It has been a busy week...here are the highlights of Kate's world. She was given a massive amount of clothes, which she enjoyed "sorting" through.

In the mix a bright purple sweat suit was found and tried on as a tribute to Uncle James' Barney-colored outfit he adored as a child.

I frequently find this sweet girl walking around the house singing her little heart out both to music I may be playing or her own that she simply makes up on the spot.

I heard some giggling yesterday in the direction of our stairs. As I approached this is what I found...my 12 month old is already "texting"!

As a bonus, today Kate's mysterious 2 week fear of the bathtub has miraculously disappeared. Can't keep this girl away from the tub and she has found a new love for splashing. She also learned to kick a ball today, but there is not a picture to prove this...

Sunshine & Rain

Saturday: So our little family of three thoroughly enjoyed the weather this Saturday. After gathering her purse in preparation for an exhilarating trip to Home Depot for flowers to fill my flower boxes, Kate & I had a picnic in the backyard after enjoying a lovely walk in the neighborhood...Yes, she walked & refused to let me hold her. What a big girl! She later pranced around the house attempting to put on her new pretty shirt from Auntie Kortni...for 30 minutes straight. We wrapped the evening up with a fun filled time at Swanky Franky's to hear the Lil' Demicks band play. Esther & Kate did have fun even though it looks otherwise.










Tuesday: Today was wet and rainy with gusts of wind, so no walks outside were in store. However, we did make a quick shopping stop at Old Navy where Kate helped me choose a small something for the newly arrived Lillian Grace. We had a blast. Before coming inside for the night we ran into the rain for some spinkles on our smiling faces and caught a bit of our first rainbow of the year reminding us of the faithfulness of our God!

Busy Thursday

I am a little behind...Here are the highlights of our Thrusday together: Kate had a busy morning of attempting to flush the toilet as well as taking the Strawberry Shortcake balloon (yes, it is still around) on a walk by the hand. Kate then had her 12 month check up, which she thoroughly enjoyed since she was in the "Nemo" room. Afterward, we headed to the park for a stroller ride...She loved watching the obnoxious seagulls flying around, was enthralled with watching the big kids on the swings & even enjoyed her first playground experience! So glad that spring is finally here!
