Double Trouble
Auntie Hope and Molly arrived safely in Charlotte, today. After getting the cousins together and playing, we have visions of the future with two little girls getting into lots of trouble! ;-P

"Forward, BOUNCE!"
This past weekend, in preparation for cousin Molly's visit, we had to rearrange the back seat of the SUV. So, while we were at it, we turned your car seat around, Katy. Yesterday was the first time you got to ride in it, forward facing. I put you in the seat and you started looking around and then got a BIG grin on your face! You were very excited to be riding like a big girl- so excited that you didn't even fall asleep in the car on the way home from the store. I believe that you like facing forward because you can see more of the world going by and it's much more entertaining than looking at the back of the seat. You are growing up way to fast, Katy!

Getting ready for Molly
In less than a week, your cousin Molly and Auntie Hope are coming for a week long visit, Katy! We are so excited to have them come and keep us company. We've been busy getting ready for their visit. I ordered diapers online (for FREE, I might add :-D!). We are pulling out the other car seat and setting up the pack and play in the art room. Molly won't need to bring any clothes (except for the clothes on her back) as we have lots of hand-me-downs to share! Also in preparation for their arrival I've converted the high chair into a booster AND a high chair!
Speaking of high chair, I just want to say that the Graco Blossom chair is really awesome- it's one chair that can be converted into a high chair, booster, youth chair and seat two kids at once! http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3368240&CAWELAID=316031740
We can't wait to see you, Molly and Hope!

51st Week Birthday
"Thank you for my (early) birthday Dolly, Granny Petruzzi!" Today you are 51 weeks old, Katy!
From letting us know what you would and would not like to eat to letting us know exactly what toy you want to play with, you have definitely shown strong preferences, this week. For lunch, one day this week, I heated up some soup. I tried to feed it to you but you kept shaking your head know and twisting and turning away from the spoon. I finally gave up on the soup and heated up some leftover turkey and stuffing and- pun intended- you gobbled it right up! You point to your sippy cup when you are thirsty, now, too!
I fed you blueberries, this week. While you have had blueberries in things, before, you've never had straight blueberries, yet. YOU.LOVE.BLUEBERRIES! You ate almost half the container of blueberries in one sitting. I had to cut the blueberries in half before feeding you- I didn't want you to choke, Katy. Good thing blueberries are full of antioxidants.
You are walking more and more, Katy. While you still don't have the confidence to completely let go of whatever "walker" you are holding onto, you are walking further and more frequently without any assistance.
You are a curious little thing! You are into everything and every day I find something new to put up and out of the way. You love to open doors and cabinets. The pantry door does not click closed, so that means that even though it is shut, you can still seem to pry the door open and get inside to get into mischief!
Speaking of mischief, you are starting to climb more, too. You like to climb onto the step stool in the kitchen. You climb up the stairs as speedy as can be. You climb onto your bike like a pro. Also, when on the bed, you've actually turned yourself around so that your legs are first when you get close to the edge- you have an understanding of heights.
The two teeth on either side of the upper teeth are starting to come in. I do not know the names of these teeth, but they do seem to be bothering you some. I have noticed your bite getting stronger and better, though, now that you have both upper and lower teeth in the front.
You did GREAT in the church nursery, last Sunday. They didn't need to page Daddy or I and you were as happy as could be playing with the other babies. Speaking of the other babies, you like to give them "kisses." Daddy doesn't like this because the two babies, Wilek and Beckett, that you've tried to kiss so far, are both boys! Daddy says that for every boy you kiss now, he's adding a year to when you are allowed to start dating. I believe you are up to at least 34, now. ;-P

Pink Bows
February 2011When you were born, Katy, our friends decorated our house in honor of your arrival. My friends from work had a pink stork delivered to the front lawn announcing your arrival and our friend, Bethany Reeves decorated our front door with bows and balloons. The decorations made our house feel more festive and we felt so loved with the outward showing of our friends' excitement in your birth, Katy. Now, one year later, we STILL have the pink bows up on the front door! It has become something of a landmark when we give people directions to our house, "We're the house with the pink bows." I'm impressed that the bows have hung in there so long!
