Now that Kate is 13 months, I figured it's about time I share her birthday experience with everyone. We were in Newport with the Moffitt family over her birthday. She shares the same birthday with her Uncle Andy, and since he was able to get into Disneyland for free we figured we would tag along with them. So Kate spent most of the day at the Happiest Place on Earth! We had so much fun. She was happy the entire time we were there! We had to laugh because the first time she acted up was when we exited the park. She freaked out and had a tantrum! She realized that she was leaving her favorite place, DiSnEyLaNd!
When we got back from Disneyland, Kate was ready for bed due to not having a nap all day. We decided that we would just have to do her birthday cake the next day. Well, while we were singing happy birthday to Andy, we woke Kate up. So I figured that since she was awake, and we were eating cake anyway, we should just let her eat her birthday cake with us. That was quite the experience! We sang happy birthday to her, and said that we need to do it softly so we don't upset her. I won't mention any names, but someone decided half way through to sing really really loud! Kate got so sad, and started balling. It was actually pretty funny and entertaining, as you can see in these photo's! We were able to calm her down for a little bit. 
She cried some more when she realized everyone was watching her. She usually loves attention, but this night it was the last thing she wanted! We decided to move onto her birthday presents. I'm not sure what set her off, but she started to cry AGAIN! We didn't even get through one present when we decided it was BeD tImE.
The next day was attempt number two! She did great with the presents. I believe with the cake I gave her 3 chances before I gave up. She liked to play with it, but didn't care to eat it. I totally thought she would dig right in. She's always been quite the eater.
When we got home from Newport, I wanted to throw Kate a birthday party for those who weren't with us on her birthday. I thought for sure that she would dig into this cake. We sang happy birthday to her softly, and she almost cried, but we made it through with no tears. She was silly with her cake. She kept leaning forward and trying to bite into it. Afterward, she had a blast opening her presents! She got her very own car! She got her first dolly, glow worm, $20 bill, $5 bill, and penny(Thanks Colter for her penny :))! Along with some adorable clothes.
Thank you everyone for all that you have done for Kate. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY KATE!!!!!
We love you so so so so much.
