Goin' For a Ride

Looks like Kylee's not the only one that likes to go for a ride! LOL

Vrooom!Vrooom!

The other night Kyle came home from work and started pushing Kylee around in her new car. She was having so much fun that I had to get my camera out. By the time I started filming she wasn't laughing as much, but she was still having fun! Poor baby has been sick for the last 2 days so she has not been quite as happy as usual. Although, I must say, for how cruddy she's been feeling she is still pretty happy. Monday night we woke up to a screaming baby at 2 AM and only slept in 20 minute intervals from then on. And that's 20 minute intervals with her in our arms!! At 6 AM she felt hot so I took her temp and it read 103 and that's with me not even holding it under her arm long enought because she wouldn't let me...which is also odd! Anyways, yesterday I had the nurse call in some really expensive medicine that seems to be working. Hopefully we'll get over this soon!!! Sorry the video came out so dark. I guess I should have turned some more lights on!

Crawling for Daddy

Kylee is officially crawling now. When she gets close to whatever she's going for she plops herself down to reach for it. She discovered how convenient it is over the weekend with her Daddy and Gammy. Yes, that's right...Mommy missed it because of work! UGH! Well, I got to see it today. Kyle enticed her with some toys and away she went! A little while after that I was in the kitchen and heard her screaming from the living room. I searched around for her only to find the top half of her sticking out from under the end table. I, of course, had to grab my camera thinking she wasn't really stuck...just unable to realize she needed to go forward. I learned that I was wrong when I tugged on her and the table came along with her! I had to push her diaper down on her butt to get her out! LOL. No wonder she was screaming!

What are you doing?! Help me!

Home Sweet Home

Having a child really makes me realize how sweet it is to be home. After a hectic 3 days at family's houses we finally made it back home Christmas night to celebrate with our own little family. Kylee opened her one gift from santa and then was so exhausted after that she went straight to bed. The next day I, unfortunately, had to head off to work but Kyle put together all of Kylee's new toys and they played all day. What a wonderful Daddy! He says that Kylee loves her new car and she's not too sure about the ball machine yet Paren because it makes a loud noise. Although, I think she's starting to warm up to it! She also loves her barrell of monkies Gammy gave her and we've been using her projector every night MawMaw! Thank you so much to everyone that gave her gifts- from clothes to cars! We are really blessed to have such a loving group of family and friends.

She was really just trying to get it in her mouth!

Kylee made it from the living room into the dining room.



Playing in the Cozy Coupe car. It is so cute!! Thank you Nanny, we love it!



Merry Christmas!

Christmas morning we woke up early to make Christmas Mass and then we headed to Kyle's Padan's house to celebrate with their family. After leaving his Padan's we headed back to his Mom's to open gifts with Valarie, Shane and the girls. It was another busy but exciting day and we had a blast spending Christmas with everyone.

Kylee dressed and ready for Church. Believe it or not she wouldn't smile for a good picture!

Christmas Eve with the Gang

I was so happy to be off for the Holidays this year and be able to spend time with all of our family. It was great getting to see everyone together again. We drove in Wednesday to have an early visit with Holly and Jason and Joey and Lori then stayed at Mom and Dad's for our Christmas Eve celebration. Kylee seemed to enjoy her first Christmas and all the attention that came with it! We can't wait to see everyone again soon!


The day started out with "Mom's" new car stuck in the mud!

Sugar Madness!

Today Kylee and I went to Angie, Nicholas and Benjamen's house to have a sugar cookie decorating party! It was Kylee's first real experience with that much sugar and boy did she love it! I told her she better not get used to it. LOL. Kylee really seems to be warming up to other kids now. I'm really glad we were able to join this group and make some friends.

Kylee's decorated sugar cookie...okay so I did it


But she sure enjoyed it! It's the best shot I could get while feeding her.



Caught ya!

Such a Pretty Gril

Kyle has been taking pictures of Kylee in her church outfits for me since I don't get to attend church with them. Last Sunday I came back and he showed me this one. She is such a doll if you ask me!

B&N Storytime

Yesterday our playgroup had a meeting for Storytime at Barnes and Noble. In the kids section of the store there is a setup of benches for kids to sit and a lady reads stories to them. The weather was yucky so it was only us and Lisa and Brennan that showed up this time. Regardless, Kylee had a great time playing with the train set and with her Buddy Brennan.

The first look of the day


For some reason she loves feet!

Last week Kylee and I headed to a play date at Kaisha and Kaiden's house. It has taken me so long to post because I forgot my camera and Kaisha just posted these pictures on our website. It was our second playdate but it was the first one with Kylee's buddy Brennan there. Kylee and Brennan were born on the same day so it is so fun to get to see her with a baby her age. This was the first time I had seen it and I loved it! Kylee is a little more social than him, but I'm sure she'll get him out of his shell!! Sorry, I put the pictures backwards....see Holly, we all do it sometimes!! LOL

On The Road Again

Today we loaded up the family and headed back home. Kyle had some business to take care of in Moss Bluff so Kylee, Buddy and I tagged along. We made a few pit stops along the way to do a little visiting.

Out for a Stroll

Since we were actually not running the roads today and the weather was nice we got to take a stroll around the neighborhood and see the Christmas decorations. It's been so long since the weather has been nice enough to do this; we really enjoyed ourselves...even Buddy!

Preped and ready!

It's Snowing!

I didn't believe them when they said there was a chance for snow. Just a minute ago I walked outside to find snow coming from the sky! I don't know if it would be classified as snow or sleet because it was coming down really fast, almost like rain but in the form of ice!! It wasn't sticking to the trees or anything. I could, however, see it on the concrete and could hear it crushing under my feet when I walked.

Snow/sleet on my sweater sleeve

What a Trooper

Kylee braved the crowds with me today and we did some Christmas and grocery shopping. I wanted to leave before the weather got too bad so she missed her morning nap so we could head out. Poor baby would fall asleep as soon as we got in the truck after each store; then as soon as she got a couple minutes of nap time she would have to wake up to hit the next store! We made sure she was bundled up and warm for the cold winds. She was such a trooper!

Ready to hit the roads


When we got home 4 hours later!

Splish Splash

Kylee has seemed to enjoy her bath time since birth, but for some reason tonight she seemed to be having a blast! She started this new thing where she scrunches her nose and mouth and breaths real fast and hard through her nose. It is the cutest thing ever!

Christmas Lights

Per request from Angie this is a picture of our outside lights. The big bright thing in the middle of the yard is a wooden angel with a spotlight on it. We put up the new LED lights on top this year and they look really good. I think they're worth the investment.




Dark picture of our mailbox. It has garland and red ornaments on it.
