10 Months & Counting

A very delayed post here since 11 months is just about here! Kyleen's spunky personality really started taking form this month. She can be a crazy, wild child at times. However, take her to somewhere new or out in public and she is still as serious as ever! This month (from 9-10) she took her first step right around Chirstmas, and her first few steps on Jan. 8th. She confidently cruised around any piece of furniture she could get her hands on. As you can see from the post below she is finally putting it all together now!


Good look, right?


Odd, Kyleen being apprehensive of something new!


In an attempt to successfully get her to sit still we have Mickey on and puffs to eat. Thus, most of the pictures she was zoning out and stuffing her face!



There's my stink bug.

And We're Off!

Our little peanut is officially off and running, well at least walking! She took her first 'real' steps on January 8th and has spent the whole month practicing and getting up enough courage to really take off! Although she is still not confidently walking all of the time, she is definitely done with the traditional crawl. She'll scoot with one knee to the nearest contraption, pull herself up, and then cruise around. I have been so anxious for her to reach all of her 'milestones,' but I have to say, this one leaves me a little sad. I can't believe the crawling days are already over. She may still be a very petite peanut, but she is definitely growing up, and I think it's about time she slows down already!!

Christmas 2010

Alright, I have put if off long enough. I have sooo many pictures I want to upload from Christmas Eve and day, but uploading on blogger is just so dang slow. I think I have run out of all other December pics, so the time has come. I'm just going to jump right into pictures and will do some explaining as we go! Enjoy Kyleen's first Christmas!

Looking so fancy and festive for Christmas Eve mass.

Back to Grandma & Poppa's for dinner and games.

Santa brought Kyleen her very own chair, aka 'best climbing device ever.' She LOVES it, although definitely more for the climbing than sitting!


Kyleen and Indy checking out her stocking.




Christmas Day Round #2: Spooner House


So miserable I put on her new pearls from Auntie Michelle.


I think we have FINALLY turned a corner with our Uncle Timmy.


Christmas Day Round #3: Sullins House



Loving on her new toys and gifts in the days after.
Kyleen is one blessed (spoiled!) little girl.

Playing with all her new girls!


Thank you again Auntie DanDan for this one :)


We're Exhausted!!!

Lights!

We all bundled up and went to check out the amazing Christmas lights in the Duddy's crazy neighborhood. Kyleen was skeptical (are we surprised?) of all the lights as she tried to figure out what exactly they were. She most definitely is dressed as a giant pink marshmallow!

Way to look happy Kyleen.


Merry Christmas!

Christmas is Coming....

These were taken a few nights before Christmas.
She was in love with the fire and checking out all the presents piling up under the tree!
