Since my last post Kara has become quite the little toddler! Its hard for me to call her my baby anymore. She is constantly learning new words, doing new things and seeing how far our patience will stretch. She has definitely figured out how to manipulate us, but I am pretty sure that started when she was about 5 months old! She is just the most adorable, wonderful little girl!
We just got done celebrating Christmas and we had such a blast. I can't even tell you how many different Christmas activities we fit into a one week time period, but we sure had fun! We had Christmas Eve at our house with Michelle, Dre, Jayden and Jayla, Jerry and Becky, and Emily and Scott. Kara got so many new toys, books and dvds, and we only had one meltdown which all started when Kara tried to get into her doll carrier(which she doesn't fit into). Kara woke up at 4 in the morning Christmas morning, and I was expecting to go in her room and lay her back down, but I walked in to find her sitting in her crib and as soon as I got in her room she said "Santa". So I got her out of her crib and we read The Night Before Christmas a couple of times and then she was ready to go back to sleep.
Christmas morning we opened our gifts from Santa - he brought Kara lots of new books! Joe and I got Kara a membership to the Children's Museum, I can't wait to bring her! Later in the day we went to Grandma Julie's house where Kara got her very own kitchen! She had lots of fun opening more gifts and playing with her cousins.
Kara is so lucky to have so many wonderful people in her life - starting with her parents, of course! And all of her grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins. It is really nice to be so close to everyone, and let everyone enjoy our beautiful little girl as much as we do!
Merry Christmas Everyone!! I hope your day was blessed, and filled with memories that will last a lifetime!
Just in case you were wondering... This is what a 16 month old who has had too many treats looks like...
