Happy first birthday!

My little girl turned ONE on Oct. 30th. What?? Already???? One year went by so fast--even faster than Landon's first year. Why is it that on my kids' birthdays I want to cry and just hug them so darn close--they grow up so fast.

Seems like yesterday I was cradling her in arms like this

Now she's turning into a little girl and leaving the baby stage behind.

She wasn't to keen on getting dirty, but Landon grabbed a corner and showed her how.

Sharing with everyone

And so much happier to have the fork do the dirty work:)

Big brother Landon helped open the presents. Thanks to all who sent cards and presents.

And thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Davis and Aunt Lindsie for flying in to celebrate.

We Love you Katelyn Jane and are so blessed to have you in our lives. You are the most amazing little girl and the best little sister to Landon b/c you forgive him for the little bumps and bruises he gives you and continue to play with him. You love to be cuddled and always back up into our legs when you want held (darling). You make the funniest little lip-smacking noises and love to blow wet slobbery kisses and give high fives. You walk all over the place and are getting faster and faster. The outdoors is where you want to be. If the door opens and you don't get to go out you throw the biggest fit which makes us laugh because you always walk up to us and pull our pant legs and throw back your head and wail. Guess you want to make sure we are paying attention :) Stranger or no, you wave to everyone which puts a smile on their faces. Soon you will be parting ways with your binky, but I think you'll do ok without it since you are not overly attached to it:) Thank you Katelyn for a wonderful year and we just love to watch you grow.
