I just can't believe that K is already 9 months old! Everyone tells u it will go fast but WOW has it gone fast. She has changed so much, learned so much! I love how interactive she is now. I love her smiles and giggles and how she gets so excited when she's figured out something new!!
Here's a video of her crawling!!
It was just before nap time.... the reason for the tears... :)
Countdown to 1 yr

what's with baby clothing sizes???
Just thought I'd share this because it's kinda silly.
Kelsey is almost 9 months old and usually wearing clothes that are more like
12months... but today I put on this outfit and when i looked at the sizes on all the tags I was quite surprised!
White onsie - 12 months
Jeans - 12-18 months
flowered t-shirt - 3 Months
That's right 3 months!! I just had to laugh... who makes these clothes anyway???? :)

Walking
Here's a few of Kelsey's first steps!! Video from Christmas day 2010
Yes, it was only one step... but she's gotten a lot better since then! :)

It's a New Year!!!
Again... I know that's it's been a little while since the new year but.... :)
It's been a busy year already! Some things that have happened since the beginning of the year.
-Kelsey has taken her first steps (actually that happened Christmas day... but she's getting better day by day!)
-Kelsey has figured out crawling.
-My parents came to visit for a short 5 days
-I finished and shipped a huge order for hats to the states... and continue to get more orders... hoping that I can keep making and selling hats this year and looking forward to where it will take me
-have confirmed that I will give child care to a little boy close to Kelsey's age (though not as much as I was hoping, it still is a huge blessing!!)
-Kelsey had her first fever - as a result of teething
-Went to Science World and the body world exhibit for the first time - so amazing!
So that's what's happened already.... and it's only Jan.13th!! can't imagine what the rest of the year will bring!!!!
I'm not usually one to make resolution lists... but there are some things that I hope to work on this year and maybe if I write them here then u my friends and family will hold me accountable! :)
1. I know this is typical... loose some weight. I have a few more pounds of baby weight that have been stubborn and I hope to loose it before the summer!
2. Spend more time with my husband - after having K it's been hard to set time aside for just the 2 of us. I want to spend more time talking and playing games together and just continue getting to know each other.
3. Spend WAY more time in the Word. I have been putting spending time with God way to low on the priority list and i want to change this!! I want to feel closer to Him and I know the only way to do that is to spend time with Him!
4. Spend more time being productive. This past year I have often felt unproductive. I know that a lot has to with the fact that I have a baby, but I don't want that to be an excuse any more! :)
So that's a lot to work on! good thing I have a year!! :)
Here r some pics of this year so far

Christmas 2010
It's been awhile since I've written on here and I have so much to say so I'm not really sure where to start.
I'll start with Christmas - I know that Christmas is over already but I haven't said anything about it so.... here it goes
Christmas was different for me this year. I didn't go to Manitoba. I love my family and I never knew how much I loved the traditions and the events of Christmas that I enjoyed for so many years till I couldn't partake of them. While growing up Christmas was a very special time of year, and we celebrated it whole heartily. Some of my favorite things about Christmas are.....
1.Going to church more than usual - especially Christmas morning and singing the Hallelujah chorus!!
2.Christmas carols
3.playing games and spending lots of time with family
4.hearing my Dad read the Christmas story
5.Going to our barn at home and sitting on hay bales, reading the Christmas story and sharing with each other about what God has done in our lives and what we are thankful for.
6.my Mom's egg nog :) and all the other wonderful goodies she makes
7.Sharing and praying with my Mom's side of the family (a tradition that we have is after sharing what God has done in our life we join hands and pray together... it brings tears to my eyes many times)
8.good food
9.Giving gifts (although in the past few years our families have decided that instead of giving gifts to each other we would give to a charity)
10.and above all remembering why we celebrate this season... To remember the Greatest Gift ever given.... Jesus Christ!!!! Thank you Lord for giving your Son to us...
So Christmas out here this year was a bit different. We didn't have 3 Christmas gatherings to go to, there were very few gifts under the tree (and what was there was for Kelsey :) ) and I didn't have my immediate family to laugh and joke with. Even without all of this it was still a very good Christmas and I had a good time. But I will say, my heart was sad that I wasn't with my family. I know that our family will make new traditions but the process of getting there may be a bit painful at times.
Here are just a few pics of our Christmas this year - it sure is different with a baby! :)
