Happy Birthday, Kallie!

1 year ago today Kallie came into our lives. She has been such a sweet addition to our family.  She is pretty shy and very watchful.  We often tease people that she is staring them down because she'll look at them for so long.  She is quick to smile once she warms up to you, although sometimes it takes her quite a while to reach that level of comfort.  She has 2 teeth (height and weight stats to be updated after her dr's appt) and walks like a champ.  She loves music and snuggles and most especially her big sister Julie.  I love this little girl!

Here are some of pictures of her from the past year - there's a lot, in part to make up for a year of not blogging.

Daddy/Daughter: Love at First Sight

First time Julie and Kallie met - Julie couldn't have been more thrilled

Blessing Day

Kallie loved this play mat so much more than Julie did...
she would giggle and giggle at the dangling toys

about 3 months 

Love my sleeping beauty - about 5 months

Julie includes Kallie in all games, including
hide and seek in the linen closet

how cool is she?  :)
