Whoa?!?!?!

Yesterday I was out shopping with Auntie Teresa and this is the pic/text I received from Brent. That's right, Little Miss Keely figured out how to stand up in her crib! Can I just say how SCARY this is to me. Every thought about how she's going to fall out ran through me, yikes!!! I guess that's why she did it for Daddy. She was pretty proud of herself to say the least.  Standing up, what's next walking?!?! Wasn't she just born, stop the madness of the ever growing/changing baby.

Red Hatter

Mee-Maw and Keely getting ready for Red Hat Dinner.

Meet the youngest member of the Red Hat Society! Last weekend when Brent and I went out of town Keely stayed with her Mee-Maw and Paw-Paw. Mee-Maw had dinner with the Red Hatter's and brought Keely along. She had so much fun looking at all those lady's in their crazy hats!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

How it all started.

Keely ready to go.

A few hours later.

To answer your question: Yes, it does get cold enough in New Mexico for snow. Yesterday was a fun day of flurries that built up to several inches of snow. We even got some down in Los Lunas. Looks like there is hope for a white Christmas this year.

We're Outta Here!

This weekend Brent and I get to have a weekend getaway. The first since Keely's arrival. We are going to Ruidoso for the weekend. Hoping to do some snowboarding (wish me luck, I haven't been in 2 years), going out for a dinner date, and just some needed R & R. Keely gets to go to Mee-Maw & Paw-paw's and play with her buddy "Boots". Which I know she'll love.  Here's hoping everyone has a great weekend!

New Tricks Everyday!

Sometimes I just can't handle how much my little girl is growing. She'll be heading off to college before I know it. Well, to go along with her new game of crawling today Keely figured out how to sit up by herself. What a big girl!

So Precious...

So Keely's Aunt Cheryl, Uncle Dam and Cousins got this little bunny for her when she was born. She just started to take interest in it and lights up whenever the bunny says a prayer. I tried to capture on video but she got a little distracted. It's still pretty cute. 

CRAWLING?!?!?!

That's right people, we're crawling now. Today we went and got Holiday pictures taken and ran around town doing some errands. I guess after being confined into her car seat most of the day and sitting for pictures this girl was ready to move. We got home and I laid out our pictures on the floor to look at what we got. As I had the pictures laid out Brent put Keely on the floor to stretch her legs, she then proceeded to move about 3 feet immediately. Out of nowhere it clicked and this girl was moving. We got some of her toys out to practice this new trick. Game on now people. There's no going back. I've already moved her countless times from the Christmas tree and the cord to the laptop. Boy are we in for it now, help!!!

Our Sleeping Beauty

One of my favorite baby moments is watching Keely sleep. She looks so peaceful and so precious. It's so hard not to kiss her like crazy during those moments but I've learned to resist the temptation. Here are a few of the precious moments I was able to capture without waking the little sleeping beauty, lucky me.

Feeling Under the Weather :(

Poor Keely's got a frog in her throat! She's in need of some chicken soup and cuddling. I think this is a job Mom can handle! 

Santa Came Early This Year!

And he brought the BEST present ever! Look what we found under our tree, it's a little Keely :) We put up our tree and decorations last weekend. It was so much fun since we haven't had our things for 2 years. You forget what you have after that much time. Keely had a lot of fun watching us put the tree up and putting on the decorations. She even helped. Now we just have to find a stocking that we like for her.

Look what Santa brought to our house :)

Helping Mom decorate the tree.

Don't ask.

Playing some Christmas tunes.

Oh boy, this is what we're in for!

6 Month Check-Up

Yesterday Keely had her 6 month check up along with the dreaded booster shots.  I'm happy to report that she is doing great and is exactly where she should be. Here are the stats:

-16 lbs 5 oz

-25 1/4 in

-Head circumference 41 cm

Needless to say she is continuing to grow strong and healthy. She is a constant Rollie Pollie moving all over the room. She gets up on all fours and even up on her toes, crawling is just around the corner. The past couple of days I've found her trying to sit herself up from the laying down position, absolutely amazing! Brent and I are so proud of our baby girl and continuously feel the joy of watching her grow. She's become more and more interactive and developing her own willful personality. She loves playing games like hide and seek and being picked on by her Daddy. At the Doc she did get 4 shots and is a bit sore today, but she was a trooper getting them and even got a little toy from the nurse for being so brave. The next appointment will be the 9 month check up in March so we get a little break from the Doc for a while. 

Eve Ate the Apple...

And she did it again.
