CHRISTMAS!!!!

Kaylee's First Christmas!!

First white Christmas since 1975 (who knew?!). Thanks for the super fuzzy warm outfit, Uncle Ken & Aunt Jessie :)

Christmas Eve with Sitti and Aunt Linda

Facing the blizzard... ;)
With my Sitti!!
They braved the icy roads to come play and celebrate with us -- thanks Sitti and Aunt Linda!!
Happy girl on Aunt Linda's lap -- in festive Christmas garb (that she wanted to eat!) :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Kaylee's Dedication

Sweet Luke Gahan... look at those awesome kissable cheekies!!

What a sweet little girl... :)

Eating at Mattito's after the service... yum!! Thanks Grandma. :)

Kaylee turned 6 mos on Thursday! (where does the time go!?) She also got a new highchair AND 2 new bottom teeth this week --- though we had no clue since she has been drooling as IF she were teething for the past 3 months!! (and she wasn't grouchy or whiny at all!) What a sweet girl!! Here's an attempt to show you her big girl teeth and eating in her new highchair! :)

And here's us out to lunch with Cheryl and sweet Jett -- look at that awesome hair!!!!! Such a sweet big boy... eating grilled chicken and avocado with his gums!!! (well, ok, no pics inside the restaurant -- just in the car afterwards staying warm!)

Kaylee has noticed Sydney before, but this is a whole new level! Jeremy was playing with Sydney with the laser light (which she LOVES to chase - maybe more than life itself)... and well, Kaylee caught sight of it and thought Sydney was just hysterical ... listen to these giggles! Oh, and sorry for the camera girl's bad videoing at the end - she thought it was off already -- just can't get good help anymore, I tell ya! ;)

Kaylee's first gift-opening experience (an advent calendar!)... she reallllllly liked the paper!!

It's getting colderrrrrr.... here's sweet Kaylee our first (and likely only!) SNOW of the year, swingin' in cousin Braeden's swing, and in her poodle outfit from Dr Brown. (You can't see the snow in the pic with Kaylee and me -- but she was so enthralled with the flakes! Sweet Nancy and my mom went out in the snow later while I was at work so we could have some pictures of Kaylee in her first snow. :)!)

Kaylee's First Thanksgiving!! In my pretty dress... with daddy!!

Gigglin' with Daddy.... and snugglin' with Grandma (Linde - note the darling onesie! way cute - thanks so much!!)

Bathtime Joys!

I think we missed the majority of her massive giggling and flailing, gleeful kicking (she always knows when we bust out the camera!)... but it still shows her love for her baths! (Pardon the beginning rockiness!)

Gigglin' with Mama!

Rollin' over with chickie! Please note the shirt from (Brooke's) Aunt Carolyn! wheee Angel Fire!

Rattle from JP (look at me JP - love my John Deere rattle!)

Bedtime? yeah right...

"The Squealing Banshee Goes to Bed"
Unfortunately this is mostly going to be an 'audio' not a video since we are now getting to the point where if Kaylee sees us while in bed, she's upset she's not out WITH us... ergo, the lack o' light... anyway, this joyful squealing is about 15 min after I put Kaylee down for bed (and she was totally acting sleepy and wiping her eyes and sucking her thumb, etc...)... and she's STILL going up there! Such a happy girl. What you can't see is that she is rolling around her crib, smiling and "talking" to the mobile and the fan and her crib railings and the ceiling and her hands and feet. :)

For the fam and sweet Lisa ... here's Kaylee rolling!

Eatin' my rice cereal with Deeeeee!!!

one more jumpin' video.... look at those feet and legs go!

I found my feet! Kaylee loveeesss her feet and hands...

This is a "get well soon, Andy" jig! :)

I jumped so much I fell asleep in my jumper!! (and this is me, sporting my eggplant pants and matching top!)

In my new rain forest jumperoo!! Thanks for sharing Aunt Heather & Uncle Dean and Braeden!!! So happy!

Dancing with her daddy!

In my new hat from Sitti... thanks Sitti!! :)

Playtime with Daddy!

I'm in working on my charts (yes, still)... and I hear all this giggling and squealing coming from the living room. I walk in to see Kaylee putting her fingers in Jeremy's mouth and cracking up! :)
