One

Kip turned one year old on October 28th (which, incidentally, is also one of her grandfathers' birthday).

 

She is an affectionate and joyful little girl who never sits still!

  She spends a lot of time trying to catch up with her brother, but hasn't tried walking on her own yet.  She makes up for it with speed crawling and climbing up on anything and everything (including step ladders).

  

 She is usually quiet, but has some strong opinions (especially when it comes to feeding herself) and prefers to be with someone over playing with toys.  She dances, says ball, hey, up, bed, mama, more, dada, cat, and meow, and sleeps through the night (finally!)

We had a little party for her and she enjoyed her cake and gifts.

  

We love you so much, Kip! Thanks for brightening our days and loving on us so well.
