Well Hello!

Sorry it has been so long since I posted. Things have been rather busy with all the Christmas decorating, etc. Finally I will slow down and update all of our faithful readers with some fun news. :)

Our little blessing turned 9 mos. Saturday! What a big girl she has become! She went to the doctor today and was 28 inches long (65%) for height and 17 lbs. (20%) for weight. She has only gained 1/2 lb. in 3 mos., but the doc said that was absolutely normal. He said her % will most likely continue to decline until she is about 15 mos. old. and that she may even get down in the single digits for percentiles.... not to "freak out." LOL

On another note, we took her Saturday night to see Santa. She just stared at him. She did fine (this year) in his lap and we got a couple of cute pictures. Enjoy!





After taking her to see Santa, we headed down to church for a Christmas production. They had a nursery for kids under 2 so we dropped her off. The play was awesome and I saw the most real looking baby doll of baby Jesus I have EVER seen!! It was just like she was holding a newborn in the 40 degree weather. I was so convinced it was real that I was worried about the baby catching a cold. The lady next to me heard my concern and assured me it was just a doll. Just a doll???? I think not, it was truly a work of art! Anyways, back to my point... We went to pick Little Bit up from the nursery and one of the ladies asked us, "How long has your baby been walking?" Okay, really? Did I just hear her right? I politely said, "Our baby doesn't walk yet. She has been standing on her own for a couple of months but will only take one step." She replied, "No, she was taking at least 6 steps at a time for me!" Okay, ladies/gents, I stay home with my child so that I can see all of her firsts and so far I have missed 2 biggies, rolling over and now walking! So, we still have not seen her walk as she prefers to crawl to us, so maybe I will just keep dreaming and can "act" like it is her first time when I see it. :)

We are really enjoying it here. There is a playgroup in our neighborhood and I have met some really sweet ladies, all of which stay at home with their youngens! Yeah, friends for Little Bit and me! We have been going to the mall together and to see Santa and having friends over to play. It has been great and is really keeping us busy.

At the mall on the slide... she looks terrified, but she LOVED it!


Also, that crying/fussy/needy baby which appeared for the first 7 mos. of her life has gone away. Our little angel has become the BEST BABY!!! She is always smiling and is doing phenomenal in the car, stroller, wherever I take her. It has been so wonderful to be able to get out of the house and not worry about meltdowns all over the place. I am actually planning a trip to the Jax Zoo in a couple of weeks, which means we will spend over 3 hours in the car and I am not even worried! Yeah for Baby K!
Well, better close. I have an ugly eye infection and I need to go put some more drops in before I forget. Our love to all and Merry Christmas!
