More Thanksgiving... hair cut!!

So here are a couple of pictures my Aunt took at our Austin Thanksgiving. You can kind of see my new hair cut. I think I like it. It is SHORT.. well short for me at least. I think it seems so short to me because it was so long before. She cut off like 5 inches or so. It hasn't been this short since Junior year of high school. Eek! Luckily my hair grows pretty fast. I know Casey would like for it to start growing already... ;)



She was enjoying looking at the dogs.

Yep I see the resemblance.

Cheesy smile, but still a good pic of the dinner table. It looks like Aunt Sarah is posing!

First Thanksgiving!

Overall, Kylie enjoyed her first Thanksgiving. It was a little tiring for her, but she made it through with naps and all. We were so proud of her. We left the house around 12:30 (after Casey played in the annual Eden Road Church Turkey Bowl and the truck was packed up and ready to go...) and went to Casey's grandparents house in Irving. Kylie met everyone and mostly enjoyed all the faces and goo goo ga ga's. Haha. She then became very tired and went right down for a nap on Memaw and Papaw's bed! It's not normal for her to nap anywhere other than at home.

After Thanksgiving lunch, we took Kylie over to the Davis side and Kylie spent some time with them. Her great grandparents Bob and Bobbie were able to hold and play with her for a little bit. (By the way, my camera was left at Memaw and Papaw's at this point, so I don't have many pictures from this stop. Heidi I will need some of these pics from your camera! :) ) She did well over there too. Not fussy at all. She ate and then we were on our way down to Austin.

Before we left Heidi asked Kylie to sleep all the way down to make an easy trip from Mommy and Daddy... and she listened!! She napped all the way until Round Rock where we exited for Auntie Linda's house.

We made it to our Kramer side Thanksgiving around 6:30. Even though she had just napped for a very long time in the car, it was still the evening (most babies are fussy in the evening) and getting close to her official bedtime. Needless to say, she wasn't the happiest baby for too long. I fed her and changed her diaper and then it was time for dinner!! Here's Kylie sitting with Daddy at the table.

I just realized that her belly is hanging out in this picture! Ha! :) My sweet baby girl!!

Kylie's Dedication

Kylie was dedicated yesterday morning at our church. It was such a special experience. God has given us such a precious little girl and even though it feels like such an enormous weight on our shoulders, we know that God will guide and comfort us as we raise her.

The Moore's, Us, and Pastor Chris

Kylie was so blessed to have her entire family there! The Kramer Family (mommy's side) came up including Grandpa and Grandma Kramer, Aunt Sarah, "Aunt" Chelsie, and Uncle Andrew. Her Davis Family side came including Great Grandparents Bob and Bobbie (Mimi and Poppy), "Mimi" Judy, Grandpa Steve and Heidi Davis, and Aunt Ashleigh. Her Price Family side came including Great Grandparents Gail and Eugene (Memaw and Papaw), Grandma Kristy and Phillip Price, and Aunts Alex and Taylor.

Kylie also has other "family" members that aren't technically related to her, but are considered family far and wide. They were there for both Kylie and their baby girl Olivia who were both being dedicated. This included Aunt Erin, Uncle Chris, and their girls Ava, and Olivia, Aunt Jennifer, Uncle Mark, and Colton, and their parents/grandparents Tim and Rosella Clark.

What an amazing day! It was so nice to share it with our quite large, but loving family. We had lunch at our house afterwards and here are a few pictures of Kylie's special day.

Kramer Family!

The Girls..

Drool!!

Not so sure about this rice cereal stuff...

It took too long for Mommy to thaw some milk to make Kylie's first batch of rice cereal, so it didn't go as planned. She was crying because she was so tired. And that's the part we got on video. :(

I calmed her down and started getting her dressed for bed and she was happy again. So in just her diaper, I fed her some more rice cereal and she really liked it. I had to hold her, so it was pretty much dripping down her entire chest and tummy and all over me! Needless to say, it was bath time after that!

The next night, I mixed it with formula (for time sake) and Kylie did NOT like the taste. She had never tasted formula before, so I think that's why she wasn't a fan. I tried it with fornula for a couple of nights and she still didn't like it. We'll keep trying though. She'll soon come to like it... hopefully.

Classic not so sure face...



Eh, what is this stuff in my mouth!



Much happier the next try!

Kylie is 4 Months Old!

This is coming about a week and a half late, but oh well. Kylie is 4 months old! It's still so hard to believe that not long ago she was still in my belly and tiny as can be. A lot has changed! Kylie is over 14 pounds and seems to be getting longer by the second. She's about 25 inches long now!

She has rolled over only twice, but we'll get there. Poor thing is dealing with early teething, so pretty much every other developmental milestone has been put on hold. The waterworks are definitely in effect. There is not a moment that the drool is not pouring out of her mouth. She has been biting and man she can bite hard. Yesterday she bit my shoulder. Luckily the teeth aren't in yet, so it's just gums biting, but still it has to hurt pretty bad for her to be biting as hard as she is now. Her fingers turn bright red because she bites them so much. Hopefully soon, I think by Christmas, we'll have a tooth or two. Here's a picture of her biting her gums together creating an adorable pucker face.

Kylie loves her toys. It's like she knows which ones are animals or something. She always talks to Mr. Duck and Mr. Lion. So cute. We have just recently tried the exersaucer. She seemed to be getting a little bored with most of her toys, so this is something brand new! She really likes it until she gets tired. Next time I'll put a couple of towels around her to help her a little. I think she likes that she can see around the room better while she can still play with toys. I think she likes that she is "standing" too.

Such a cutie when she wants to be. ;) Here's to the next month full of teething, hopefully rolling all over the house, and eating rice cereal!!

Get a Laugh Everytime!

Enjoy silly Kylie! :) Well the one I wanted to upload wouldn't, so here's one of her cute laugh.

She LOVES it when her feet go to her face! :)

First Halloween!

Sunday was Kylie's first Halloween. I think she liked it. We started the day at church and then went over to our friends' parents house, Tim and Rosella's. They are pretty much like grandparents to Kylie. We had lunch and just enjoyed eachother's company (while kind of watching the poor Cowboy's play...) before Halloween festivities began. We decided to dress the kids up and take pictures of the four of them together. It was quite interesting. The Moore girls were cats, Ava more specifically a leopard, and Colton was Bam Bam! Kylie was the cutest giraffe I have ever seen! We lined them up on the couch and then we all acted like papparazzi.. flash after flash. Here are some of those pics.

Olivia, Ava, Colton, and Kylie

As if Colton's costume wasn't less clothing already.. he must take off his shoulder piece. :)

Family Halloween Picture

I don't mind my costume one bit!

Waiting for trick or treaters!

We went outside and waited for trick or treaters for awhile. So Kylie got the full experience, not that she'll remember any of it. :) It was probably more for us, but that's okay. She was in a great mood most of the night. I think she likes being outside. Once it was her bedtime, the lights were out. Luckily no more obnoxious doorbell ringers came and she slept soundly until 6am. Seriously some of these kids would knock several times, then ring the doorbell, not once, but like 5 times. I kind of wanted to not answer the door. Patience children Patience!

Happy Halloween!!
