Kate is 1

Life goes by too fast and I just can't keep up with journaling my life. Kate turned 1 and we had a little party with just our family for her. My mom was in town so it was nice to have Vovo here.
Kate decided to start taking her first steps on the day of her birthday. By the end of the week she was walking around the house. She's so funny because she didn't even know how to just stand unassisted or how to get up without using something  (wall, couch, someone's leg...) to help, but that never stopped her. She just wanted to go!
For her party we had dinner with the Schmidts, Garretts, Jermans, and Vovo. Then we had several desserts and Kate got her own little smash cake. She enjoyed digging in her cake and licking the frosting.
At the age of 1 Kate likes to eat just about anything, she's a good sleeper, and she loves her siblings. She enjoys the swings and slide at the park. She still doesn't say anything. She hisses like a snake and we tell Clarissa that she is saying Cissa. She says "dada" but it's not associated with Cory.
She is our smallest baby. She weighs only 23lbs and is 30 inches long. We love our little Kate!
