1 Year Old!

My baby is 1! This last year seems like it has just flown by. Katelyn had a special birthday week. My parents came to stay on Tuesday and left Saturday morning. They brought a few presents to make the day special, but I don't know who had more fun with the toys, Daddy or Katelyn.

Wednesday night we had our home group and Tracy LaFollette loves Katelyn and gave her a little birthday party complete with the biggest cupcakes you've ever seen! Katelyn didn't know what to do with herself when all these people sang "Happy Birthday" to her. She sat down on the chair and looked like she was going to cry. Jason took her on his lap and had to show her how to put her fingers in the frosting. It took a while for her to get into it, but she did end up having icing on her face. It was so sweet we didn't let her have too much and she skipped the cake part. What kid wants cake when there is frosting! Tracy loves to buy these cute outfits for Katelyn and what would complete an outfit without a new set of shoes.

Thursday the Pellegrino grandparents joined the festivities for the day. We went to lunch at Rib & Chop, drove home only to have Katelyn sleep the whole afternoon away. We had to wake her up so they could see her for a little while. They brought her her first doll, some outfits and a pink horse on wheels that whinnies when you push the button. Grandma & Grandpa Derksen brought a Fisher Price Cd player, some books and a tea set that makes noise as it pours. Katelyn has had a lot of fun with her new toys. Today she got a little purple car she can ride and push as a walker. This week we're down at CWAM and I said that I would help cook since they don't have one, but since I'm so busy Katelyn needs something to occupy herself and this should help. She is busy walking all over the place but that only lasts for so long keeping her happy.
