Kara's First Birthday!

Well, my little girl is officially one! It seems like just yesterday I looked at her for the first time and fell in love. I can't believe how much this little treasure has completely taken over my heart. She is my daily joy and pleasure. It's just so hard to describe how much I love this little girl!

She has been pretty sick the last few days, running a fever almost all day on Saturday. On Monday, she just wanted to be held and lay her head on my shoulder. It was sad to see her so miserable on her birthday. She is most likely suffering from teething. But I'm worried she might also have a slight ear infection. She seems to be doing better lately.

I did want to share pictures from her first birthday party. Since Gracie, her 3 yr old cousin shares the same birthday, we combined their parties.

She didn't really care for her cupcake that much.

Trouble!

Well, I guess she must have figured that my tupperware cabinet needed cleaning out. She's so helpful.

You should see the mess she's made on my kitchen floor!

Mischeivious Monkey!

So in addition to discovering how cool it is to drop Cheerios from her high chair, Kara has discovered how to climb to get the stuff that mommy purposely put out of her reach...

This was the last picture I snapped before rushing to get her down. Silly kid!
