Cati's spring

There is no denial that Catalina lost a lot of attention when Ami came into our lives. There is also no denial that Catalina is the best sister one can be. She does ask for mommy time, she does say she wants time for herself, but she ADORES Amelia. When she comes back from school the first thing she does is to hug her sister. When I take Amelia with me to pick her up from school, her smile can swallow the whole world. She is so proud to be a big sister! She carries Ami around the house, and all of the sudden she became very interested in feeding and caring for her dolls.

Some playdates with her friend Cami brought some smiles on Catalina's face. Plus, going down to the creek is always a fun adventure!

 Ready for a date with mommy, Catalina gave me the sweetest smile. The sky is always blue when I'm around her 😍.

First grade is a lot about school. Mornings are not always easy, Catalina is often sad it's not Friday yet. But there are some when she is just happy. And gorgeous!

Field Day at school. Standing up is Catalina's big love for this year, Mary. It's endearing and a little scary to see how much my daughter can love...

While not very interested in the athletic part of her life, Catalina is getting more and more coordinated and able to work for her team. Go team Catalina!!

Catalina started piano lessons in winter and she just started swimming lessons. Her schedule is packed, between homework, school and after school activities there is little time for play. Summer is coming and with it lots of free time! Plus several vacation trips that we have planned. It's bittersweet for me to see my baby girl so grown up. She is such an elegant, delicate lady. Smart and sweet, naughty and well behaved, all in one little girl💕❤️😍
