On the eve of her birth she leaned against the walker and began to walk. Shad and I almost died! She cruised up and down the living room and kitchen just following the walker and with Reilly in tow. She hit a couple detours – when she tried to walk under the kitchen table – she quickly learned she was too tall.

Her birthday was great – we had a bunch of friends and family over for and early dinner and cake and ice cream. There were 3 Kates at the house today. Baby Kate, Sister Kate, and Diana’s daughter.

Kate LOVED her first piece of chocolate cake – she even licked the plate – which I know she learned from Shad!
