Kate’s first birthday

I cannot believe a year has past. I have such vivid memories of being in labor with her… but then her first several months were a total blur. She has 4 teeth, babbles a ton and is on the verge of walking.

We held her first birthday at the beach house on August 11. We arrived down there on her actual birthday, August 9 and celebrated just the three of us with a little cake and lots of mess. I love that we took that evening just to be us. Baby girl, you are everything I dreamed you would be. Here’s to year two!
