Our Little Climber

I don't think it was very long ago that Tony and I were talking, marveling really, at how easy Kaitlin was.  Where Tanner has always been very active, very curious, and very vocal in letting mom and dad know when he was upset, Kaitlin was more mellow, really smiley, so docile...  It's pretty amazing how different their personalities have been from the very beginning!!  Little did we know what a little taste of freedom would do to this little bundle of energy!!  :)  It was about a month and a half ago when Kaitlin started to be able to pull herself up onto her feet, and cruise along the furniture.  I think she really liked the freedom of being able to decide where she wanted to go, and finally being able to get there herself.  Now, she constantly needs to be exploring, or she lets us know that she's not happy.  Oy...  Well, within the past couple weeks, she's graduated from cruising, to climbing.... 


She figured out how to use Tanner's desk to climb onto our side table!! 
Daddy moved the desk so that she couldn't use it to climb onto the side table anymore.  But that doesn't stop our little climber!!  


Yay!!  She finally figures out how to sit in the chair like the rest of us.  She was super proud.  So were we...  :)

Next stop...  walking!!!  :)







Happy Birthday to Our Beautiful Baby Girl...

♥The Beautiful Birthday Girl♥
So our precious "littlest one" turned a year old last week...  (Side note:  That's Tony's nickname for her because 1)  She's the youngest and the baby of our family and 2) Her big sister and big brother were both bigger than her when they were her age.  :)  On her actual birthday, we kind of went low-key.  It was just the 5 of us, dinner, presents, and cupcakes for everyone!! 

Digging into her presents

 She even got to eat birthday cake, well cupcake, for the first time!!  Once she got a taste, she LOVED it!!  :)  Her big birthday party is tomorrow.  It's been so hectic preparing for it, but it will all be worth it in the end.  Happy birthday sweetheart!!  We love you so much!!
