Birthday, cabin and having fun

Since I haven't posted any pictures of Katelyn's first birthday, I figured it was about time. Here she is getting excited about a new outfit. Who knew she would get excited about clothes. Maybe she'll be the family fashion consultant.Her cousins gave her a cute Carebear and she absolutely loved it. You can see that she's excited, or at least concentrating in getting it out of the bag. It's soft. That says enough. She has a soft blanket that she can't get enough of and screams and snuggles into it every time she sees it.
Here is Katelyn's cute flower birthday cake that Dave's mom helped me with. Isn't it beautiful? I thought she would dive right in, but she was hesitant and wondered what all the pink stuff was that got on her fingers when we "helped" her.
When we ask Katelyn, "Where's your nose?" this is the face that we get. It's usually accompanied with little sniffing noises and we just laugh and love it every time.

We're training her to love roller coaster rides. Look, it's working!
Dave's family has a cabin in the mountains that we love to visit. We were there a couple weeks ago and saw some of the leaves changing colors. It was just beautiful!

I don't remember how this started, but Katelyn loves to pose. If we put our hands together next to our faces and ask her to pose, this is what we get. Isn't she adorable?
Another picture mom?
Here's Katelyn's little stink bug position that she sleeps in every night and of course, she's snuggled up to her blanket.
