Baby and Christmas

Well we've been pretty busy for the last month so I haven't had a lot of time to blog. I am finally settling into a routine now that things are getting back to normal. Adam has been off of work since the baby was born and he just went back this week so now I am on my own! Our baby girl was born on Dec. 5th at 4:11 p.m. She weighed 7lbs 7oz and was 20in. long. We named her Laici (not one of the names we were considering when we got to the hospital by the way) She is such a sweet baby. She doesn't really make a lot of noise and Kyla loves her to death. She is such a good big sister. She wants to hold her and give her her binki. When Laici cries Kyla will run up to her and say "Oh Laic, what's wrong?" and kinda pat her belly a little. It's so cute!!

We took Kyla up to see Santa in town a couple of days before Christmas because she had been saying that she wanted to ask him to bring her a bicycle. So we got up there and we were the first in line and she was so excited, but the second that the door opened and she saw Santa she wanted nothing to do with him. She would not let go of me and I had to actually pick her up and take her into his little house. She just cried and wouldn't talk to him but I guess for a two year old he's a pretty scary guy. Then she told everyone that she didn't like Santa very much because he scared her. She's still talking about that and it cracks me up every time she tells me that story.

Then we had Christmas which was fun this year except Adam got sick with a horrible flu bug on Christmas Eve so I packed up the girls and we went to the Pixtons for our usual Christmas Eve party and left Adam to try and get some sleep and have some peace and quiet. We missed him very very much but Ky had a good time playing with all her cousins. Thankfully he was feeling better by Christmas morning so that we could open all our presents with him. We all got bikes from Santa and Ky was pretty excited. She has been riding hers around the house ever since. Then we went to the Graves for our Christmas party and gift exchange and had a good time opening presents and visiting. Ky loves it when she gets to play with her cousins and Laici got a lot of TLC from her aunts and uncles.

Well I don't have any pictures to go along with it but I thought I would give a baby update. We had another Dr. appt on the 20th and things are progressing but slowly. I'm dialated to 2plus and have been having contractions at about 20 min apart but they aren't getting any closer yet so we wait. We go back on Wed, the 26th and we will see if things are any farther along. The Dr. was funny at our appt. He kept looking for a reason to admit and induce labor further but there just wasn't enough of one! Unless you are at at least 39 weeks, in active labor or the baby is in some kind of distress the hospital will just send you home. Kindof a bummer but we do what we have to to make sure those babies come out with the best chance we can give them!! Oh the joys of pregnancy!! Hopefully I will have better news in the next couple of days! She still doesn't have a name though, Adam and I are working on it but we just aren't having alot of luck coming up with anythig!! Suggestions anyone???

Kyla's Painting

Adam got a white board with some dry-erase markers for Kyla the other day and she has been "painting" ever since! She thinks that is so much fun. She will sit in front of it for the longest time and draw with all the different colors and then she will run to wherever we are and say "come look at my beautiful painting" She is so funny. She keeps us laughing everyday!!

Halloween

Well Kyla got to go trick-or-treating for Halloween this year. She had so much fun!! She has been telling me she wanted to go trick-or-treating ever since we went to Grandma T's Halloween party so she was pretty happy when I told her that we could put on her Minnie Costume and go. I forgot my camera so I didn't get very many pictures. Thanks Linda for sending them to me!!! Kyla and Jack saying trick-or-treat and picking some candy out of the bucket. Thanks Uncle Clint!!

My little Minnie Mouse at Grandma's right before she got to go Trick-or-Treating. She loved it!!! Her favorite was to knock on the door and say "trick-or-treat". She was pretty tired by the end of the night but she had such a good time!!
