New Years and some other stuff

My friend Teresa and I are both pregnant so we were the DD's of the night

Kylee has been having fun in this move with all the boxes

they have multiple forms of entertainment

she loves to try to crawl under the baby gate up the stairs. of course, there's no way she could fit, but she still tries all the time

happy baby!

Now that I'm pretty much done nursing, Josh does Kylee's bedtime routine. I love that!

Kylee had PB&J for the first time a few days ago. Not a big fan but I'm still trying every day

I have drill this weekend, and next week I'll probably be doing final moving stuff cuz we move on Friday, so I probably wont post for awhile. Grandpa and Grammy get here in just 2 weeks!

beach day!

We went out to Barber's point on sunday afternoon. We were supposed to be at the lagoons but they were full and had no room for parking. Barber's point is an awesome place for surfing but the water is pretty rough for a kid.
There's E2 in the pic, too!

kylee LOVED LOVED LOVED playing in the sand

so daddy built a sandcastle, but she just wanted to destroy it

kylee hated being in this floaty toy

hope your all staying warm!

Josh's Christmas Present

For Christmas I gave Josh a shark cage tour...and I went with him! This is hard to see but here is a shark near the surface
we had to get up at 4am to start the tour at 6. the visibility is best in the morning and thats when the sea is the most calm

had to throw in a few pictures of kylee. here she is making her "eskimo kisses" face. when you say eskimo kisses she gives them to you, but she has a mean look on her face and is not very gentle. lol.

playing with DaDa

back to the shark cage

it really was a beautiful day. on the way back we even spotted whales so the Captain turned the ship around so we could whale watch for awhile. it was awesome.

Our Christmas

Lil Miss Kylee all dressed up before we went to church on Christmas Eve

before we went to church and before her dress was on, she played in the laundry basket for about a half hour. amazing the things they love...

Kylee opening her first gift. after that she lost interest and just wanted to eat everything

speaking of eating...cinnamon rolls i made! this is definitely an Engstrom Christmas morning tradition

Kylee with her first baby doll, a cabbage patch newborn. Thanks Papa and Grandma Wright, she loves it. When we ask her where her baby is, she either looks at it or goes to get it.

Our friends got Kylee this adorable Santa hat

First time hosting Christmas dinner and everything turned out awesome. Couldnt have asked for a better dinner and night

We made dinner and the night very informal...in fact, it was pajama night

Kylee playing on her Barbie quad this morning. She is in love/hate with it. She does know how to use it, just not steer it.

The first time we took Kylee to see Santa she screamed the whole time. We were supposed to get emailed those pictures, but the Army somehow lost them. Anyways, one of the times Kylee was at the dr for ear infections Santa was wandering around and thank goodness for camera phones, this time she did great :) an update on Kylee...this batch of medicine runs out tomorrow and we have a follow up monday. hoping we get through this weekend without another trip to the E.R. kylee has an appt Jan.19th to begin the preliminaries of getting tubes in her ear.

my pretty little princess

stealing my apple. always stealing my food...

This is Kylee playing on the pony Grandpa and Grammy got her for her birthday. This is her new favorite toy, I cant believe how much she loves it!

some random pics

this weekend was the first time we gave Kylee entire pancakes of her own...and she ate three!
look at her hair. lol. she really doesnt look happy here but i think its because i kept trying to get her to look at me and she just wanted to eat

we went and saw santa on saturday. she was not a fan at all. i'm suprised because she has absolutely no stranger anxiety whatsoever.

playing on the pony grammy and grandpa got her for her birthday. she loves it!

what a cutie pie! she's so good when josh clips her nails, just lays there...

some Christmas pictures

we took christmas pictures a few nights ago. here are all the duds. i didnt get around to "prettying them up" but since they are the dud pictures...no biggie
i think we got this dress and hat from alaina

yeah...i think her dress is a little small. i found xmas dresses on sale for $9 yesterday so i bought her a new one for pics with santa

i already posted pictures of her birthday on facebook so i didnt think i needed to put them here...but if anyone doesnt have facebook let me know and i'll put 1st pics here as well!
