Merry Christmas!!

We had a wonderful Christmas and hope you did as well. We stayed home and enjoyed not traveling during the storms (we love our families, but love not driving in the snow). Christmas Eve we had steak, baked potatoes, and vegetables. It was delicious! Andrews brother Ben came up to spend the night with us before he left for Colorado in the morning. We opened up 1 present on Christmas Eve- we all got pjs. We took a family picture in front of the tree. The kids loved the fact that the camera could take a picture on its own so we ended up doing it quite a few times.

Christmas morning, Kenadi woke up at her usual 6:15. She wasn't too excited about all the stuff at first, she was hungry! She enjoyed it after she ate though. We kept waiting for Jackson to get up and he just wasnt so we finally woke him up at about 6:40 (we were too anxious for him to see his presents!) He was so excited about his train! He got the GeoTrax Toy Story 3 train. It was like pulling teeth to get him to open his other presents. He did not want to leave his train.

We really didnt take many pictures at all! I know slackers, but thats what happens. Oh well. We had a very fun, relaxing Christmas!

Let it Snow Let it Snow Let it Snow

So this past Tuesday, we woke up to about 12 inches of snow and it was still coming down really hard. Here are a few pictures of the fun we had!

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures!

Taking her for a ride.

He loves to give thumbs up!

Yumm! Bell Pepper!

He loves taking baths! Then he likes to line the side of the tub with all his toys.

Decorating the Christmas tree (before we got the big one)

"Looking" at the black Friday ads.

They love playing with this nativity set (whenever we ask Jackson where's Jesus? He picks up the Joseph figurine- makes sense, all the pictures of Jesus we have he has a beard)

Buzz, Woody and Rex in the rice cereal "snow"

I now know if Jack is being quiet to beware, we just may have rice cereal in our cupboard.

Trying to help clean up the rice cereal mess.

Isn't she adorable?

He loves to play under the kitchen table.

 Jackson is saying more things. He has started saying, "Wheres buzz?" I hear this a lot throughout the day. Kenadi is starting to stand on her own without holding onto anything. Today she stood for about 45 seconds- she was so proud of herself and she started clapping when I did, thats what caused her to fall. She also can now use the walker toy to walk around a bit. Well, thats all the pictures for now, I need to find an iPod cable to get all the pictures from my phone (there are a TON!)

Kenadi

Kenadi had her 9 month check up yesterday. It went pretty good. She loves people as long as Andrew or I am holding her, but boy if they get close to her she freaks out! She only had 1 shot this time as well as a toe prick to check her iron. She did very well for the toe prick- didn't cry at all. She cried for the shot, but I don't think its because it hurt but more so because I put her back on the table. Yeah she started crying as soon as I put her on the table and then once the shot was over and I picked her up she immediately stopped crying. So here are her 9 month stats:
Weight: 16.93 lbs 12.49%
Length: 27.75 inches 47.2%
Head 17.75inches 75.88%
So for thinking our little girl is big, she really isn't. When the Dr looked at her weight he said that he wasn't concerned about it since she moves more than most 9 month olds. It was funny because he was asking me if Kenadi could crawl, I said yes. He asked if she had started pulling herself up on things. I was like oh yeah! Shes been doing that for about a month and walks along the sofa and things. He said oh wow! Shes ahead of most kids. He then continued to say that she has lost more baby weight probably then most babies because of how much she moves. Yeah, no delays here for this little girl. Can I tell you how happy it makes me when Kenadi is checked and everything is perfect and she has no delays! It's pretty awesome!
Other things about Kenadi, she loves food! Not baby food but real food! She eats everything we do now and has for a couple of weeks. She wont touch baby food any more. She "talks" a ton. Its pretty funny to listen to her because she seriously talks to us as though we know what she is saying. I fear that she is going to be the little girl who talks non stop just because she likes to hear her voice.
