Kaylen style crawling

Kaylen is becoming such a big girl! She has been saying "bye bye" and waving, and says Dada and Mama. She has also been trying to crawl. She hasn't quite found her groove yet, and has her own style of getting where she wants to go. We think it's pretty funny. Enjoy these videos!

Kaylen really likes my house shoes... she was determined to get them some way, some how.

Patrick waking Kaylen up in the morning... she is always so cheerful in the mornings. I don't think she gets that from me.

Kaylen's First Christmas!

Kaylen's first Christmas was wonderful! She got to see both sides of the family, and got TONS of fun stuff! On the 18th, Lina and Richard came to Dallas. We celebrated Patrick's 30th birthday by eating sushi and hanging out with all of Pat's family. On the 19th we all drove out to Lake Whitney to have the Reedy family Christmas. It was a lot of fun to see everyone, and we got a super cute "leg lamp" ornament in the ornament exchange! One the 23rd we drove to Houston to see Gramma and Grandpa Hardwicke. We were there until Sunday the 27th. Although, Aunt Kelly couldn't make it to Houston this year, we still had a lot of fun. We ate some of the best BBQ and had family game night. Pat and I even got to have a date on Saturday, and went to see Sherlock Holmes. Gramma & Grandpa were happy to babysit. Overall, Christmas went wonderful and Kaylen loved all her new toys and clothes!

On a side note... since I haven't updated the blog in a while I thought I would fill everyone in on Kaylen's recent developments. She is sitting by herself, eating a lot of different fruits and veggies, she's been clapping, jumping, she can stand while holding on to the couch for a few minutes, she's been crawling/scooting backwards. So, now we're just waiting for her to crawl forwards! She is still making a lot of new sounds and is showing her emotions really well. EVERYTHING is still going in to her mouth. We think she might be teething, but no sign of any buds yet!

Birthday boy! 30 years old!!
