CHRISTMAS 2009

~ Christmas Video ~

Thanks to Aunt Candy... Keira looked adorable in her little Santa dress.

Lemon just woke up... Christmas morning in her little Christmas sleeping bag.

Santa came and filled Keira's stocking.

Playing with new toys.

Christmas Eve at the Palmers. Keira loved the wrapping paper of course and couldn't keep it out of her mouth. We had such a great time and were so spoiled by our friends. Thank you Palmers!

~ GROWING TOO FAST ~

Keira is 9 months old today and we can't believe another month has gone by.

Her smile is so contagious and we love her cute little giggles.

We are still working on tummy time and trying to get her to crawl... still far from it. She loves sitting up and being surrounded by toys. Now that we are getting snow she loves to sit by the sliding glass door and look at the snow flakes. We always wonder what she's thinking. She makes all sorts of noises and talks to us. One of my favorite things is when she sings when we are singing or when Daddy is playing the guitar. She brings us so much joy!

We are looking forward to Christmas with Keira and can't wait to see her reaction to some of her gifts.

~MERRY CHRISTMAS~

*She's Just So Stink'n Cute!

I love these ADORABLE pictures of Keira in her pinky bunny sweatsuit. The McGraths's (family I nannied for in VA) bought it for her along with this CUTE Tickle Monster book. Thank You McGrath Family! Keira LOVES them!

I just want to eat her up!!!

I had to show off our CUTE stockings. Keira can't wait for Santa to come!

Our BEAUTIFUL Christmas Tree!

I bought this Angel at Hobby Lobby and thought it was so PRETTY! I love Hobby Lobby and could shop there all day.

I've been meaning to show off Keira's CUTE whale bank. It was a gift from my friend Mandie and I think it is so ADORABLE. Thanks Mandie!

These pictures are a little overdue. Keira was sick on Halloween and she never wore her costume. Today... I finally got her in it and we took some CUTE pictures.

Here are a few of many pictures we took over the Thanksgiving break. We wanted to get some great family pictures to use for our Christmas cards. I didn't post the one we will be using so it will still be a surprise. Thanks to my Mom and Dad who helped take these great pics. We couldn't have done it without you!

Daddy LOVES his Little Girl

*GOOD TIMES IN VIRGINIA!

SMITHFIELD VIRGINIA

We went home to Virginia the last week of October and had a really good time with family and friends. Keira loved walking around downtown Smithfield and checking things out.

One of Keira's most favorite things to do is balancing on Daddy's hand. She smiles and giggles nonstop. She used to do it on her bum... but now she has stepped it up and balances on her feet. She's so cute!

Checking out the tree and playing with it.

Shopping at the Christmas Store in Smithfield. Keira loved grabbing for everything!

Cousin Emily finally got to meet Keira and had so much fun carrying her around and entertaining her.

On the ferry to York Town and Williamsburg. Keira loved the boat ride!

*Little Lemon is Getting So Big...

~ 7 mOnThS oLd ~

It's hard for us to believe that Keira is another month older. We love her so much and she has brought us nothing but joy! She is always so happy and loves to laugh. When her Daddy gets home from work she lights up and is nothing but smiles. She is doing so well with her baby food now and enjoys eating bananas (her favorite), pears, squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes. She's not to keen with her green veggies yet. She also loves her little puff cereal. Lately if I'm on the phone with Brody and put him on speaker Keira perks up and starts babbling to her Daddy. It's so cute! I'll have to get it on video. We love our Little Keira Lemon and are so grateful to have her in our lives.

Keira likes to make this funny little face where she closes her lips tight and her cheeks sag a little. It's so cute and funny to see in person. A lot of times it looks like and old man's face and we can't help but laugh.

It's always a photo shoot when I take pictures of Keira. I take a million... so naturally I have a hard time deciding which ones to post. As you can see I can't make up my mind and post quite a few of them. She's just so cute!

MoMmY & DaDdY's FaVoRiTe GiRl!

IS SHE NOT THE CUTEST!?!

Always so happy and silly!

Although these are jammies... I still put a headband on Keira to make the pictures girlie. These jammies used to belong to the little boy Josh (who is now 3) that I nannied. Thank you Josh!

Our Cute Little Pumpkin!

I finally got a picture to show off Keira's teeth. She got her first two at 4 months and the ones next to them are well on their way!

*Just Hanging Out

Halloween Jammies ~ TRICK or TREAT!

Keira loves to play with the blinds. We can put her in the bumbo seat for about 10 minutes and let her have some fun playing and looking out the window. It's ones of her new favorite things to do. She's so silly!

Getting ready to go for a walk with Mommy and Daddy.

LOVING MY LITTLE LEMON!

Reading books with Daddy.

Keira loves looking at books and enjoys turning the pages back and forth. Every now and then she loves to eat her books too. I just wish I could get her to eat her baby food! HA!
