Whose kid is this, anyway???

I know it is probably too early for us to reminisce, but I was doing a little Internet searching and came across these pics taken just a few hours after Jaycee was born. It seems like decades ago and as I sit here now, I wonder. . . Whose kid is that, anyway? I have a kid that looks and acts nothing like that baby from February of this year. I am guessing that it only gets a million times worse as they get older

Jaycee's 1st Christmas

A few pics to show just how much fun she had this morning.

Merry Christmas!

Jaycee is enjoying her very first Christmas! So far she has received some very neat and exciting gifts. There are things she can ride on, things she can read, and things that sing songs. All of the above are in her list of favorites right now, so these have all been welcomed additions to the many toys that she already enjoys on a daily basis. 

Aside from the Christmas gifts, Jaycee has been exploring with putting things on herself. These things include: her Mommy's bra, he Daddy's shorts, and even a pair of swim goggles. She is fascinated with putting things on and taking things off. She is also enjoying helping with the laundry. She can empty a laundry basket in no time; clean or dirty, Jaycee can get that basket empty!

We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! We know we will :)

She is WALKING!

It's official! Jaycee has taken her first big girl steps! Tonight she attempted up to five steps on her own. She is a little wobbly, of course, but she is certainly on her way to being even more independent. Great, we better get our running shoes on! She is a fast girl

It's Finally Cold!

We visited the Christmas tree farm today. Jaycee wore the cutest outfit; overalls, a suede jacket, a rugby hat, little shoes! What's not to love! It was the very first time that she didn't mind wearing her hat. Ever since we purchased it for the cold weather season, she has refused to wear it. It was finally cold enough today with the weather in the low 50's. The weather forecast even says we might have snow this next week. It would be nice for Jaycee to see snow at her own house for the first time instead of a drive up to the mountains. Either way, I am sure that will will make it to the mountains this winter for a snow day. Jaycee is such a warm body, we were worried that she might be sweating when we took off her cap, but she was okay. Her cheeks were even a little cold. 

It's been fun shopping for cold weather clothes. As much as we love the summer wear dresses and skirts, the overalls, sweat pants, and jeans are pretty cool. . . or should we say warm? Jaycee has an entire collection of cold weather jackets, from suede, to snow, to yoga zip-ups. We can't wait for Christmas day so that she can enjoy her special outfits :)
