Well this past year certainly has flown by!! Our little Kaitlyn turned one on Christmas Eve. So much has happened and she does something new everyday it is hard to keep up. I'll try to fill you in though. She is such a joy! I would describe her personality as cute, sweet, sassy, wild, and funny! She keeps us entertained and on our toes for sure! She's so funny and has been shy lately...she'll put her chin down to her chest and look up at you and sometimes tilt her head and put her shoulder on her cheek. She grunts when she wants something and is very persistent! She can bark like a doggy and make a sound like an elephant and do her arm like the trunk (Granny & Grandaddy taught her). She understands so much of what we say...she'll bring us stuff, she can high-five, and she points to the bathroom when we say "let's go brush your teeth!". And she'll even make this funny sound for the word Elmo (because that's who's on her toothbrush). It is absolutely presh. She plays more and more on her own. She loves her kitchen she got for Christmas and her other Christmas and Birthday toys (but we have stashed some away for later). She weighed 19lbs. at her 12 month. I think it's time to turn the car seat around soon!! Her poor little legs are way too long and have no room, lol! She says "Dada" all the time!! We have thought she's said a couple other words, but aren't sure. She'll repeat us when we say things too - the other day Mark was saying "yum, yum, yum" and she said it too:-) But we're not quit sure how to figure out what her first word is (I guess we'll go with Daddy - Darn it!;-)). She's so smart; a couple weeks ago I was looking for her hat and was trying to get out the door. I had given up hoping it was in the car and I said "Let's go Kaitlyn" and she darted off to the living room and I was getting anxious ready to go and went to get her when she was about to bend down and get her hat!! I didn't even know she knew what that meant. Too cute!! I can't wait until she can talk to us!! But some people say be careful what you wish for! Then I'm sure she'll tell us no, because she hears that all the time from us. She definitely tests us all the time. She knows not to touch the plant or the trash and she'll go for it and look back and wait for us to say something. Oh she is also sitting down!! It is seriously the cutest thing...her Granny showed me how she sits in her Princess chair and sometimes she misses, lol and then she will sit on the first step at home. It just blows my mind how much difference a year can make! Oh she is a pretty picky eater - I'm hoping it's a phase. But she loves fruits, cereal bars, puffs - mainly the sweet stuff. Sometimes I even hide some veggies and meat in her yogurt if she won't eat it otherwise. But she was really loving the chicken pot pie her Daddy made us this week!! We are having a ball! It's challenging at times, but we are living and learning and wouldn't change a thing. Happy Birthday too my sweet baby girl!! And many more...Love, Mommy.
