Christmas in the park...

Saturday night we headed to Central Park for "Christmas in the Park". They had hayrides, pictures with Santa, the Aggie Wranglers performing and cookies and hot chocolate!

These pics are kinda strange but they are in night vision from our video camera!

The lights on the hayride that takes you around the park!

Kyndahl waving to Papa B and Kaylah from the hayride!

More pics are to come of the Santa experience... she was not into it at all! She wanted to see him from afar, same with the polar bear and other animals, but once she got close, it was "I want to go home"... Kaylah sat with Santa for a second and stared... but then he started talking and she was DONE! Hopefully Kyndahl will get more used to him soon so we can get a real picture with him before he's gone!

Kaylah LOVED the Aggie Wranglers! As the music would play she would bouncy and wave her arm and legs to the beat. When the music would stop, she would stop and look around... when it started back up, so did she!

Poor Baby... Kayla's 7 months old!

So it's been kinda crazy with the little one lately! We started giving her cereal last month and have had some trouble with it. The first time, she didn't get sick but who knows how much she really even got in her!! The second time she had oatmeal, I had mixed it with some prunes. She threw up twice in her bassinet. I checked the date of the prunes and they were expired by a week... so I chalked it up to that. Then the Tuesday before Thanksgiving when JJ was here, she fed Kaylah some oatmeal... and we spent the evening at the ER with her throwing up for 1 1/2 hrs. But still no connection... until Saturday. Her 7 month birthday, she had oatmeal for breakfast... and 2 hrs later was throwing up again! Great! Now the connection in our heads! I talk to the dr on Monday and his idea is to go back and try rice cereal instead since it is much more gentle and easier on their tummies... so Wednesday afternoon, I did, but very little. 2 hours later, throwing up again!! Called dr again Thursday morning. No cereal at all until blood testing for allergies at one year! So just fruits and veggies for Miss Kaylah! He said I could try meat, but strained meat just grosses me out! Maybe we'll try egg yolk soon! Who knows!!?!??!

Decorating the tree

Wednesday, Dec 2nd, David had the girls by himself a lot of the day... he decided he and Kyndahl would make a cheerio garland for the tree!

Then Kyndahl would oh so carefully unwrap each individual ornament for the tree and say "oooo mommy... lllooook" or "so pretty mommy... it's _____ (color)." She would then hand it to me for me to hang as she unwrapped the next one. This continued for each and every ornament... I made her help me hang some of hers, and she wanted them to all go in the same spot! But it was really fun to watch her as she opened each one with excitement!

CHEESE!! Love her smile!!

Going to poke mommy from behind the camera!!

Thanksgiving Day in San Antonio

KayLeigh stops to pose with her favorite uncle... and me! She is getting SO TALL... not from our side of the family!

Everyone gets to pose with Kaylah!!

She was so tired that she fell asleep with Uncle Michael watching the parade!!

Even JJ's au pair, Nancy got to pose for a picture!

JJ and family come to B/CS Nov24th

Tuesday JJ and the family pulled into College Station. Aunt Marilyn came to visit and watch the girls play. Than we headed to Rosa's (of course!!!!) for dinner. Stacey, JJ's college roommate, and her family drove in from Houston to eat dinner. Afterwards, the plan was to put the girls to bed and leave our husbands with them while we found bday invites for Kyndahl's party BUT... instead, David and I ended up at the ER with Kaylah. Poor baby threw up 10 times in an hour and dry heaved just as many! She was so pale that you could see EVERY vein in her body! They gave her something we waited to see if she could keep it down... and she did. So back home we went and all is ok. Who knows what that was all about, but she slept with us and was great the next day!

Coordinating cousins... Kyndahl matched too but refused to take a picture!

Funny how they were all bought at Target but the one JJ bought in the North is long sleeves!!

MY Kenna loved the jumperoo! She just still needs a phonebook under her feet til she gets a little bigger!

G-ma's House

Saturday we headed up to g-ma's after lunch at Texadelphia! David and I decided to stay the night so JJ could go to the tu game and she let us be the first to keep McKenna!! She was good- she loves her Tia!
