We had a good time visiting with everyone over the holidays. We saw lots of family, and due to ALL of this family getting sick most of the time we werent able to see as many friends as we would have liked to. I for the first time in my life realized how DRY Utah really is. Jason's parents put a humidifier in our room we were staying in because we both felt like we couldn't breath since it was so dry. You know when you wake up and get that itchy feeling in your thoat? well we all had that! during the days Kailah was good despite her fever and coughing. but nights over the holidays were not so much fun. I have never had to hold Kailah to help her fall asleep or get up in the middle of the night to feed her or bring her into bed with us, but I felt like that was all I was doing to help her go back to sleep. Jason and I both agreed this was the hardest nights we had with her since she was a newborn.
Even though it was tough leaving all our friends and family this time, I think we were all happy to be back in the warmth. Kailah definately knew we were home. And she's
Kinda back to her normal self. she's pretty much back on her schedule but she must have really liked the attention she got in utah cause she wants it like crazy here. I'll blog more about her later since she will be 9 months this week and I have lots to say! :)
The first pictures are christmas and christmas eve, Kailah with her Raleigh cousins. I didn't get any with the Miasnik side. oops! Jaylee and Kai at Jaylees dance recital, these two were unseperateable. and Kai with her gramee pamee.
I took tons of pictures of a lot of my nieces and nephews so keep checking my photo blog throughout the next couple weeks. I just need to photoshop them and find time to post them.
I have to admitt seeing how big Kailah is gives me hope, ha ha to keep going. I am not kidding, I am not having the easiest time transitioning into motherhood. I had to smile that you had to sleep with and hold Kailah all night long because that is all I do. I sure hope she grows out of it. Sorry we missed you this year but we hope to meet up soon! Keep in touch. Oh and I agree, I am going to try and spend less time on the computer as well.
ReplyDeleteWe LOVED having you all here for the holiday's. We miss you very much already. We grew so attached to Kailah. Miss her so very much and miss those sweet cheeks and smiles! Can't wait to see you again. Hopefully we can make it down for her birthday! We will plan on it as of right now. I admire your great goals for the year Kristen. I wish that I was more that way. You have inspired me to do better in that way. Give Kai a big kiss from G & G Raleigh!
ReplyDeleteKristin, Kailah is so precious! I just want to squeeze her!
