Happy 1st Birthday Kate!

It is hard to believe that Kate turned one yesterday! This year has truly flown by! She may be the most content baby ever. She is just goes with the flow... a perfect balance to our headstrong Emma. We celebrated her birthday with friends and family last weekend. She loved playing her new piano, opening gifts, and seeing all of her favorite people. She did not like her cake though! She redeemed herself last night as we celebrated again just the 4 of us!

She's a rolly polly and that's her preferred method of transportation these days. She'll eat about anything you put in front of her. She transitioned onto whole milk beautifully and loves her sippy cup. She'll shout out "mama," "dada," "baba," and say "mmmm" when she's giving a kiss. She occasionally will sign "more" and "all done." (Kate has not had quite the signing education as Emma did!). She likes to dance too!

We're actually driving to the Outer Banks, NC as I write and Kate has enjoyed seeing the world facing forward in her car seat. We head to the doctor after vacation, and I'll update the post with her stats!

Going to Papa and Grandma's

Emma went on a mini-vacation to Grandma and Papa's house! Papa's school was having their festival and Emma loved riding the cars, playing games, and having treats to eat! One of Emma's surprises was a new bikini! Too cute not to share!

Freckle!

Kate has the most precious freckle aka "beauty mark" under her left eye! Here's also a nice shot of her 2 teeth. We're still waiting on her top ones to make their debut!

Crazy little girl in her safari cape!

"I'm not too sure about this"

A little mousse for styling!

Ta-Da! And she still has all of her curl!

Memorial Day Weekend

Emma dressed to a "tee" for her first Memorial Tournament. We headed over for the practice round today. Emma kept shouting out "Another golfer Daddy."
We also headed to the zoo to check out the new polar bear exhibit.

Mmmmm.....Summer is here!

We headed to the pool a few times this weekend! How I love to rub sunscreen all over Kate's chunky arms and legs!!

Cleveland Rocks!

We headed to Cleveland this past weekend for the Indians/Reds game. We had a wonderful weekend together and the kids had a blast at the game and staying in the hotel. There were fireworks following the game and the girls enjoyed them.

Happy hour at the hotel before we left for the game!

Papa and his tribe of grandchildren!Take us out to the ballgame!
