Happy 2011 !!!
I loved Kim's idea of looking back on the year with a photo a month. And since 2010 was the first year that had our girl with us for the entire year, I thought it would be fitting.

February

Wearing the same dress/shirt as in the first picture. This month we celebrated our one year referral anniversary(the 27th) as well as Kerry's second birthday (the 28th).

My little "collector" had a blast hunting eggs and filling up her basket.

May

This month we took our first vacation as a family. We went to Ashville, NC and visited the Biltmore Estate and drove the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway and Kerry showed what a great traveler she is...and that she could nearly eat her weight in ice cream over a three day period.

We took Kerry to Holiday World. She LOVED riding all of the rides and playing in the water park.

August

Kerry learned to pedal her trike, write her first letters (x, o, and w), and she graduated from her crib to a big girl bed.

September

This is about the time she started complaining about pains in her legs. And over the next few weeks, she had a big growth spurt to show for it.

This month Kerry started wearing big girl panties during the day, and pull-ups only at naptime and nighttime.
