Kyleigh's 1st Christmas = White Christmas

Ok, so word has it that Charlotte hasn't had a White Christmas in 62 or 63 years. The year of 2010, Kyleigh's first Christmas we have a white Christmas! How awesome! We do have pictures of us to show too! I have to say, even though it was her first Christmas, she slept through most of the day! I don't know if she just didn't feel great or if she was going through a growth spurt! She did get some nice toys, some of which she will have to grow in to!

I took Kyleigh for her 6 month checkup yesterday! The doctor said she was growing well, she weighed 15 lbs and 10 ozs and was 25 inches long. She is in the 25th percentile for her length, she is definitely vertically challenged like her mother and father. The doctor told us to go ahead and move on to stage 2 foods, she also said we could start giving her some of the same food that we eat. I have also been trying out the sippy cup on her, she is doing pretty well with it drinking out of it, she just isn't getting the part about really tipping it up so it can actually get it out, but when she has help she does well. The doctor also pointed out that she is getting her first tooth! I wouldn't have noticed had she not told me!

I also took her to get her 6 month pictures made despite the fact that she had 3 shots! How brave was I? Some of the pictures were really great and cute. I will post some to here soon!

I hope you all are enjoying your Holiday Season!

Love to all!

Kyleigh's First Christmas

Well it's December 24th and we are excited about Kyleigh's first Christmas. The Christmas Cards have gone out, we have decorated, she loves her pink Christmas Tree that is in her room as well as the big one in the bonus room. I think she is mezmorized by it every time she looks at it and sees the lights because her eyes just get big!

A few weeks ago, I took Kyleigh to sit on Santa's lap at Carolina Place Mall. I have to say, I was very impressed by that Santa, he was very nice looking and not scary. Kyleigh did not scream or cry while sitting on his lap. I personally think she looks like a baby doll on his lap. I love the picture that we got!

We had Christmas already in Greensboro with the family since Shelley came in from Colorado. We got awesome gifts and Kyleigh got to meet Shelley who had not been able to see her before now. We wish Aunt Shelley lived closer!

The tree is filled with gifts awaiting Santa's arrival this evening starting a Caruso Christmas tradition. I know she won't really understand what is going on this Christmas but it is a time for Christmas memories to be made!

We are truly blessed with a special baby girl. She is so good and is growing like a weed. She laughs and smiles a lot, she has even started talking, not formed words, but she will sit and talk to herself. She jumps in the jumperoo, oh and she is pretty much sitting up, which I am glad about because I want her to sit up in her 6 month pictures which I am getting made on Monday! Unfortunately we are going for her 6 month check up first that morning, but hopefully the shots won't affect her and she will be in a good mood!

Love and Happy Holiday's to all! Please let us hear from you!
