Happy 1st Birthday

 

We celebrated Kaelyn's birthday a couple days early with our little family. Her birthday party isn't until this Saturday, but we couldn't let the day go by without celebrating the first year of our baby's life. She absolutely loved her Little Tikes Picnic and Playhouse and loved eating her first cupcake. She isn't too picky of an eater because she did try to eat the candle as well.

She wasn't a fan of Mom's homemade birthday hat!

First bite into the cupcake

Umm...Yum, Yum!

After she saw her new toy, we couldn't get her attention to

pose next to it...She was way too busy climbing the slide!

We spent the July 4th weekend at my aunt and uncle's lake house (Karl and Marlene) on Lake Limestone. With the Killian clan, there is always a lot of waterskiing and pyramid building going on. Kaelyn also got to ski for the first time with mommy and daddy. We think she might have beat the Perry record. She skied when she was 364 days old! Way to go Kaelyn!

Dear Kaelyn,
On July 6, 2009 at 3:41 p.m., our lives changed forever when we fell in love with you. From the beginning, you have been the sweetest little girl your daddy and I could ever ask for. You have the most bubbly personality and continue to be so easy and relaxed in any situation we put you in. When you smile, you smile with your whole body and light up the room. We can't believe how fast you are growing from a baby to a little girl. You never cease to make us laugh or to amaze us with how smart you are. We know that this is just the beginning of a lifetime of happiness because we are so proud to be your mommy and daddy. You have us wrapped around your little finger and we couldn't be happier! We love you with all of our hearts.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
