Santa and Rudolph

Poor little Kabby fell and scraped her nose on her closet door. She did it the day before she met Santa. It's already healed, but it sure looked sore the first couple of days. She wasn't quite sure what to think of Santa...

After she saw that he had candy for her, she was a lot more friendly!

I think she likes candy!!

She had her 9 month appointment at the beginning of Dec. She was 28.5 inches long and weighed 19 lbs 6 oz. She also has 8 teeth and as you can tell from the picture, they are quite large and in charge!

Surgery

I had knee surgery on the 14th to repair a medial meniscus cartilage tear. I also had a cyst that needed to be removed. The surgery was a success and I'm healing quickly. I promise, my knee feels better than it looks!

You'll have to excuse the garments, that's what happens when you take your own pictures.

It's been fun hobbling after Kabella. She didn't seem so efficient with her crawling skills until after I had surgery! My mom has been great! She's brought dinner over few times, and has helped a lot with Kabella. Jamie has also been really sweet! Thanks for caring and for bringing me those yummy treats!

Costume

Kabella was a pink leopard this year for Halloween. I think the cutest part of the costume was her tail!
I didn't realize that I had drawn her nose on upside-down until it was too late. No way she was going to let me erase it and try again!

M E O W!

Pictures

Kabella had her pictures taken awhile ago, and I finally got them back. These are just a few of my favorites.

Wyoming Trip

We went to Wyoming again to visit family. It was a short trip, but it sure was great to see everyone.

Kabella met her identical twin cousins, Reagan and Riley, for the first time...

She had fun playing with the donk-donks.

Daddy's little girl...

Getting spoiled by Grandpa and Grandma Stanger...

Rakin' Rocks

I just wanted to say how proud I am of Molly for helping a friend in the ward rake rocks. What a good example she is to me! You can tell just by looking at the pictures that she had a blast! :)




See just how much joy service has brought into her life! :)

7 Months

Kabella is now 7 months old. At her 6 month appointment, she weighed 16 lbs 13 oz and was 27'' long. She has 5 teeth and is now ready to start to crawling!


Showing off her teeth and a really cute smile. :)

6 Months

Kabella is now 6 months old and growing like a weed. Her 6 month appointment is next week, and I can't wait to see how big she is now.

We went to St. George last weekend to hang out with Dev and Lexi. Kabella went swimming for the first time while we were there.

Testing the water...feels pretty good!
Enjoying the perfect weather.
Learning to doggy paddle.
Overall, I think she enjoys the water.

Hangin' with the boyz

This picture of Jake, Kabella and Brooks was too cute, I just had to post it!

5 1/2 Months

I really wanted to get some picutes of Kabella while she was sleeping. It was quite the ordeal to get her to fall asleep with her little hat on and then place her on her tummy without waking her up. It was worth it though because I got a couple really cute picts of her sawin' logs.

It was pretty funny the weird looks she gave me when she woke up. She didn't quite understand what was going on.

I decided as long as I had the camera out I would take a couple other quick picts of her. She's doing really well sitting up on her own.

Mmmmm Toe Jam...

Partridge Reunion

Kabella met her Great-Grandma and her Great-Great-Grandma for the first time. This is a 5 generation picture of Kabella, Justin, his dad, Kent, Kent's mother, Erlenne, and Erlenne's mother (Justin couldn't remember her name), we'll just call her Grandma Davis.

That night we heard what I thought was thunder, but it turned out to be the fire works for Lindon days. I think Kabella really liked the lights but not so much the sound.


Good thing daddy was there to protect her from those scary noises!

Pioneer Days

For the 24th of July, we headed over to Wyoming for the 24th celebration. Kabella had a great time watching the parade and hanging out with her cousins. Here is uncle Jake with Cody and Kaden. Justin and Kabella getting lost in the big town of Burlington.

Bryanna and Kabella hanging out at Grandma's house.

Kabella has noticed her toes, and loves grabbing them.

Solids

Kabella had her 4 month appointment on the 16th. She is now 14 lbs 9 oz and 25 1/2 inches long. We started her on solids this last week. I was expecting her to hate the rice cereal and spit every drop of it out, but she did really well!


Growing up way too fast!

4 months

Kabella is now 4 months old and is already sportin' 2 bottom teeth. She's groing up way too fast! Here are a few of my favorite festive 4th of July pictures. Thanks Jamie for all your help and for letting me use your cute porch as the background.
