Backtracking just a little, (aren't I always?) in November our lovely friend, Leslie Pendleton, took some great family photos of us to kick off the holidays! Here are some of my faves!
Month 9 was a little bit crazy in terms of milestones, Sailor officially started crawling with her belly off of the floor, as well as pulling up in her crib, not to mention cutting two more teeth (a total of 6 at this point), and having her first fever :-( (we made it pretty far on that one, I know, and as sad as it was, I was thankful that so much time had passed! I thought it might have been her teeth, but the Doc mentioned that she usually doesn't attribute fevers to teething if it was over 100. It was like 101, so the verdict is out on that one!)
Her nine month pics took place just days after the fever so I think that explains the lack of smiles :-(
We did manage to get a little goofiness to come out...
Case and point...
She also has officially gotten over pureed food, so here she is sampling toast (with squash smeared all over it...sneaky Mommy)
And Daddy's homemade banana bread (A clear winner!)
And then there was Christmas!!!
Naturally, we spent the entire month dressing in themed outfits, because they are my absolute FAVE!
Or in some cases, just Santa hats...(That may or may not have a picture of Justin Bieber hiding on the back of them...don't ask!)
Our Arkansas family came to town the week before to celebrate with us! (Yes, we celebrate Christmas in just a diaper sometimes, Hey! we live in southeast Louisiana! And Sailor also woke up from her nap with another little fever :-(
And just like that...OVER IT!
Christmas Eve!
True feelings come out...
She ended up pretty freaked out by this adorable rocking horse my Mom gave her...
Our little skeptic...
Her very own cell phone! (That does not deter her AT ALL from actual cell phones...FAIL!) At least she loves it...(When not around real cell phones...) Thanks MiMi!!
We Love MiMi!
A very sleepy Sailor opening her Christmas Eve present, "The Night Before Christmas."
Which she then proceeded to attempt to rip apart/eat as I tried my darnedest to have a monumental family moment of us reading it to her on the eve of her first Christmas...sigh...maybe next year!
Seriously, we had so much fun playing Santa! No one told me how fun it is! Perhaps because it won't be so fun once you're building toys (or desks...sorry Mom!) at 2 am, but this year, it was my favorite!
Our Santa Baby on Christmas Day!
And later with her BFF, Ellie! (Getting this photo, was like herding cats! Major props to twin-mommies who do this often!)
And finally, a little New Years kiss with my loves! 2013 was amazing! Bring it, 2014!
Ps. You know that saying, "Never wake a sleeping baby?" You should definitely wake a sleeping baby when she spends most of New Years afternoon/evening sleeping. Otherwise, although you may get an adorable picture kissing your cute- as -can - be baby, she will be ready to party, while you on the other hand, have been struggling to stay awake since 9 pm!
Next up, birthday party-planning :-( :-( :-(!
