Makayla's First Christmas!

This year we spent Christmas with Robs family in Colorado where it was nice and snowy! We had a great time. Before we went to Colorado we had our own little family Christmas with just the 3 of us. Makayla loved opening her gifts it was fun.

The 3 granddaughters got to be together for the first time in a long time! They are all so cute!

Makayla's first time in snow. She even got to be pulled on the back of the four wheeler. She didn't make much expression, but she didn't cry either so I think she liked it =)

Grandma and Grandpa Miller spending time with Kayla

hahaha and I had to put these up. She was fascinated with bubbles. We have adopted the name bubbles for her nickname, since mnm doesn't flow anymore. Bubbles fits her in so many ways. That was our Christmas of 2009. We had the best year of our lives with our beautiful baby with us. We are ready to see what surprises are waiting for us in 2010

Ho Ho Ho

Makayla got to meet Santa on Saturday! She did great. We didn't know if she was going to cry but good thing she didn't. She just looked at him trying to figure out who this weird looking person holding her was, but she would look at us while he was holding her and she'd smile. It was fun

I made these fun cupcakes for the primary. Aren't they so festive! and I thought they were stinking good! mmm mmmm

Where are all the Pacifiers?

Here they are! gotta love it when you find your baby with a Binky in her mouth and one in each hand walking around the house. Its even better when she trips and the one in her mouth pops out and she pops one that was already in her hand right back in her mouth and gets up and starts walking around again. This girl is too funny!

Its begining to look a lot like christmas!

Last night we went to the mesa Temple lights and it was so much fun!
This is the first time we got to bundle Makayla up in winter clothes and we absolutely LOVED it. Have you ever seen a cuter baby? We sure haven't =)

Our great friends Sarah and Jake went with us. They are having a baby girl in February and Sarah looks so stinking cute all pregnant!

our little family all snugly wuggly.

Skinny Mini

Makayla had her 9 month check up yesterday. She is still skinny mini weighing in at 17 in a half pounds. Most of her little friends that are her age weigh so much more than her, but the doctor wasn't worried. I told the doctor how much I feed her and how often and she couldn't believe she ate that much. She just burns all her food off because she is so active. She's been walking now for about 3 weeks and getting better everyday. She NEVER crawls anymore which is so weird and just shows me how fast she is growing. I'm already having to chase her around the house, but even though its pretty exhausting I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm so grateful that she is such a happy and healthy baby. Another great milestone she has hit is SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT! at six months we finally got her to sleep through the night and it has been amazing to say the least. It has made a huge difference in her attitude and both Rob and mine. She is so much more happy. Makayla sleeps 12 hours every night and doesn't wake up once. I thought when she started teething again that her waking up would come back, but it didn't and the cold didn't keep her awake either. Its been a great blessing. Life has never been better.
