I can’t believe how fast time has flown by! It’s hard to imagine that my little girl is almost a year old! She’s so fun to play with. She gets into everything – once I think I’ve finally gotten everything baby proofed  she finds something new to get in to. Here’s some pictures of Katelyn:

She is so funny she loves to talk on her phone. I love how she’s starting to share everything with Brad and I. Cheerios, toys, and lots of little hugs.

She loves to take off her socks – once she does she usually wants me to put them back on. I love to tickle and eat her little feet especially when she giggles.

We got a few pets for Katelyn to help entertain her during the day. A whole flock of birds! I save my leftover bread heels and crumble them up on the ledge outside our front window. Katelyn loves to watch the bird eat. We’ve got her saying ‘tweet tweet’ everytime she sees the birds. When ever we ask her if she wants to feed them she runs or crawls over to the couch and looks out the window. It’s so cute.

I can not for the life of me get her to keep a headband on. I’m hoping that she’ll get more girly and like things like that, but I think not. She’s her daddy’s girl through and through. She loves to play ball with him, play with toy cars, play on the computer, watch movies, eat… sometimes she’ll play with her baby doll – but usually only to pull out the bottle and make the baby cry and laugh about it. She’s a handful and definitely has her own personality and stubborn streak – which I’m sure she didn’t get from me. She can point to mommy and daddy’s nose, mouth, and eyes but she really won’t point to them on herself. She is walking, falling, running, climbing, crawling, and rolling all over the place. She’s growing up way too fast, but we’re loving every minute of it…except for her ability to find any small piece of anything on the carpet and eating it before mom and get it out of her mouth.

Oh a little side note – Katelyn had her first little boy kiss her last week. We were at a play group with some friends from our ward. This adorable little boy named Peyton was playing around all the babies and he would go around giving them hugs and kisses. If she’s already getting kissed before a year we’re in big trouble! Luckily she’s not to happy about people in her personal space and usually pushes them away – including me.
