Kathryn Elizabeth,

You are the light of our lives! Daddy and I "fight" over who gets to go get you out of bed each morning because you literally melt our hearts every single day. Your newest word is "what," and you love to say it ALL THE TIME! The other day, Daddy was trying to get your attention and you looked at him and said, "Dada, what?" We both laughed so hard because you are so smart! You are doing so incredibly well at "school" and are definitely one of the most popular babies. It doesn't hurt that your mommy used to work there and knows quite a few of the workers. It wouldn't matter anyways because you are just so happy and so content. Everyone wants to be around you! Baby girl, I cannot believe that it has already been 10 months. You are growing too quickly, but I love the little girl you are becoming...

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
