We celebrated Katie's birthday a week early. We headed up to Whidbey to enjoy some time as a family. Katie hasn't really been into attention on her or her birthday, so we decided to just have a small, casual celebration. Little did we know that she would EAT IT UP and she decided it would be fun to celebrate her birthday for a week.
Katie now is convinced she is a big girl and often says, "No, I do it, I a BIG girl." She is tentative at first approach and can be quiet and reserved when in a new situation. BUT...once you get this girl comfortable, she is all sass and spice with a big loving heart. I love her personality and her sense of humor and she seems to be growing up by the day. Slow down sister!!
We thought that the magical "3rd" birthday would convince Katie she is a big girl and ready to use the potty...but no luck. She does look pretty cute in her new underoos though : )
Kate requested ice cream cake with cookie dough and chocolate ice cream. We had a little celebration and a BIG gift. Kyle made a dollhouse from scratch (Katie calls it her "girl-house"). After we found out Katie was a girl at our ultrasound, we were driving home in the car together discussing the news. Kyle stated that he was going to make his little girl a dollhouse...and he followed up with his promise. Kyle put so much thought and love into this house and it turned out perfectly. Both Andy and Katie LOVE it - and Kyle and I have found we enjoy playing with the kids too - it brings back fond memories of our own houses as kids.
We ended the day with s'mores on the beach. A fun day for our Katie!

Playing with her lambies tags...something she's done since she was about 1 year old.

Excited about her new "My Little Pony" underwear. She is trying to go potty and her mermaid is going next to her.
More fun to just wear underoos! I love how you can see Katie's complete adoration for her brother in these pictures and Andy is putting up with it.
