Christmas Eve 2012

We did things a little different this year.

We set out milk and cookies for Santa on Dec. 23rd

We knew we would have a busy Christmas Day so we decided since we would have time Christmas Eve that we would do gifts from Santa then. 

Before the girls went to bed we set out the milk & cupcakes and tucked the girls in tight.

They went to bed pretty fast {which on any normal night they don't go to sleep fast}

Christmas Eve morning the girls were up at 7am and were more then ready to see if Santa had come.

I wanted to get the camera ready to record them as they came running out, well I messed up and that didn't happen.  But they were very excited!  It was so fun to watch the excitment they got open their gifts from Santa.



After opening our Santa gifts the girls played while I took a shower and got ready for the day. 

My dad, step mom, brother and his girlfriend Brittany came over at 12 to open gifts.

But before everyone arrived I wanted to get a picture of daddy with his girls and then a picture of all of us.  I love these pictures!

Rudy's good bye note to the girls!

Keira with some of her gifts {she got a lot books from my dad & us, lego duplo from us & my brother got her that big bear}

 

Kaylee with some of her gifts. {My brother got her the dress up stuff, we got her the lego duplo's and my dad got her the Leap Frog TAG}

 After spending the afternoon with my dad, step mom, brother and his gf they all left and we got ready to go to Jason's grandparents house for more fun!

The girls had a great time and played with their cousins really well.
We got home after eating a great dinner and presents.



Kendall {2 months old}



Kendall Morgan,

Two months old, where have these past two months gone?!  I'm afraid to blink cause I might miss something, these two months have just gone by so fast.

You have been such a joy to our family and I couldn't imagine not having you here with us.  You are such a chill baby.  You don't really cry unless your hungry or have a dirty diaper.  I absolutely LOVE that you love to snuggle.  I could snuggle with you all day every day.  There are days that I don't want to put you down.  I want soak you all in, the smell of your hair after a bath, the coo's and smiles that just make my day.  You adore your sisters and have started smiling and cooing at them when they talk to you, its the cutest thing.

EATING:  well baby girl we've made it 2 whole months breastfeeding!  This is a big accomplishment for the both of us.  I am so happy that I've been able to BF this long.  We will continue to take it month by month and see how long we make it in our BF journey. During the day you eat around every 3 hours and at night it's been 7-8 hours.

  

SLEEPING:  Since starting you on your schedule you've been sleeping great.  You take 3-4 naps a day and have slept through the night {8 hours} 3 times now.  Mommy is hoping that this continues cause getting 8 hours of sleep has been great. You usually go to bed around 10pm and have been waking up between 5-6am to eat.  I love my sleep but those nights that you decide to sleep through the night, mommy wakes up to boobies that hurt really bad (can you say super engourged)

CLOTHES:  I am sad to say that a couple weeks ago I packed away all your Newborn clothes.  It was a little bittersweet.  I will not have another baby to wear those newborn clothes.  You are wearing 0-3 & 3 month clothes.  You are in size 1 diapers.  Not sure what size shoe cause you don't wear shoes, you only wear socks or crochet booties.  I am happy to say that socks finally fit your feet.

STATS:

Weight:

Height:

Clothes: 0-3 & 3 month

Diapers: size 1

Hair:dark brown

Eyes: dark blue
