Cate Taylor, 1 year old


Cate Taylor, you entered our world on January 16th, 2009

(just one minute old in these pictures)

and have brought us  more joy than ever imaginable... 
One year, so quickly over.
Those big blue eyes, that beautiful smile.
I'm so glad that you're ours, that you're here, that God gave you to us when He did.



Baby girl, my sweet baby girl... I can't even begin to imagine life without you. I love every ounce of you (of which there are now many), every inch of you (all 29.5), every hair on your head... especially those curly ones. Your giggle, the way you wrap that little hand around my arm, those sweet kisses. What would my life be without you, my Caters? I love your gentleness and tenderness, the way you carry your baby around all day. I love, love, love that you're my little girl. I love how you love that big brother of yours and laugh at the mention of his name. I love that you're becoming a Daddy's girl, how you light up when he enters the room. You are so easy-going, so precious, so sweet. I'm having so much fun seeing who you are becoming, watching that fiery yet gentle personality emerge, watching you love and play, try and taste, grow and learn. My sweet baby girl.
I love you  more than words could say.
Happy Birthday, my little Caters!
You are such a precious gift!
