Happy New Year!

Now I'm going home and going to bed!!! No reason to stay up and watch it come, so I'll see ya'll when I wake up next year!

Christmas Part 3 - The Day After

We had a wonderful Christmas with all of our family, but I am glad it's over! Now I just have to try to deal with all the new "stuff" and get my house back in order. And guess what, my Christmas tree is coming down this year! Yes, that's right, I made a bet that I wouldn't take my tree down last year, and I won, I didn't take it down, but now it's time. I am SICK of looking at it!!!

Christmas Part 2 - Christmas Day

We normally go to my mom and dad's on Christmas day after we open our Santa gifts, but Mike and I decided we didn't want to try and drive in the ice and snow, so we waited until Saturday. We went to Robert's brother's house and cooked a ham and let the kids play all day. It was great just to be together all day and to not have to worry about going anywhere!

She finally slept all night without her swaddle blanket. But when I woke her up, she had her pants and both socks off!

Santa gifts

"Chew toys" for Tara per Koy's request

They took a break from tearing into everything to smile for me

Trying out her new highchair

Looking at all those toys just wore her out

Her shirt says "I'm Santa's Best Gift" and I totally agree!

All snuggled up in her warm suit that Mama bought her

Smoothing it out for the kids. Ha ha, he went down a little before he was ready!

Jackson's ready to go

Blayne and Kase

Christmas Part 1 - Christmas Eve

Sledding behind the 4 Wheeler on a car hood - that's safe!

Someone forgot to put the 4 Wheeler up!

Showing off her outfit Aunt Charity got her

We finally got all three of them together - Tara, Cutter & Kamryn

Cutter boy may have been born small, but he got over it!

The girls

Worn out from all the Christmas activities

Monte & Kase

We pulled up to Grandmother Erlines and saw this in the driveway! I guess Peyton and Beth didn't want to chance it in the snow and ice.

3 Months and First Snow

3 Months
Weight: ?

Height: ?

Clothes: Still wearing newborn through 3-6 months. We have to get 3-6 for the length, but all the pants are HUGE and constantly fall off!

Milestones: She has been laughing a little, but I haven't gotten a good belly laugh yet, so I'm not giving it an exact day. All I've gotten out of her is a "huh" so I'm not considering that a full out laugh just yet!

First Snow: December 24, 2009

We haven't been to the doctor, which is a good thing because it means that she has been healthy. But we also don't know how much she weighs! I can tell she has grown, but she's still not as big as her cousins. Her three month picture is taken in the onsie that we brought her home from the hospital in! She seems to be getting a stiff neck and favors one side over the other, so we have been doing some stretches at every diaper change and it is already getting better. You can tell in the picture that she is tilting her head to the right. Koy had torticollis when he was a baby and we spent many days in physical therapy so I knew what to look for and what to do about it.

She was "telling me about it"

This doesn't even look like her!

First snow - before it really started coming down

(Excuse the holes in the pants! Those are their weekend/go with Daddy pants.)

Christmas Pictures

Here are a few of the Christmas pictures I took this weekend. I didn't get a good one of Tara because I didn't have anyone there to help me get her to smile! I'm going to try again tonight. She kinda likes her big brothers, so I bet they can get a good smile out of her!
