Happy Holidays!!!

We are packing to head to Texas for the holidays.  We are so excited to see our families.  This will be Cecelia's first Christmas so it will be extra special!  Cecelia just keeps growing and amazing me.  She is a talker!!  She lays on the floor and babbles constantly.  She even answers me when I say something to her.  No I have no clue what she is saying but it is so fun that she answers back.

Cecelia acheived another milestone yesterday.  She ate cereal for the first time.  It was cute.  Today she ate really well!  I was suprised she took to the cereal so well.  

John and I hope that you have a blessed Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

I have included some pictures that I took yesterday.

The best present ever...Cecelia!!

Can you belive it, Cecelia is 5 months old!  We had her well baby check up today.  She weighs 14 pounds 11 ounces and is 23 inches long!!  She has gotten to be such a big girl.  She rolls all over now and can pick up her upper body and get on her knees just not at the same time yet.  I don't give it much longer and she will be crawling!  The doctor told me today that I could start her on rice cereal.  I bought it today so we can try it tomorrow.  I am so excited.  I am very amazed by her growns both physically, and mentally.  I am enjoying every minute with her.

On the school front, I finished my third semester.  I got an A so I have maintained my 4.0.  I really enjoy my classes.  I am learning great things and I have enjoyed my professors emensly.

John is doing well.  He had to go out of town on business for a month so I spent that time in Texas helping my parents.  

We are both looking forward to this Christmas with Cecelia and our families.  I have included some pictures of Cecelia at the squadron Christmas party.  Cecelia is going to be warped...Santa doesn't ride in a sleigh in her world...he rides in a helicopter!

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
