Carter Christmas 2011

Where has the time gone! I noticed the last time I made a post was the 1st of December...blogging and being a mom is kind of hard =), but I will do my best! Our sweet Nyla is getting bigger. She is 5 months old and 14 lbs and LOVES her rice cereal. You would think we were feeding her steak the way she kicks those little legs and feet...it is so cute! Everyday is such a blessing with her...she is very smart and a little bossy (smile). She is a very happy baby! I love to see her smile! Since I haven't made a post in a while I must catch you all up with her week by week pics...

19 weeks (tummy time!)





20 weeks (helping mommy wrap presents)


D, Nyla, and I were able to share our first Christmas together. We had such a wonderful day! Nyla was able to have her grandparents here at the house...so her first Christmas was very special. I will say that Nyla racked up in gifts...she really didn't understand what was going on (she was only interested in the ball on the tree), but she is really blessed!

21 weeks (isn't she pretty!)




We look forward to sharing many more holidays together. It is my hope that D and I will instill in Nyla the true meaning of Christmas. It is not about all the food, gifts, and wearing yourself out physically and financially trying to get material things...those things are an added bonus (smile) ...but it is about focusing on our Lord and Savior who was born and later paid the ultimate price for you and me.


JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON
