Pre-Christmas fun!

We have been so busy with fun Christmas stuff that I haven't had time to post. Here are a couple of pictures from Kylie visiting with her friends. She got to play with Maddie and "help" make cookies. She wasn't into the cookie making but LOVED watching Maddie and Reese. She also got to see her friend Elyse to play make a Christmas tree! Elyse looked amazingly well after just one week of having her pacemaker put in. What a little miracle she is! Thank you Maddie and Lysee for sharing your toys with Kylie! We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

Southern Lights and Snowman

My parents came down last weekend to stay with Kylie so Jeff and I could go do some Christmas shopping. Kylie enjoyed her time with her grandparents! To end the weekend we went to Southern Lights at the Kentucky Horse park. Kylie seemed intrigued by the lights. But, the highlight for her was the petting zoo. She LOVED the animals! She got to feed and touch several animals. She belly laughed at a kangaroo that was jumping around! She also seemed to enjoy the model trains. What a fun night! I also snapped a couple of shots of Kylie with a snowman decoration we have. She is so funny to watch her "play" with this snowman that is just her size. What a magical time of year!

Thanksgiving

We hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving as much as we did. Kylie was spoiled rotten with attention (and some new toys!) this weekend! We enjoyed lots of good family time and a trip to Cincinnati Zoo's festival of Lights. It's so hard to beleive that this time last year Kylie was only 7 weeks old. This Thanksgiving she was running around the house, climbing up her new slide and just having a blast with her grandparents, aunts and uncles. What a great Thanksgiving!

Keeping busy!

The weeks seem to be flying by! Not sure if it's becasue I am busy at work or becasue when I get home from work I am even busier keeping up with 13-month old Kylie! She wants to run and climb on everything and every where! Last weekend my parents and Jill came down to celebrate my birthday. It was a great visit and a beautiful day outside. I posted some pics of Kylie on our walk. She is also into building with her blocks right now. She can stack a 4-5 high lego-block tower. And of course she is still into Bailey, her very best friend. Can't believe Thanksgiving is right around corner.

Our ladybug!

Our little ladybug was too cute! She LOVED her costume! We took her down to "Trick or Treat on Main" in Nicholasville on Friday night and then "Trick or Trick on Main" in Wilmore on Saturday. She enjoyed both nights! We let her have her first sucker and she loves them! Hard to believe last year on Halloween she was 3 weeks old and slept through trick or treat!

Fall Break

I had a week off school last week for Fall Break and Jeff took off a few days so we enjoyed some great family time. We took Kylie hiking at Raven Run and she loved it! Most of the week the weather was cold and rainy so we were happy to be lazy and just let Kylie play with all her new birthday toys! She had her one year check-up and the doc said she was doing great! She weighed 18 # and 10 oz and was 29 1/4 inches long! On Sunday we took advantage of the sun coming out and went to Boyd's Orchard. Kylie loved every part of the day! From the pumpkins to the animals to the play tunnels and slides. It was so fun to watch her experience the Fall Fun!

Our birthday princess!

We celebrated Kylie Hope's first birthday on Saturday! We had such a wonderful time celebrating our baby's first birthday. She was spoiled rotten with love, attention and toys (of course!). Thanks to everyone for the love and support you have given this little miracle of ours this past year. We have enjoyed every minute of the journey and look forward to the next chapter. Happy 1st Birthday Kylie Hope!

Enjoy a few pictures of her big day!
