11th day of Christmas

On the 11 day of Christmas my Mallie helped spread the spirit of Christmas with caroling with the Cowboy Church. Mallie hung out with aunt Megan and uncle John, uncle Kyle and aunt Jamie and BeBe and Grandpa Jimbo.

We had a fun family night filled with dinner and games. Mallie was a great sport even though we confirmed the poor baby has an ear infection and started her on antibiotics.

10th day of Christmas

On the 10th day of Christmas my Mallie Bear went to Cowboy Church, explored an excersaucer (she a bit too small but seemed to like it), laughed at uncle Kyle and aunt Jamie and had an heart to heart with her BeBe.

She is still a bit sick so all she wants for Christmas is to feel better and for her stuffy nose to go away!!

9th day of Christmas

On the 9th day of Christmas my sweet Mallie didn't feel so good. Thankfully her stuffy nose and fever hit the same day we got to BeBe and Grandpa Jimbo's so they were able to love on her and help her feel better. She pretty much spent the entire day sleeping... Until that evening when we went to Silver Wings for the Roger Creager concert!

8th day of Christmas

On the 8th day of Christmas my Mallie celebrated Grandpa TC's birthday with him and her MeMe.

She also celebrated the start of a break from work for mommy and daddy!

7th day of Christmas

On the 7th day of Christmas my Mallie spent the day with her Daddy...

And I forgot to take more pictures of her...

5 days until Christmas!!!

6th day of Christmas

On the 6th say of Christmas my Mallie was double trouble... Errr cuteness with future BFF Monroe.

5th day of Christmas

On the 5th day of Christmas my sweet Mallie spent the day with her future BFF Monroe and my good friend Denise. She seemed to have a great time! Thanks Denise!

4th day of Christmas

On the 4th day of Christmas my sweet Mallie learned the art of the fake cough... She apparently heard me or Mr. Whimsy cough and mimicked it. I thought it was a real cough and was worried my sweet baby was getting sick right before Christmas so she got lots of extra cuddles today.

I finally realized she was faking it (in large part thanks to my mom) and her big giggles throughout the day. Note- I don't think she actually thought hmmm let's trick mom, I think it was just a trick she learned and liked to repeat. Regardless, I fell for it!

On another note, I am so excited Christmas and family time is almost here! Can't wait to see my non Texas siblings and their spouses :)

3rd day of Christmas

On the 3rd day of Christmas my sweet spent time at the Ark Church nursery with Ms. Kerri. We love The Ark!

2nd day of Christmas

On the 2nd day if Christmas my sweet Mallie spent time cuddling with mommy and daddy. We ended the evening with a story.

We are blessed to have our little girl and our hearts break for those that have lost loved ones and are hurting right now.

1st day of Christmas

On the first day of Christmas my Mallie said to me... I'm not done buying presents for under the tree!

Seeing Santa

Two weekends ago we took Mallie to see the all important man in red... Santa! She was fine sitting on his lap being held by him.  It was past bedtime so she was all out of smiles for the day though!

Before we went to see Santa we went to a local Christmas Parade.  Mallie is not a big fan of fire truck sirens or marching bands right now... but she does like the bright lights (especially if they flash)!

First "Real" Food

Mallie had her first taste of "real" food tonight!  She had 4 tsp of rice cereal and ate about half of it.  She seemed pretty unimpressed but I don't think that will last too long!  My sweet baby is growing up FAST!
