Merry Christmas!!!!

Kaelyn's first Christmas was a hit!!!! We went over to Grandma and Grandpa Renstrom's for dinner on Wednesday and then we opened gifts. We got to see Uncle Kip, Aunt Penny, Uncle Buddy, cousins Tony, Jacob, Sera, Noah, Sunny, our niece Lucia, her husband Albert, and their son Alex, and the missionaries. It was crazy!!!!! But we had a good time and it was nice to see everyone!!!! Kaelyn had fun opening her presents and playing with the paper and ribbon! She was up until 10pm but did very well! Then on Thursday morning we woke up and opened a few presents from my parents and some toys we got for Kaelyn. It was low key! All in all it was a great Christmas!!!

Christmas day also marked Kaelyn being 8 months old! She has been learning a lot and getting more mobile. She has started crawling-army style! She uses one arm to pull herself forward. She is attempting to crawl on all fours, but it is easier to scoot along. Her two bottom teeth are coming in and have finally both popped through. She can hold herself up while standing but can't pull herself to stand yet. She can also get into a sitting position from laying on the floor. She loves to be tickled and has the best laugh!!! We have been trying some finger foods, but she doesn't seem to really like solid foods yet, although she had her first cheerios and seemed to like them. She likes to hold on to them more than she likes to put them in her mouth and eat them! She loves her bottle and will stick it into her mouth as we are going up the stairs for bed time!! She definitely will let you know when she wants it!!! We have tried a sippy cup, but she doesn't seem to like that either. She would much rather just drink right out of a cup! She is getting a lot better at waving although she hasn't mastered it quite yet. She also loves her stuffed animals and blankies. Every night before bed she pulls her blanket up over her head and snuggles in! She definitely likes to cuddle too, which I love!!!!!
