1 whole year. Wow. Moments after this photo was taken, the cone broke in half, the ice cream rolled down Kate's face and a big glob hit Henry in the forehead. People were laughing at us. The nerve.She is always so jealous when she see's Henry with a cone. She screams out in anger. Tonight we decided to celebrate with ice cream instead of cake. (Note:  grip of said cone= ice cream cone disaster). My sweet little Kate. One day I will tell you about the day you were born. About how I woke up at 6:30 a.m. with minor contractions and after a few hours of waiting we finally decided to go to the hospital around noon. I will tell you about how your Father convinced me, on the way to the hospital, that we had plenty of time and how he really needed to return some DWTS props and could we please just go and do that before we checked in? The lot was after all, just a few blocks away from the hospital. And the props only needed to go back to Hollywood. I will tell you how I had the most intense contractions, in front of the hospital, on the way to return the props and that I almost made him drop me off. "They are still 10 minutes apart" he kept saying. "We have time." The next contractions came in front of the warehouse, where the props were being returned. I thought I would never forgive him if I delivered you in front of a warehouse. But the contractions slowed and when we finally checked in, I was only at a 4. We did have plenty of time. As the day started to turn to night, I kept hoping you'd be born that day and not on our anniversary. I wanted you to have your own day and not have to share it with anyone else.  You were born a few hours later. After being a week overdue, I was so happy you were finally here. We love you so much. And now you are 1. And you love tomato's. And anything that involves your brother. You are starting to stand and are not shy in letting us know when you do NOT like something. You smile at strangers and they adore you.
