Kate's 12 month check up

Kate had her 12 month check up last week. She weighs a whopping....

14 pounds 11 ounces!!!

That puts her at, ohhh, maybe -20th percentile on the growth chart! I'm not sure exactly, but she's way below 0! She is 28 inches tall, so in the 25th percentile for height. She's just such a little squirt! Her Dr has her on a supplement called Duocal for added calories. She also has to be on soy milk now that I've officially weaned her a week ago (YAY!!) because she's allergic to dairy. But she's meeting her milestones pretty close to on time, and she is healthy and happy as can be. She's not quite walking yet. She'll take a few steps then get scared and sit down. Little Stinker! :)

Happy 1st Birthday, Kate!

Okay, so I know Kate's birthday was two weeks ago, but you all know how slow I can be with the pictures sometimes! Anyway, here's a slideshow of her party. Enjoy!

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!

A Tribute to President Hinckley

I found this on Youtube. It is an absolutely beautiful tribute to President Hinckley. I got tears in my eyes watching this. He was such an awesome person!

Kate

Here is a copy on the invitations I made for Kate's birthday party. It looks much better in real life. My scanner sucks. They turned out pretty cute though. I embossed the birthday cake and the ribbon is brown velvet. I really should do stuff like this more often! :)

I just love this picture of Kate. It shows her sweet personality. I can't believe she'll be one on Sunday! She's getting so big, and changing so fast! It's kink of hard to tell in the picture, but her hair has dark tips and blonde roots. I think she's going to be a blondie with curls. Her hair just curled like that when I put it up.

This is a goofy picture, but she's showing off her new teeth. She's up to four now, two on top and two on bottom.


I love my sweet little Kate-Abella (as Kaden calls her) a.k.a. Kate Isabella Juanita Marita Jose Blanch (as my father-in-law calls her)!

Such exciting things are about to happen!!

I just can't contain my excitement! Next Friday, the 25th, Brent will get his "big raise" at work. And I mean BIG. This is what we have been waiting 3 1/2 years for! Seriously, our income is about to double. Hooray!!!

Secondly, but not any less exciting.... On the 29th, Heidi, Devin, and Corey will be moving back to Eagar from Idaho!!!! I can't wait! I've missed them so much the last two years!

And one last thing... Another birthday shout-out.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!!! Well, on Monday, anyway. I love you so much! Thanks for being such a great mom! You're the best! XOXOXO

Happy Birthday!

Brent had a birthday on Thursday. He turned 27! Happy Birthday, my Brentus! I love you so much! Thanks for being such a great father and husband. You're stinkin' AWESOME!
