Keeping up with the Jones': Ribbons and Bows

Ok, Ok so it’s taken a little longer then it should have! We have been busy with a mobile Nugget and getting our life back in order after the holidays! But finally…here it is

Just before Christmas Kaelen's GG Jodi and Great Aunt Kathy came by to see us, it was such a nice visit. Thank you so much for the outfits, we love them!

Kaelen’s first Christmas was just as it should have been! We spent the night at my Momma and Poppa’s and by ‘WE’ I mean all the Patton girls including their children and Baby Daddy’s. Meg came up from SanMenEgo to exchange presents and then be on her way up north. Of course the only thing that Kaelen really wanted to play with were the ribbons and bows on the packages and Momma did most of the opening but rest assure she enjoyed every piece of wrapping paper!

We woke up Christmas morning and there it was, Kaelen’s new favorite thing…her walker! Let me tell you this girl loves this thing…it took a little warming up but now it’s a lifesaver for us and a whole new world for her. Reverse is by far her favorite thing to do. Auntie M got her some super cool drums with lights, Aunt Holly gave her some awesome toys and the little girl made out with ultra hip clothes all the way around. Kyle got to experience ‘Egg-N-Stuff’ for the first time and I think he’s hooked.

After breakfast and playing for a little while it was off to Arizona for Christmas with Grandma, Grandpa, GG and Poppa Tipton, and the rest of the fam. Again, she was spoiled. Grandma Jones got her, her other favorite thing. A table full of lights and buttons and songs to sing. Kaelen stands for hours (or minutes) on end at this thing. She is getting a little curious and trying to walk around it like she knows how already…this has resulted in her on her back or face first on the floor and a few tears but again she loves every minute of it.

All in all, Christmas was perfect. Kaelen was spoiled beyond repair and is having a blast with her new found independence. We are having so much fun chasing her around and playing with her. She’s such a happy baby, we are truly blessed!

As for New Years…we’re getting old! I fell asleep putting Kaelen down and Kyle past out on the couch drinking wine by himself. We did wake up in time to watch the ball drop and smooch, then it was off to bed. We get our sleep when we can I tell you!
