5 Months

Kaylie is such a happy baby!

It doesn't take much to make her smile.

We can't get enough of her.

She is such a blessing in our family- it's been a wonderful five months!

Trying to sit up- she can't do it on her own yet, but she's working very hard on it!

Last night was the Blatter family Christmas party. I love that Santa always comes! This was Ashlyn's third time seeing Santa and Rylee's fourth time. They must have been good to see him so much! We saw him at the mall and at Grandma's ward Christmas party (which I didn't have my camera for, but now wish I had). Then Rylee and Kaylie saw him at Oma's ward party. Ashlyn wasn't feeling well and stayed home with Matt. It's fun for me to see how excited they get when they see him. Ashlyn was the first one on his lap- even before he started handing out presents!

This was Kaylie's third time sitting on Santa's lap- didn't bother her at all! I'm guessing it might be a different story next year!

Kaylie and Anna- Anna is about three months older than Kaylie. I love that they both have red hair!

This was the picture from Oma's ward party. Somebody took them and emailed them. They took one of just Rylee and Santa, but this is the only one I got. Oh well- it was Kaylie's first picture with Santa.

Hurry, Christmas, Hurry Fast!

We are very excited for Christmas around here. I might even be the most excited! I love everything about Christmas- it truly is the most wonderful time of the year! My favorite part is the break from school- I can't wait to just be home with my girls and enjoy hanging out in our pjs all day! So only five more days of school and then a full two-week break- hooray!

How can Santa not love this smile?!?

The girls love their chocolates every day.

Rylee even marks Ashlyn's calendar for her each night so she will know which one to open the next morning- she's so thoughtful!

Kaylie has been dying to have real food. She watches everybody eat and I felt so bad. So I gave her some rice cereal- she didn't like it too much. She liked the spoon though!

Don't you love Rylee's blue tongue- it seems like she always has a blue tongue. That girl sure loves her blue kool-aid! It's so easy to bathe Kaylie- she just gets in with the big girls and they hold her for me while I wash her off. And she absolutely loves it- she splashes like crazy and doesn't want to get out.
