Happy First Birthday Kaitlyn

As I am typing this post I was in labor with my little girl one year ago today. Of course we were in Alexandria. This year has gone by way too fast. No one told me that in a blink of an eye you would not be a baby anymore, but a toddler. What? A toddler? Kaitlyn you are our little princess. We are so happy that you came into our lives one year ago today. You taught mommy and daddy a big lesson in... We will never be prepared or in-control of what you do. You are the happiest baby that we have ever met. Not a day goes by that you are not smiling or talking. You started out your life on vacation and maybe that is why you are so happy. The first few weeks of your life were pretty scary for mommy. You had to spend a lot of time at the doctor testing your bulirubin for the jaundice. During the winter you got to spend time with Daddy, but you always seemed to get mommy sick. You also like to go back to the doctor to treat your continuous ear infections. At first you hated the medicine and now you love it. I think Tylenol is your favorite or maybe you just like the little dropper. You are also very independent little girl. We tried to put the safety gate up for the living room, but you made it very clear you wanted full rein of the house. You have climbed the stairs by yourself in search of mommy. (Mommy still can't believe you didn't fall.) You a constant talker... one day we hope we can understand what you are telling us. You only like to feed yourself... you have made it clear you don't want us to feed you anymore. You drink juice from a sippy cup. Feed Cody on occasion from your high chair. You love playing in the kitchen cupboards. You love walks with mommy and Cody and eating grass while mommy and daddy do yard work.


Thank you for being our little girl.
