Christmas with the Family

Here are some photos with me and my family on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!!

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

I had such a great first Christmas. I got a lot of fun toys and clothes and can't wait till I get a little older to play with them all! I got a new Bumbo Chair, two play mats, clothes, a new first toy purse, books, diapers, money, doll and much more! I am very grateful for all that I got from my family! Mommy and Daddy are now saying we have to have a room especially for my toys!!!

I got to try out a couple of my new toys and I loved my new play mat and at

first I didn't like my bumbo chair but then I got used to it! Mommy was laughing at me and thought I looked sooooo cute in it!!!

My new dress for Christmas!

My mommy got me this beautiful dress for Christmas with tights and cute slippers! My dress was a little big on me but me and Mommy didn't care because I looked sooooooo cute!! Mommy of course had to have a photo session before leaving for the festivities!! Daddy made fun of her!

Ruff Ruff

SOOO, my Mommy wanted me to put these pictures in here to show off my cute hat. I look like a little puppy. The hat is a little big but she insisted that I wear it (Aunt Pam gave it to me...thank you)! Daddy and Mommy were taking pictures of me all morning!!

2 Months Appt

I forgot to tell you all my horror from last Wednesday. Mommy and Daddy both went with me to the doctors office. Mommy was so proud that I was so good the whole appointment. Well, the worst part was that a nurse had to poke me with a sharp needle 4 times in my legs. I was not happy and Mommy felt very bad was trying to calm me down. Mommy said Daddy was a big baby because he wouldn't be in the room. He got to watch Babe the Pig while all the pain was happening, I would have rather been with him!
Mommy and Daddy also bet each other to see how much I weigh (neither of them were close). Mommy said I was getting bigger and I now weigh 14lb 7oz and I am 24 1/2 inches long! I am growing like a weed. Mommy said it is getting VERY hard to carry me in my car seat. She said her arm feels like its breaking...she is a silly lady!!! Daddy said I get my length from her...so then I will be soooooooooooooooooo beautiful!

Weekend Fun

I had a good time this weekend. Mommy and Daddy love to cart me around everywhere! Saturday I went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Kvilhaug and then got to see my aunties! I had fun and they thought it was funny to take a picture of me in my snow suit! Hey, at least I am nice and warm!!!! I got to spend time with Daddy alone while Mommy had "Mommy time"! She bought me a carrier so she can hold me while doing things in the house! I think she likes it more than I do, but I am getting used to it!

On Sunday I spent time with Mommy! Mommy and Daddy are getting married soon so her bridesmaids got together and tried dresses on. They all looked so pretty!!!!

At Daycare

I get to go to Pam's everyday while Mommy and Daddy are at work. I really enjoy my time with Pam and all the kids. Here is a picture of me sleeping in the middle of the room while the other kids are running and playing...nothing bothers me!!! I also love to watch the kids run and play while I am on the swing! Mom and dad are glad that I enjoy myself!

Mall of America and Macy's 8th Floor

I was a busy girl this past weekend! I got to go with my Mommy, Daddy, Cousin Aidan, Aunty Shel, Aunty Sam, Grams and Gramps Kvilhaug to the Macy's 8th Floor! It was about a day in the life of an elf! I loved being held by Grandma while she showed me all the fun lights! Mommy and Daddy were annoyed with the other people but was glad I had a good time! Afterward we went to the Mall of America and walked around. I loved watching Aidan dance to the Christmas music and Aunty Shel making me laugh!!!

Thanksgiving 2008

This was my first Thanksgiving, or mommy called it Turkey Day! Mommy was so very excited to dress me up in a cute outfit that I got as a gift. Mommy always likes to do photo shoots of my cute outfits because she says I have too much and wants me to wear them all!!! We went Grandma and Grandpa's Kvilhaugs for Thanksgiving! It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed myself! I got to play with Aidan again, he always loves to hold me!!! I found out that I am going to have two more cousins...twin girls, very excited!

Mommy and Daddy's Night Out

Mommy and Daddy got to out for the first time together since I was born. They went to a wedding with Granmda and Grandpa Kvilhaug!!! They looked very nice and of course so did I. Mommy always dresses me up so nicely. I got to spend the evening with Nana and Grandpa Iliff and we went to "Game Night" where I got to spend time with more family! I was a good girl...that is what Nana said.

Family

I thought maybe I would introduce some of my new immediate family. You already know my mommy and daddy, but here are my two Aunts/God Mommy's Sami and Shelbie. They always fight over clothes and who wants to hold me, I laugh at them! My Grandpa Kvilhaug and me and then a picture of my "Nana and Grandpa Iliff. I don't have picture of my Grandma Kvilhaug yet so when I do I will show you all! I still need to add a picture of my two uncles/God Daddy's Brent and Travis, but they are not photo people so I will have to wait for a special occasion!!!

At Grandma "Nana Iliff's" House

While Mommy was at work, I got to spend some time with Granmda Iliff and Granmda Kvilhaug. Grandma Iliff doesn't like to be called Grandma, so I am going to call her Nana.

Nana also took me to her work and shopping. Here is a picture of me in the bouncy chair...mommy said it is ugly but I enjoyed it!

We had a good time, Nana sang me some songs like "The Wheels on the Bus", "ABC's" and "Patty Cake" and played with the bouncy chair and she loved to give me legs massages!!! Both of my Grandmas' LOVE to sing to me and boy do they sound terrible (mommy said so), but I don't care because I love music!! Mommy and Daddy make fun of them because they sing the same songs over again and/or they make up their own songs!!!

Me and My Cousin

I LOVE to hang out with my cousin Aidan! He was trying to help Grandma feed me and sooth my cries! He is going to be a great big cousin and can't wait till I get older to run around with him.

Home with Mommy

I got to spend a lot of time (6 weeks) at home with Mommy while I grew and before she had to go back to work. I think sometimes she got annoyed with me because I didn't like to sleep all that often but I know she LOVES me!!! I am very lucky and very loved! I had a good time with mom, she was always so very silly but she tells me that I looked like her when she was younger so I must be VERY CUTE!!! We went shopping, dancing at home and just hanging out! Mommy was a little sad when I had to go to daycare. She cried a lot but knows that is what is best for me and so I can have lots of toys and fun things!

My First Halloween

I was a very busy girl for Halloween! I went to Aunt Pam's house where her cousin Aiden got to hold me and then went to Grandma/Grandpa Kvilhaug's 50's Halloween Party. Mommy and Daddy dressed up as members of the Mickey Mouse Club and looked very silly!!! I surely looked cute in my Halloween sleeper and was the hit at both events!!!

I was a sleepy girl!

When I first came home, Mom said that I would sleep anywhere! I slept in my swing, pack n play and on Daddy! I love sleeping on him the most! Now mom and dad say that I don't like to sleep much during the day (naps), so they are trying to work with me. I love to have attention!! But, I think I will play games with them and make it hard...isn't that what we are supposed to do???!!!!

Home after Hospital

I got to finally go home! Of course Mommy already loves to show me off in my new clothes!!! Here is a picture of me before leaving the hospital and in my car seat for the first time!!! Mommy was excited because I got to go home on her birthday (10/11)!! It was fun getting to know my new Mommy and Daddy and my new family! I love them all so much already!
