In the evening, Jana pulled out the camera to get some pictures of our little girl on her first birthday. In the picture below, Kate is holding onto the remote control, which she loves to do. She likes to hold it up to her ear like a phone and say, "hello? hello?"
Kate has been patiently waiting for Drew to start feeling better, but every once in a while it was hard to keep her away from him. She missed her older brother making her laugh and interacting with her.
Kate walked over to Jana's shoes, knew they should go on her feet (she even got the correct foot), and spent a few minutes messing around with the shoes trying to get them on. What a cutie in her dress!
Kate is still learning how to sit in a dress, but she didn't do too badly in this picture :)
This isn't the greatest picture of Kate, but I wanted to show off our new kitchen floor. Last weekend while Drew was sick (it was great timing), I was busy installing a new floor in our kitchen. It turned out well, and we're thrilled with how it looks. 
Last night Drew wanted to read with me before bed and Kate decided to join us. Jana snapped some great pictures of the three of us reading on the couch. Kate was especially captivated by the book and she did a great job of paying attention and helping me turn the pages. 
Kate's still little enough that moments when both of them sit still and listen to a story are fairly rare. What a treat!!
Drew's still getting his strength back, so he eventually started to fade and leaned in for a snuggle with me and Kate.
Kate has been doing a great job with table food. She eats dinner with us now and is getting more and more of her nutrition from "grown up" food.
Kate still has six teeth, although the seventh one is starting to pop through. She does very well with chewing up food.
Drew started to feel better today. Yay! He was goofing around tonight and chatting away. It's great to hear his voice and see his silliness after several days of illness. In this picture he was pulling on his hood and making his ears look funny.
It is so nice to see Drew smiling, making jokes, and narrating his world again. It's rough when either Drew or Kate are seriously ill, and we're happy to be heading toward a healthy family again.
Kate has beautiful dark eyes with a hint of blue at the edges. They're such an interesting color (at least Jana and I find it interesting) and I think this picture actually came close to capturing her eye color. While it's still short, you'll also notice that Kate continues to work on growing some hair! Eventually she'll have some hair :)
I just took this picture tonight of Kate sleeping. She's a very light sleeper, so Jana and I crept in to check on her, snapped this picture, and then briskly left the room. We have been thrilled with our first year with Kate. She has been wonderful!
Tonight Drew was breaking off pieces of his roll to feed Kate. It was adorable. He loved feeding her and Kate couldn't get enough of the roll (she loves bread). We captured this video of the two of them in action.
