The Kirbys

Movie Star

December 12, 2008

Kylie has been developing like crazy. It's amazing to see all of the new things she is learning. She loves being picked up and now realizes when it happens. Anytime we lean down toward her, she stretches her arms out wide, arches her back, and tightens her whole body, and of course she gets a big cheesy grin on her face. It's so fun!

She is so much more active now and so interactive. Because of this we have been using our video camera alot to capture all of these special moments. Here are a couple of videos from this past week:

Finally! I have been trying for two weeks to get video of Kylie rolling over! She seems to either get stage fright or way too interested in the camera when its on her, so she doesn't roll. But this morning, I finally got it! You can see, I tried to bribe her with my cell phone, but she didn't even need it. Yea!!! Go, Kylie! {She didn't really seem as excited as I was though...}

Last week, while we were getting Kylie ready for bed, we found her little tickle spot. She loves being tickled and we love tickling her... but how could you not when you get that cute little laugh!

"Smartest Baby in the World"

December 10, 2008

The other night we were teaching Kylie all of her different body parts before she got into her Jammies. She's a quick learner...

Making Friends

December 8, 2008

Kylie was introduced to a new friend a few days ago. She had a really good time getting to know Miss BunBun.

{She loves to sit up so I put up this handy boppy barrier for her. She was so happy}

{It's so nice to meet you!}

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!

December 5, 2008

It's always been a tradition in my home to decorate for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving. So by Friday night our home was so pretty and festive! I just love this time of year! As I was decorating our tree I had the biggest grin on my face while I was blasting Christmas carols. It was such a childlike happiness. It's simple pleasures that make life so great. And Kylie loves the lights! We are so excited to start our own family traditions to share with our kids!

Here are a couple pictures of our pretty living room:

{This was almost the first post ever that didn't include a picture of Kylie... I felt really weird about that... So here's a picture of Kylie sitting back in her swing while I was taking pictures...}

{She is just stinking cute!}

New Toys for Kylie...

December 3, 2008

Last week Kylie made an amazing discovery... She has feet!!! These adorable little tootsies have since become her new favorite toys. Whether she is sitting up or laying down, as soon as she sees them, it's all over. Last night she decided she wanted to taste them (as she does with all of her other toys) so in went the foot. She is actually playing and talking to them as I type. She is such a silly girl!

{Daddy and Tootsies? Does life get any better?}

{"Mom, look what I got!" Such a happy girl!}

We are so in love...

Ready for Church!

November 30, 2008

Kylie always looks so cute going to church when she gets to wear her adorable dresses. We realized today that we never take any pictures before we change her out them. So, of course, we had to take some when we got home. She even got to wear her little black pea-coat, just like Mommy.

{Kylie is learning to smile for the camera.}

{She's a little giggler sometimes!}

{Once again...mesmerized by the camera.}

Happy Thanksgiving!

November 27, 2008

We went all out this year for Thanksgiving! It was our first time hosting a feast in our own home and it went perfectly! We did Turkey, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, stuffing, broccoli souffle, rolls, green salad, ambrosia salad, deviled eggs, veggies and dip, spinach dip and sourdough bread, fruit and cheese, cranberry sauce, and of course sticky buns, apple and pumpkin pie! And the best part... there were only 6 of us. Talk about a ridiculous amount of leftovers! Everything was timed perfectly and we were pretty proud of ourselves for that. We even timed Kylie's meal so that we could eat undisturbed (turned out we ended up taking care of a little diaper malfunction anyway), but it was all wonderful!

Kylie was, of course, cute as always and quite the little social butterfly. I made a cute little orange and pink flower for her hair. It was way too big and a little overwhelming on her little head but she still looked so cute. Unfortunately we forgot to put it on her when we wanted to get a quick little family photo.

{Happy Thanksgiving!}

So Crafty

November 26, 2008

We've been pretty crafty here in the Kirby household lately. Here is Miss Kylie modeling her latest creations. I appliqued that little country flower on one of her plain white onesies. We think it turned out pretty cute.
