Merry Christmas to all of our friends and family!

Happy one month birthday to sweet Kelsey! I can't believe how quickly it's going. We had our one month check up on Wednesday. She is doing just great. She now weighs 8 lbs 12 oz. and is 20 3/4 inches long. Chris and I find this amusing because when Ethan was born he was 8 lbs 12 oz and 21 inches long. It has taken a whole month for her to get there. No shots this time, but next month, she'll get her first immunizations. We're not looking forward to that.

Look how big she's gotten!

Granny has the magic touch to put Kelsey right to sleep.

Little chunky girl.

I needed a spoon to stir my coffee and this is what I found. I had to explain to Ethan that in this day and time, our babies sleep in beds...not in drawers.

My best friend, Natasha and her two little girls finally get to meet Kelsey. McKayla looks unimpressed-she's been through this whole baby thing before.

Have to have some snacks before playing!

Ethan and best friend, McKayla having tickle wars.

Ethan and McKayla were watching Ratatouille and Kilei decided she wanted to watch too, so she made room for herself right in the middle! She keeps the two older kids in line!

The heating element went out on my dryer, so the handymen, Chris and Ethan had to fix it. (I think Ethan was just supervising)

Mommy, enough with the pictures...can't you tell this is boring?

I am obsessed with these tiny feet. They are the cutest, sweetest things I have ever seen! Yes, that's Ethan's hand in the next picture. His hands are seriously the same size as mine! Chris keeps telling me to put socks on this baby because she's going to freeze, but I just can't stop looking at and playing with the teeny-tiny toes!

My tiny babydoll.

I weighed Kelsey a couple of days ago, and I'm pretty sure she has gained about 3 pounds! But, she still looks so tiny and curious in my chair.

Ethan, so proud of his train track.

I haven't been feeling well, so I called my doctor who sent me to get a sonogram. It turns out that I have a 2 inch hematoma right behind my c-section incision. Anyway, I'm not supposed to be doing much, but Ethan is my big boy and helps me in any way he can. This is him doing the housework that just won't quit. For those of you who know me well, clutter drives me absolutely crazy and the floor HAD to be vacuumed; otherwise, I was going to throw myself off of a cliff!

My friend, Ronda and her husband Tim are realtors and are going to list the house we are trying to sell, so they were over with their daughter, Cameron on Wednesday night. Kelsey warmed right up to both of them. Cameron loves little babies (and she played really well with Ethan, too).

Ethan told Santa that he wants a dirtbike, a dinosaur with a "moten controller" (remote control) and a viper. Money grows on trees, right?

A little unsure about the whole "being good until Christmas" thing.

It started snowing yesterday during MU's devastating loss to KU, and this is what we woke up to this morning. It isn't much, but to you southerners, it probably looks like a blizzard!

Ethan was so excited to see the snow on the deck. He thought there was enough to throw some snowballs. Neither of us can wait for that much snow!!!

WHAT IS THIS THING ON MY HEAD??? Jan Brady, anyone?

Exercising and tummy time. Kelsey is doing a great job of holding her head up and looking around.

Chris said this headband made her look like she was ready to play in the NBA. I think it's adorable. I can't wait for her to get hair so we can do pigtails, and clippies, and bows!

Mommy and Kelsey just hanging out at Granny and Poppa's. She was so warm and snuggly and relaxed.

I think in every picture I took of Finn, he was sleeping. Oh well...he's sweet.

Kelsey and Finn. Poor little guy, he was so sleepy! I think this family must have worn him out.

Finn all bundled up and ready to see the lights at the plaza....Now if only he could just stay awake for it.....

Ethan loves his baby sister! He was watching Barnyard and it really looked like they were watching it together.

Angelina and a very sleepy Finn. Holidays are so much for little ones to handle. Christian and Angelina, I'm so glad you were able to be here and we got to meet sweet little Finn.

Happy Kelsey with Poppa on Thanksgiving. He lucked out. Since Granny was sick, he got to hold both Kelsey and cousin Finn as much as he wanted. He even got his pumpkin pie last so he could hold the babies!

A big family Thanksgiving at Bob and Diane's. It was great to have everyone here.

Thanksgiving was just too much for Kelsey! She was worn out! I think this picture is cute, she looks very lady-like with her hands folded.
