Back at home!

We came back home Sunday and unpacked all our loot from Christmas and then took down our Christmas tree. We also got Katie a BIG GIRL Car seat and judging by her reaction to finding it in our room... she likes it:)


Santa had left a few presents for Katie to open and she is starting to get the hang of it and actually ripped more than one piece of paper off her gifts.


This morning, we started our day with Tea time:)

Kaitlyn now has 3 teeth, her 2 bottoms and one on the top. The second top tooth is in the process of breaking through and I think she might be getting more on the bottom. All this makes for a cranky baby and she doesn't want to chew on any of the teething items we have for her... so hopefully in a few days she will be better..

Merry Christmas!!!

We just wanted to share some pictures of our Christmas so far!
Kaitlyn is teething again and we think her front teeth are coming in and they seem to really hurt her so she's chewing on everything in sight.




Here I am playing on my horsey that JoJo, Pat and the kids brought me. It took me a day to get used to it but now I give it hugs and kisses and will sit on it for a minute or two at a time.


Here is me and daddy and me and mommy today at 6:30 when I woke up!


Here I am looking at my gift. I kind of just liked the wrapping paper.

And here I am with 2 of my blankies:)
Merry Christmas everyone!

This video had to be retrieved from Mimi's machine... otherwise it would have been posted for Thanksgiving since that's when it's from.

Enjoy!

Ho Ho Ho!


Last night Dave and I babysat for our other favorite babies -
We got to hang out with a 2.5 year old and 2 almost 1 year old


sBraydon kept us up from 11:30 - 1:30 when his parents got home and then Katie bug got up from 4:30 - 6:30 - which left Dave and I thinking - NO MORE BABIES!!!! hahahaha!

We had a great time and watched Beauty and the Beast before bed.

Here is a video of Katie wishing you Merry Christmas... listen closely - when you ask her what does santa say? she tries ho ho ho only she doesn't open her mouth...




This one is just for fun... Dave and I have taken to coloring in Katie's coloring books and here he is... so proud of his work!

It's an exciting time of year for us because Katie and I get to spend a whole week at Mimi and Grumps house for Christmas and then we get a WHOLE WEEK at home with Dave before Grammie and Grampie come to visit for our Christmas with them! Then it's our good friend B's birthday and then Katie's first birthday!

Happy Holidays!

11 Month Photo Shoot






It has been getting increasingly harder to get these 11 month shots with the bear on the chair... she just won't have it hahahah!

11 Months!!






Our little baby is not little anymore... She is walking all over the house and can bend over to pick things up without falling (although she still falls sometimes)

She wants big girl food and likes to feed herself.

She has gone down to one nap a day and sleeps from around 730 until 6 or 630 every day.

She can pick out about 30 - 40 things in books, or around the house etc... including the festive Santa, Christmas Tree, and snowman:) She can also walk us through the steps of making coffee in the morning by pointing out where we keep the filters, coffee and half and half.

She understands when we give her simple commands... and chooses to ignore the ones that are not in her favor.

Her favorite word is Dada and she is a puff a-holic! She knows where we keep them and points to that cabinet at every feeding or goes... P P P P P until we give them to her.

She is lots of fun and already challenging.

She amazes us every day and some days we still can't believe that she's here and she's growing so fast and learning so much!

Here are some of her latest pics!!

Merry Christmas All - we hope to see you all soon!
