COME SEPTEMBER

On my birthday, September 22, my darling baby-girl turned eleven-months-old. Almost to the one-year birthday celebration and I present Cate in September.

The face that launched the love and devotion of a Gigi to her darling girl.

Helping Gigi unpack make-up from Sephora is the most fun. Those are eyeliner boxes from Lancôme.



My little love enjoys being outside as much as her Gigi.

Digging in Gigi's purse. The best.

Crookshanks the cat watches as Cate jabbers through the glass.

Cousin Don visits from Texas. Good times.

Fine dining at Cracker Barrle.

She does love Gigi's purse. It's Anne Kline, so it will hold up just fine.

Gigi taught Cate how to press the button on the washer and dryer, but watching is the most fun of all.

Gigi created a fall atmosphere with items from Michael's. Fall doesn't really come to So-Flo.

Signaling touchdown is something Cate loves to do, even in her highchair.

Brittany bought Cate this Princess castle for her birthday, but couldn't wait to set it up. Cate loves it.

Looking out the kitchen window. Gigi let her stand on the counter, while she held on.

Cate wipes the glass with a clean diaper. She sees us clean it, so I guess she trying to do the same. Crooks is just taking it in.

Her own outdoor chair.

Playing in her room.

Helping Gigi unpack the Halloween decorations.

Whether in a Halloween costume or a simple onesie, she is a smiling delight.

The Princess Party is almost upon us and I can't wait to see your reaction to all the festivities.

 

Mostly, I just want to wrap you up in my arms, hug you tightly and have you know, that without a doubt, experiencing life with you this first year has been an amazing journey that I treasure with all my heart.
