favorite things

Dear Cate,

Today I'm going to write to you about your favorite things.

1. Olivia

Olivia's first day of school

You would rather read a book than watch tv...unless Olivia is watching tv

Adventureland...can you believe we live only a mile away?!  Every kid's dream:)

2.  Smiling (when you feel like it)

3.  Keton's head

You got so sleepy at the fair, you started rubbing your cheek on Keton's head.

4.  Grandmas and Grandpas/ Papa and Nana

Chilling with Great Grandpa Harm.  You passed on the coffee.

Piling leaves on Papa  (this was following your HUGE temper tantrum that we ignored.)

5.  Hand sanitizer

These are a few of your favorite things.

Love,

mom

Uhh?

Dear Cate,

Today you sang "let it go" while raising your arms.  You do that each day.
You also say "Uhh?"  Uhh means binky, let it go, and food.

You like everybody's toothbrush better than your own.

Olivia loves to trip you, but does not want you to break a bone.
Olivia wants to be a doctor someday so she can give you shots.

You pat our backs when you want yours patted.

things you love:  books, Olivia's things, climbing, smiling.  

Love, mom

1!

Dear Catey woo woo, (Olivia's nickname for you)
You're 1!

If you don't know already, mommy and daddy went to Disney World and Port Canaveral without you.  I know you're thinking that sounds cruel and unusual, but we did that with good intentions...we scoped it out so we could plan our family vacation here someday.  Someday you will actually THANK us for going on this planning-for-the-future-vacation.  I did not include any photos with princesses, so you wouldn't feel bad:(

When we got back, it was 3 degrees outside.  We came back to Christmas with the family.

HoHoHo Nana:)

Great grandpa Hal won the gold medal in senior Olympics basketball this year. 

You went right to him:)

Uncle Brian, cousin Ava, puppy, and you

Now that you're almost 15 months old, you are (cautiously) walking.  

Love my snotty-nosed, snuggly, smiley, and blue-eyed cautious baby.  

Love,

Mommy
