Future Vocation?

I’ve been watching out for any signs that Katie has a preferred vocation already, and I think I may have spotted a couple...

Diva?

She can be very demanding and certainly has started having tantrums if she doesn’t get her own way, so maybe she’ll be a popstar in the future.

Or maybe a builder?


I think that she has visions of being a foreperson though as people are often instructed to wear the hat, saw the bricks and build a tower. Sadly the towers built so far not been suitable for long term project and with the exception of the tower Uncle Tom built, all have been smashed down. Sigh.

In fact I think this power thing has gone to her head, as she often decides who can and can’t come in, her she is being a prison guard and not letting me up the stairs. :o)



Her Dad is very pleased that she also appears to have potential for a football pundit, here she is on the first day of the new season making sure she is up to date with the news.

Size Comparison, Hamish and I again!

I love Hamish, I’d take him everywhere if Mummy would let me. It is hard to believe that Hamish now looks so small and I look so tall! Here I am giving Hamish a cuddle and a kiss.

We went to Corfu

Katie loved the sea, the pool, and making her Guideparents play stack the rings! She also seemed to enjoy traveling by boat and plane. Although for the nervous flyer her screams at landing and takeover probably weren’t the most reassuring.

1st Birthday Party/Naming Ceremony

We had a great day, Katie got lots and lots of presents, which we’re still creating and writing thank you cards for! She loves playing with all of the new toys preferably at the same time. Katie’s Guideparents did a fab job and Katie is really enjoying the props that came with the speech. :o)

Grannie and Grandpa, sorry that this isn’t a new photo for you – but we love it so much it had to be included.

We have walking!!

One week before Katie’s first birthday she started to walk. I thought we were going to have to wait longer, despite the fact that she has been standing and cruising for months as she didn’t seem to want to brave it alone. However, once she started she was off, just in time to get herself into even more mischief on holiday!
