Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all! It's a little early...6:30 to be exact. Kaia was the 1st one up this morning! We came over to Josh's parents at 6, thinking that surely all the other kids would be awake and ready to open gifts. When we entered the door, all was still dark. The only other ones up were Josh's brothers. So, we're waiting for all the little ones to wake up! We went to church last night and after gifts this morning we'll be heading to Grandma and Grandpa Keller's.

We've had lots going on the last couple weeks. We got our stuff moved into our new place. Now comes the fun of trying to put it all away. We're excited for a new beginning! Kaia had her 4 month appointment: She weighed 15 lbs 10 1/2 oz. She was 24 3/4" long! She's getting so big and we're glad she's growing so well! But it's getting awfully heavy carrying her around in her car seat! She also tried cereal for the first time this week! She did better than I expected...she did well with the spoon, but not as well with swallowing! But she'll get the hang of it. She seems so big now that she can start to eat like a big girl!

We're doing well...I'll post Christmas pictures later. Enjoy your day celebrating the birth of Christ!!

4 Months Old!

Kaia turned 4 months old on Saturday and we have lots of updates to share! First, Kaia has 2 new friends! Finnean Michael was born on December 2nd to our friends Michael and Courtney!! And Skyler was born to our friends Matt and Traci on December 3rd! Kaia's excited to have new friends!! Since Kaia's birth, 4 of our friends have had little ones, and they've all been boys! It's kinda funny how that works! We have some friends due in the Spring, so it'll be interesting to see if any of them have girls!

We've been busy getting ready to move and finally got the truck down to Bloomfield very late Friday night. We had Swaim family Christmas on Saturday, so we didn't get any moving done that day. But it was great to see everyone! We got the truck unloaded Sunday morning before the cold front moved in. We've had 40 degree weather this weekend, which was great for moving. In fact, it was in the 60's yesterday morning, but quickly dropped to single digits, complete with lots of sleet. We were glad we got the truck back before the weather changed. Now comes the hard part: unpacking and finding a place for everything! We have a few more things to move out of our other apartment, so we'll get that finished up this week.

Kaia's been a busy girl! She's a pro at rolling over now. She's got rolling over from her back to her tummy mastered, and is working on rolling from her tummy to her back. She's very interested in the world now, and loves looking at everything. Especially Christmas lights. She reaches for her toys and just about everything. Josh found out the hard way that he can't have food in front of him while Kaia's sitting on her lap-she dumped it all over him and the floor!! She's found her toes, so she loves reaching for those as well!

We're doing well. Busy as usual, but doing great! We'll keep you posted as we get time!! Have a great Christmas!!
