7 Months Sister!


Sometimes I wish I had kids of the same gender so I could dress them alike easier!  BUT, I found these cute camo clothes and thought they would be so cute dressed alike.  Alec didn't think his camo was cute BUT I talked him into putting it on, telling him we were going to NANA'S and that he'd get a spanking if he didn't! ha!  Needless to say on the way to Nana's, Kaleigh was crying and Alec announced that she didn't like her camo!! ha!  At least we did get some cute pics even if they didn't like their outfits!


Sweet Kaleigh turned 7 months today and is doing more things everyday!!  She is starting to pull up and scooting around everywhere.  I know she'll be crawling around really soon!  She might get more practice if she didn't demand to be carried around constantly! ha!  She's definitely my little hip baby!  She got her 2nd ear infection last week and the antibiotic made her nauseaus so it's been a rough few nights around here, but now she's got new meds and we hope she's on the road to recovery now.  It's so sad to have a screaming baby at night and not be able to make it better instantly!  She weights 16lbs 8oz, is in a size 3 diaper and wears 6 months clothes.  She also got her two bottom teeth this month!



This little car has become a "play pen" for sister lately!  It's got a floorboard in the bottom so she doesn't slip out.  I fill it up with toys and tied one of Harley's leashes to the front of it!  I can pull her all over the house with me!  Works wonders!  Alec had to join in on the fun today too!



Happy New Year!

Happy 2012!  We look forward to a fun year with Alec and Kaleigh!  We celebrated New Years Eve at our  house with lots of friends, fireworks and food!  Alec LOVES fireworks!

The Martin's came over for some fun too!
Drew, Alec and Warren loved throwing the "poppers" on the ground!
Warren kept his hands over his ears all night but really did seem to enjoy the fireworks!



Just the girls!

Kaleigh and I celebrated New Year Eve all night long.  She has a double ear infection and her antibiotic upset her belly, so we were literally up all night!  But she's a happy camper New Years Day!

Christmas Time

Our First Christmas as a family of four was wonderful and the kids seemed to enjoy every minute!  Alec even went to see Santa 3 times!  He wanted to be certain Santa knew he wanted a Dune Racer!  We spent Christmas Eve with Dustin's family at his mom's house and my family came to our house for Christmas Day lunch.

Discussing their gifts at Nana's house!

Grant and Leila

Alec got a Wii at Nana's and figured it out quickly!

Kaleigh taking a snooze with Maw Maw, check out her legs!

We had to model several different Christmas outfits!

Nana and Aunt Patty made this special Christmas outfit for her!

Notice the special "Kaleigh" tree Nana had this year!  It was all hot pink and green with a few black ornaments mixed in that were requested by Alec!


Dirty Santa

We always play Dirty Santa on Christmas Eve in Ellisville.  This year, Nana opened a soft throw as one of the gifts.  Several people tried to "steal" it from Nana but Alec was having NO part of that and fiercly protected Nana's blanket!!  He was in charge of fetching gifts if someone wanted to "steal" or open a new one.  Any time someone wanted to steal Nana's blanket, he wouldn't let them!  He was so sweet protecting Nana's gift!


Santa even left Alec a sweet note when he finished his cookies! 

This is how we found him Christmas morning.  He didn't even come to wake us!  We heard little noises and he was playing with this cool parking garage that Santa left!

Dad enjoying the cool guitar Santa brought!  Alec isn't nearly as thrilled with it! ha!

Sister loves the little ride-on toy Santa brought her!

One of my favorite pictures!  He loves her so much!

Alec has been talking about Santa bringing him a Dune Racer for months so I'm so happy Santa remembered!

It's so much fun to have a cousin!

Love Christmas Morning Pajama Pictures!

Christmas Cookies

This year, I decided it was time for us to start the Christmas Cookie Tradition at our house!  I’m not much of a “from scratch” baker and I’m certainly not an artist, but the Friday before Thanksgiving, Alec and I made cookies!!  It was so much fun and they really did turn out pretty!!  We can't wait to do this again next year!!

Telephone Pics

It sure is nice to be able to take pics with a telephone these days, when a camera isn't handy.  Here are some cute ones I've taken of Kaleigh this past week.  These first few are from her bath, she was climbing from one end of the tub to the other.  She'll soon be climbing out and into the big tub!  We can't believe how mobile she is these days, I have a feeling she'll be crawling before the year is up!  She's super close!!

Hey Mom!

I think I see something I want!

Can't quite reach it!

Just a boring bowl, I think I'll climb back where I was now!

Playing in the mirror with mom!
She LOVES to ride on our shoulders!

About to get her 6 months shots, she wasn't nearly as happy afterwards....
