Never Too Kate

Today is Kate's 2nd birthday. Wow! That is just so weird. She's still so tiny, it's hard to think of her as a little 2 year old toddler. I went into labor, on my own, 3 weeks before her due date; that was a gift I think. The labor was much longer than the others, (14 hours) ... but it was the least horrible somehow (maybe because I wasn't induced?).

Kate has always been a very opinionated little thing. When she was a baby, I was always surprised that her cries sounded like growls. She was easily disgruntled. She cried non-stop for the first few months of life. (it was not fun) ...

Even now, she's easily disgruntled. However, she's also sweet and cuddly. She will sit with me anytime, anywhere. She will give great hugs and loves to give kisses to all her sisters.

Kate loves to say prayers. When someone is blessing the food or saying the family prayer, she can't help but chime in. It's so cute, because she isn't exactly fluent in English yet, so it's a lot of gibberish; but very cute.

Kate is also my little singer. If she hears music, she just starts singing away. There's not exactly a melody or good tone to her singing yet, but I can tell it will come eventually. It's just so cute when she's singing as loud as she can.

I love her smile and her little laugh. Part of her charm is the fact that she's so tiny; it's just so adorable.

So needless to say, we are happy Kate Ella is in our family. What a little opinionated, snarly, cute Sweetie!

Isn't she the best?
