billroper | Katie's Second Birthday

It was Katie's second birthday, so it was time to take some photos. :)

	Katie, Julie, and Balloons Here's Katie with the helium balloons that Gretchen bought for her birthday. Yes, the Pooh balloon says "Baby's 1st Birthday", but I don't think Katie minds. :)
	Bouncy Julie Meanwhile, Julie is watching the fun from her exersaucer.
	Balloons, Huh? Yes, the balloons are very interesting.
	Ah, the Camera Yes, Julie, look at the camera. Thanks, Katie, for pointing that out.
	Katie and the Birthday Cake Hey! My cake's on fire!
	One Candle Down And one candle is blown out with a bit of help from Mommy. One to go.
	Serious Study Ok, now exactly how does this thing work?
	Cake and Frozen Custard Katie is now helping herself to Gretchen's cake and custard. As you can see from the dish on the end table, it's not from any lack of her own cake and custard. It's simply that Mommy's is better.
	A Birthday Sounds Like Fun Can I have one? Yes, dear, in about five and a half months...
	Mashup Mommy's cake and custard having been devoured, it's now time to do a bit of a mashup on the original dish of dessert.
	She Knows She's Cute Oh, yeah. Pretty much dangerously cute.
	Opening Presents Katie got the hang of the opening presents thing at Christmas last year. Gretchen expects we're going to have to hide the presents this year.
	Making Progress And progress is being made.
	Pooh and Pooh And here's the Pooh backpack and the stuffed Winnie the Pooh that were in the box.
	Hi There! I'm just sitting here watching all the fun. How are you?
	Does He Sing? Katie has figured out that many of her toys sing and dance if you squeeze their paw. Not so for this wonderfully quiet Winnie the Pooh.
	I Would Like To Have a Birthday I know, darling. Soon. Very soon.
	Studying Pooh So this is Pooh. He's very soft.
	Pooh in Pooh And as it happens, the stuffed Pooh fits in the backpack Pooh.
	Cool, Daddy! I have my very own Pooh backpack. Cool!
	A Bit Undignified Ok, it's a bit undignified. I'm a baby. You got a problem with that?
	I'm Teething, You Know Pink bunny is a big help in that process.
	Taking Pooh to Bed And now, the Pooh backpack and the Pooh doll are back in the box they came in so that Katie can bring them upstairs and go to bed. Happy Birthday, Katie!
