First off all, there was Thanksgiving, which we celebrated on the Saturday following Thanksgiving. We had a full turkey dinner with the works, and Nana and Papa Green (John & Jocelyn) came over to celebrate with us.
Kaylee had another set of shots, a road trip to Florida, lots of running around in Florida, meeting lots of relatives and a few friends, a plane ride home, and a growth spurt. That was a quick three weeks! And it's almost Christmas now!!!
Here's a picture of me changing Kaylee's clothes around Thanksgiving. She thinks it's a big game and usually laughs and squirms away from me trying to get her arms into her onesies. The onesie in the following picture has now been outgrown - she seems to have had a growth spurt in the last couple weeks or so.
A few days after Thanksgiving, Papa Ted and Uncle Loran came to visit us. It was so good to see them, and we went oot and aboot (haha, private joke!) a little while they were here, with a quick trip to Caribou to pick up a few groceries and a trip to New Denmark to eat at the Valhalla restaurant. We had lots of good cooking at home too, and had a nice visit with them. Here they are with Kaylee after breakfast one morning. (L-R: Loran, Kaylee, and Ted.)
Kaylee was so tired from all the excitement that she usually slept really well when we put her down. Here she is taking a nap in her pack and play's bassinet in her room.
In the meantime, we decided to drive back to Florida with Papa Ted and Uncle Loran so we could have Kaylee meet lots of relatives. It was nice to get away for a few days - here's a shot of the fish tank at L. L. Bean in Freeport, Maine - we had a pit stop here to feed Kaylee.
Here's a picture of Kaylee wearing her pink tiara - she IS a princess, you know!!! This was taken at Robert and Connie's house in Macclenney, FL.
Here's a picture of Kaylee and I at Citrus Park Westfield Shopping Towne (otherwise known as a mall :P - stupid hoity toity names...) where we met with our best friends Matthew and Jennifer Pinder and their kids, as well as Kaylee's Aunt Courtney. Kaylee likes shopping but she got kinda tired and decided to take a nap. She barely fits in her Snugli carrier any more, and we'll need to get the next size up.
Here's the daddies and the kids: L-R: Ian & Kaylee, Emma, and Matt & Will.
A close up of Kaylee.
We occasionally had a crib available to us in a couple of hotels during our trip, but when we didn't have one, we just made do. Here's Kaylee sleeping in a cozy little bed we made up for her in our large suitcase. She didn't seem to mind... We're sure this will amuse her later in life, anyway.
Here's a small feast of her cuteness. Daddy is holding her steady in this picture. I can't believe she's three and a half months old already.
Here's a picture of Kaylee with Nana (Jocelyn) over the past weekend. Kaylee is very strong and able to stand on her own with support to steady her and keep her from falling. She's standing on the dining room table here after we've had dinner.
And here's a quick video of Kaylee from this week. She's babbling and cooing all the time now, and she's just so cute to us...We're so blessed to have such a happy, outgoing and mostly content baby. She was a wonderful little traveler during our trip. We were in the car 3 days on the way down to Florida, then in Florida for only a few days before coming back home on the plane. She was a champ! She only fussed for maybe an hour TOTAL all four travel days. We're so glad she travels well, seeing as we love to be on the road ourselves.
Kaylee got to meet her grandmother in Florida as well as lots of aunts and uncles, and some of our really close friends as well. It was so nice to see everyone - we wish we could have taken a longer trip, but we're thankful to have had the time we did.
We're just gearing up for Christmas this week, so check back next week for an update and more pictures! Merry Christmas everyone!
