Happy New Year!

Kylie is sure enjoying her Christmas presents this week.  And also Hayden's Christmas presents.  Hopefully when Hayden is old enough to actually play with his presents Kylie doesn't get all mad that he is playing with something that she assumed was hers.  But so far she is good at sharing!  She likes to hand Hayden her stuffed animals when he is sleeping - it's pretty cute.

Kylie started somersaulting this week off her tramp.  She will somersault right onto the love sac.  She has tried to do it other places, but it works best off the tramp.

While she enjoys her new toys, she also still enjoys her old past times too.  Especially picture-taking.  Hayden and I are her favorite models:

Hayden is staying awake a lot more and is finally getting onto a schedule that I can deal with.  He still won't go to sleep for the night until sometime between 11 PM and 1 AM though.  That is kind of hard, but I am finally adjusting to the 5 hours of sleep per night deal.

He has also been excellent at holding up his head lately and has even started to smile more!  We had his one month check up and he is at 10 lbs 13 oz - turning into a chunk!  His cheeks are getting so cute!  He also likes to play on the floor more, just waving (or jerking) around his arms and legs and looking around, while Brandon or I guard him from potential Kylie run-overs.

And this is what Kylie did when she noticed I was taking a bunch of pictures of Hayden:

We didn't really celebrate New Year's Eve this year, though the fireworks started right after we put Kylie to sleep and I thought it was too bad she missed them.  But we did deliver some New Years plates to a few people and Kylie had so much fun helping to deliver them all around the neighborhood.  Basically doing anything outside of the house she gets super excited about!

Saturday we did something we've been talking about for a while... we took a side down from Kylie's crib so now she has a 'big girl' bed!  For her nap she wasn't willing to sleep in it, so Brandon made a bed for her on the floor... but that night she did so well!  We put her to bed and she played for about an hour in her room before it got quiet.  So Brandon snuck in to make sure she hadn't pulled out her night lights and gotten electrocuted (yes, we have all these new paranoid fears now that she has access to her whole room at night...) and found her curled up in bed under the blankets!  And the next morning she got up and was super excited that she could let herself out of her room and come wake us up when she was ready, not when we decided to finally get out of bed and get her ;).
