e11even!

Eleven years ago today, I was holding a brand new baby girl. She was THE ONLY ONE of my four that I got to hold right after being born. The other three were whisked away for various reasons, but Kaitlyn? I got to hold her! It is still one of the best memories of that day! I remember how sweet and little she was. She had these HUGE eyes and really long eyelashes, and just blinked and looked around. It was love at first sight!

I thought that after already having one little girl, I'd be an expert, but I soon learned how different kids from the same set of parents can be. She and Eryn were total opposites. Not in a bad way, of course, but definitely different.

KK (as she nicknamed herself because she couldn't say her name when she was tiny) has always been our little comedian. She definitely takes after her dad! She loves to tease, which sometimes gets her in trouble, but she has such a hilarious sense of humor and always makes us laugh. She really has THE BEST one liners!

She is such a sweet girl, and has a huge heart. She does have a little temper, but it doesn't get her in trouble as much as it used to. She is definitely growing up! She LOVES LOVES LOVES soccer, and is an excellent soccer player. She has been playing on a competition team this year, and is looking forward to starting indoor soccer in January. Her big dream is to play on the Olympic team someday.

K loves to listen to music, and I even catch her singing sometimes (even though she says she doesn't like singing). She wants to learn to play the trumpet, which I think will be fun!  Her laugh is contagious, and is one of my favorite sounds. She is learning to cook, and is always wanting to make brownies or cookies (fine with me!). I just can't believe how quickly these last 11 years have gone. She is getting so grown up, and is such a beautiful girl. We sure do love her!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KK!
