Suddenly 3

I sure love this little girlie. There are so many things I could say about her. I remember the first week she was born, I was staring at all her perfect little features and wondering what her personality would be as she grew older. I can honestly say that she is so very, very different from what I imagined...but I wouldn't have her any other way. I pictured a quiet, almost timid little blonde girl. Well, she turned out blonde, but definitely not quiet and most definitely not timid. This girl is full of life!

The Birthday Bash!
We chose to enjoy the rare sunshine on Katie's birthday, and have her party at the park. It was very cold, but I'm glad we did it. I only wish I had been able to take hot chocolate with us. We had a few friends there with us which I think was really important to Katie. She is very social and loves to have friends around for everything. At the end of the day, I asked Katie if she had a good birthday and what her favorite part was. She said with out missing a beat and with surety, "Eating cake." I don't know if any other human being loves cake more than Katie does. She lives for cake. It was such a fun day and I loved watching my Katie-baby "get into" all the festivities.
