Her 12th month went by so fast and I truly don't remember many of the details! We played a lot and got stronger and stronger! She is clapping her hands and waving them up in the air along with us. She is still getting used to the idea of finger food, and we are slowly working on weaning to cow's milk and a bottle of formula at night (to make up for a not yet balanced diet). She still loves her books, and is busy busy! On the move always!
For her birthday, Blake and I took her to the Downtown Houston Aquarium. She LOVED it! Her favorite part of the zoo is the fishes so I've always wanted to take her to the aquarium. It's definitely an overpriced adventure but it was a fun treat for her birthday. The best part is that unlike the zoo, the many of the aquariums go down to the floor so she could stand up and walk along to see the fishes better. (Much more fun than us having to lift her up the whole time!) We ate at the restaurant and she loved watching the fishes swim around while we ate. It was a great day celebrating her first birthday and our first year as parents!
A few days later Blake's parents came into town and we got to have a small birthday party with both sets of grandparents! There was plenty of love and attention given to Kate!
And of course... we tried some cake for the first time! Kate wasn't very impressed with it. I had full intentions of making her her own little cake but I ended up having an allergy attack (of COURSE!) that weekend and cupcakes were the best I could muster up on top of a yummy dinner!
Simple= more fun to be had
To wrap up this post, I want to share some more pictures from Kate's first year photo shoot.
"When I hold you in my arms, Love
something changes
it's the strangest feeling
the things that used to matter
they don't matter to me
When I see you
and you're smiling
how my heart aches
so full it is about to break
you make me believe in love
I could never count all the ways that you've changed me, Baby
Every day is a deeper shade of blue
when I'm with you
When I hear you, and you're crying
it resonates, Dear
in a place I didn't know was there.
You make me believe in love.
I could never count all the ways that you've changed me, Baby
Every day is a deeper shade of blue
when I'm with you
Beautiful Baby
You're sweeter than strawberry pie
Just like the morning
Your smile brings the sunshine.
I could never count all the ways that you've changed me, Baby
Ever day is a deeper shade of blue
when I'm with you"
- JJ Heller (When I'm With You)
