Playing Catch-Up...

Unfortunately, mom left on Sunday. We had so much fun with her here!!! I have had a head cold ever since she left so I have mainly lazed about since Sunday, but now it is time for a bit of catch-up...


Last Thursday was so crazy with the Unity release the same day as Kat's birthday that I didn't get any birthday photos posted and I know that you want to see those (well, even if you don't, I am going to share them anyway!) :o)

She was very happy, but how can you not be happy when the whole day is focused on you!!!


Like I mentioned before, the whole theme of the party "Ladybugs" was featured around the print on her dress. We made the cupcake toppers and birthday sign using the Little Lady stamps from PaperTrey Ink.



She felt like the tiara was a little too much for her outfit.

I know that I should have let her dig in, but the problem with a pretty party dress is that you (meaning me) don't want it to get ruined.

She got this huge Elmo chair for her birthday. She wasn't too sure about it at first, but she has warmed up to it now.

Jacob was in charge of helping her unwrap her presents.
Mom and Dad got her this great car. It has all kinds of activities to play with on it, but best of all...it plays music. She stands beside it dancing at least half the day. She LOVES music!!!

Having fun with Nana.

Saturday was absolutely a perfect day here in North Carolina so we decided to head out to the park for a picnic and photos. It was so fun and relaxing.
Nana sharing her Chick-fil-A sandwich.

Kat and I hanging out on the blanket.

Jacob playing in the fountain.

Kat showing us where her nose is.

This isn't the greatest photo, but if you look really closely here you can see that both of Kat's hands are holding that brochure (what? you don't carry flea brochures around in your stroller?!? One too many trips to the vet where Kat was bored...LOL!) But back to the photo...she's not walking yet, but she is definitely standing.
It was a good week! BTW, you can click on the photos to see them better.

Awesome photos! She is absolutely gorgeous and Jacob sure has grown into a handsome young man. They grow way too quickly. Austin will be in high school next year which just freaks me out!!
I love that picture of standing with the brochure - almost like she's holding a map and wondering where to go next.
Have a wonderful day.
Blessings,
Sandy :)

Very cute photos.

The party looks like it was a good one! Only a mom would worry about the party dress! Hope you're feeling better soon. You must be getting close to moving now - good luck!

What a perfectly darling little birthday girl! You got some wonderful shots -- love the first one of course, and the ones of your mom with Kat. And the pointing out the nose photo is so darn cute!

Glad you enjoyed your mom's visit and that Kat had such a wonderful b-day!

Just wanted to say a belated happy birthday to Kat. Sounds like you had a great day. Very impressed with her knowing where her nose is!
Take care and good luck with the move.
