And she is ONE!



She is ONE!  Unbelievable!
she is a CLiMBER!  On anything and everything, she could care less.  In her eyes everything is climbable.
She is CHEeKY!
She is DELIGHtfuL!
She is super SWEet!
She finds joy in making you laugh and when she sees you laughing she will do it again and again and again.
She can RUN!
She can stand on her TIPPIE TOES!
She can Clap HANDs!
She loves being up to MISCHIEF!
She decides to ignore the command of 'NO'.  She knows what it means cause she will shake her head but keep doing it anyways.
She is a GOOD sleeper!  I can pop her down with a bottle and she will settle herself.  She naps twice a day around 9 and then 2 and sleeps for around 1.5hours or less.  She goes to bed at 7 and sleeps till 5:30 when she asks for a bottle and then snoozes till around 7ish.
She Loves FOOD!!  And is pretty adamant about feeding HERSELF.  I have not really come across anything she doesn't like.
She loves to CUDDLE!
She loves to give KISSeS!  She stretches her mouth as wide as it can go and plonks the wettest soggiest but most adorable kisses on your mouth .... or nose!!  haha
She LOVEs her SISTER!  They are getting to the stage where they will chase each other, catch each other and roll over and laugh and laugh, so sweet!!!
Her favourite toys - tv remote controls or the telephone *sigh* or any of Katie's favourite breakable toys oopsies.
She waves BYE with both hands at the same time and saying 'bye byyyye byyyyye'
She has a head full of adorable hair with the sweetest curls!
she can Blow although not strong enough to actually get the birthday candle out, but she tried hehe.
She weighs about 10kg
she can seriously turn my house upside down in record time!  She doesn't really sit and plays, she picks things up and walks and walks and walks around with the thing till something else catches her eye, then she just drops the current toy to get the new one.
She still puts EVERYTHING in her mouth.
she had a good birthday day, now for the party on sunday!!!



she thought the best idea was to kill the candle light with her fingers doh!  Tough being a single mum and trying to get photos while no one is close to make sure she doesn't touch the candle!


Just a super quick tiny cake for the day.  This seriously is so easy to make!!  It is called a mug cake cause you are supposed to make it in a cup, but I wanted more of a cake look so made it in one of our cereal bowls!  recipe is here at Scrapboutique!




Looking at her trying to blow the candle out - so cute!!


And her adorable tutu I bought, so cute!!



we had a beautiful day!
