Happy Birthday Patrick!

We had fun at Patrick's first birthday party yesterday. Can't believe that he is already a year! He is so cute and looking like such a big boy. It was fun to watch Katya interact with the other kids. She is pretty reserved in big groups. I don't think she is particularly shy but she is quite and observant when in groups. When we left yesterday she became very talkative on the way home and is always happy to be home. And of course she is at the developmental age were she plays near other kids but not with them.

Katya is so cute with blowing kisses. It is her way of expressing love; when I talk about how we love daddy or someone else she blows kisses. She has yet to say the word love. She blows kisses when we talk about Grandma's and Baba's and she really likes Melanie and blows kisses to her too. Katya is really into books right now. She will grab a book and if she says "Katy," that means she wants to look at it herself but if she says "mama" or "daddy" then she wants us to read it to her. She likes lots of her books but especially her 'fishy' book from my parents and the foam pop-out-book from Craig's parents. She is also obsessed with "A Christmas Carol" which she wants us to read over and over again.

I bought drapes for Reagan's room which I will hang behind the valance I made. They are energy efficient and black out the room which is so nice. It should also help keep that room cooler. I also ordered the crib sheets that were on back order and they should be here soon. Hopefully they will fit better than the ones I took back. 9 weeks left and counting...
