Kylee's 1st Birthday!

Our little Kylee-bug turned 1 on November 21st, and we had a family bash just for her. After George and I's success with previous cakes, I decided I was going to definitely make a 2 tiered princess cake for our little princess. The smallest top tier would come off and serve as the traditional "smash cake". Her cake turned out fabulous, and she enjoyed it thoroughly! Her gifts consisted of plenty of girlie stuff, including clothing, baby dolls, hair accessories, and books.

That being said, I can't believe how big she's grown! At one year of age, she has a head full of little curls-so much more than Brady (or Koda for that matter) had. At her birthday, she had no interest what-so-ever in walking, and now she RUNS everywhere!

Today, she's not the pickiest of eaters, but definitely has her favorites of chocolate milk, pancakes, raisins/craisins, ritz crackers, pb&j sandwiches, any type of chocolate/junk food, popsicles, strawberries (really, ANY kind of berries), and yogurt. If she spies a dress or hair accessory, she'll try to put it on (ie: around her neck) or in her hair. Occasionally, you can catch her being nice to her dollies and trying to feed them a bottle or wrap them in a blanket....however, it's much more common to witness her snatching her dolls out of her play stroller, drag them around, etc, etc. She got a little doll stroller/walker for her on her birthday, thinking she'd love it. Unfortunately, she hates when the dolls are in the stroller and will yank them out. It's become a bit of a game to see how mad she'll get when you place a doll in it :) Hey, a parent has to mess with their kids a bit! She is SO into books and wants you to read one whenever she brings one. She is IN LOVE with being outside. We took a trip to Arizona in March and she got spoiled, able to be outside all the time, no shoes or socks, in a onesie or shorts. She tries to escape out the door whenever it's opened. She also really loves going for walks in the jogging stroller. Now that it's warmer out, we've been taking family walks a few times a week. Once George gets the stroller out of the shed, she starts yelling and squirming, or running to get it if we're not holding her!

She really is the little girlie light of our life. Couldn't imagine our family without her. She's universally happy, and the boys are so great with their little sis :) Life really couldn't be any sweeter!
