Kaylee's 1st Christmas photos

I had been meaning to post these ever since Christmas but never got around to doing it.  We took Kaylee to have her picture made for Christmas the week before Thanksgiving.  We had Christmas cards made to send out with the photos, which is why I held off on posting these until everyone received their cards.  I also surprised my husband with a framed photo of me and Kaylee for his office, so I didn't want to ruin one of his Christmas presents.

Kaylee's 1st Christmas

It was a wonderful first Christmas with our darling Kaylee.  Lots of nice gifts were received, but she was the greatest gift of all besides Jesus' birth.  :)

Tuckered out 

With Papa

With Grandmama

3 months old

The smiles are abundant at 3 months old!  

Kaylee regularly smiles and coos at us and even attempts some words.  

She said "Hi" the other day right after my husband said it!  

I'm sure it was a happy accident, but we were pleased none the less. 

 She's still an easy-going baby that loves to eat.  

So while sleep isn't very plentiful right now, it's okay because she's almost a whopping 12lbs! 

We have officially begun baby sign language and regularly sign: "Mama", "Papa", "Grandma", "Grandaddy", "Bottle", "Diaper", "Swing" and a few others less regularly.  Hopefully by 8 months or sooner she will begin signing back.  I'm convinced she already knows some of the signs as her eyes light up when she sees her bottle and when we sign it to her.  She's a very smart little lady.  :)

8 Weeks Old

Jellybean turned 8 weeks old yesterday!  

Not too many updates as she is still doing pretty much the same.  She is starting to smile more and observe what's around her.  She still finds our lights in the living room fascinating as well as some TV programs.  

We are going to do some Christmas cards with her on them, so we will be taking her for her first portrait session on Monday!  We've got the prettiest dress coming in the mail...I just hope it arrives on time.
