Preston was practicing for marching band and if you could only see what that triggered... my dad took the funniest video ever that I really need to get a copy of... but here is a good picture.


And that was that! Happy Pioneer Day to everyone!
