Having a baby has changed my outlook on life big time. The holidays are so much more meaningful and magical. Magic has certainly been happening in our house the last few weeks. Baby K found her feet and has been spending all her time trying to hang on to her little tooties. It was so neat to watch the development happen. She found her right foot first, and it took another week and a half to find her left. I'm just waiting for her to try putting her toes in her mouth. She's been close, but not yet :) We finally had some informal Christmas photos taken this week (thanks to my cousin) and just before we got started, K rolled over! She was on her back and rolled to her tummy twice! There's just no trusting her now. I included one of the shots of the baby. Gotta love the yawn :)
My husband and I rearranged our living room in an attempt to freshen things up in our apartment. Sometimes, I get frustrated living in a small space and just need to shake things up. I am so much happier with the new layout. It feels so open and roomier than before. More floor space and more wall space now. I really have no excuse to avoid decorating now ;)
My dad is coming to visit this weekend and will be here until the 23rd. We're all very excited because he lived in Iowa and we usually only see him once a year. Yay for two visits! Of course, he wants to see the baby for her first Christmas. I think he'll be spending half his nights here and the other half at my uncle's house.
Some friends of ours threw a Christmas party this past weekend, so we took the baby on a road trip to see everyone. The host proposed the hostess during his toast - priceless!! We knew about it ahead of time, so we were able to catch the whole thing on video. We stayed overnight and took the baby to our old church in Davis the next day. It was so nice to see friends we hadn't seen in 6 months. K had her first real playdate with two other babies. It was so neat to her smiling and looking at the other little girls. I think I have a little social butterfly on my hands.
I've never been much of a journaler, but with so many blessing in my life, it seems silly to not document all that goes on. I guess this might be like an early New Year's resolution: capture as much of the year in writing as I can. I know 2007 was a huge year for my family. If 2008 is anything like it, we're all in for one wild ride!!
