New Years Eve

I cannot believe that today is the last day of 2013 and what a year it has been.  The BEST year I would have to say.  We celebrated 2013 New Year's with the anticipation of our little bundle to arrive.  At the time, I was only 3 months pregnant and wanting June to come quickly.  Boy did it!

Crazy to the think first half of the year I was pregnant and the second half we have a beautiful little girl.  The first 6 months I was wondering what we were going to have, who little one would look like, how labor and delivery was going to go, finding out I had gestastional diabetes, waiting to feel the first kick and wondering how big my belly was going to be.  Then June 22nd came out of no where.  

Now we have the most beautiful girl in the whole entire world.  She is so sweet, but can be a little trickster.  She will let you know she's tired of something and wants to move onto something else.  B says she is just like her Momma, ha!  We have experienced her first smile, laugh, projectile vomiting, first bath, being peed on, rolling over, sitting up, first holidays, tasting solids and so much more.  Wonder what 2014 will have in store for us.  All I can say is that I'm looking forward to a lifetime of Miss Vivian Rose Kinard!

Vivian's First Christmas

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!


We certainly did!  I know Vivian won't remember her first Christmas, but we surely will.  My parents arrived on Sunday to stay the week.  I'm glad they were able to share this time with us.


My Mom out did herself with all the food.  I definitely put on some lbs that's for sure!

Christmas Eve spread.

Christmas Day food.

German Chocolate, yummy!!
Christmas morning breakfast...little bread.  Sugar deliciousness!
 Mom and Dad have certainly enjoyed their time so far with this little rugrat.


Great thing about pumping, others can feed Vivian :)

Christmas Day wore her out!  Memom doesn't mind a bit.

Get him, Vivian!

Papa eating those little piggies.

Love this!  She's having a ball!

Who's being silly?
Vivian loved all the gifts she received.

What do I have here guys?  Better be good!




A remote from Memom and Papa


Blocks from Uncle Chris, Aunt Suzanne and Audrey.


Thanks Uncle Chris, Aunt Suzanne and Audrey for my glow worm and blocks!!


A piggy bank from Memom and Papa.  Now give me a quarter :)



This one is big!

A high chair!




Christmas morning.

I got more presents?  Who are these from?  Santa!

I got this Mommy



A scoot about from Papaw

I think this was our favorite!



So much fun!!
 Us adults and Brody got a little something as well.



Mine and B's gift together :)  I've always wanted a mixer.
Lots of baking to be happening in the near future.
 
B got me 3 Pandora Charms that represent Vivian's First Christmas.  Love!  



Santa came to see Mr. Brody.
 We had some great family time.  




Give me that slobber!!!! 

Likes the tree.

Mommy and me exercises.  Gotta burn a few calories!

Doing a few crunches.

Yes, we match.  Vivy's Dress, My sweater

Love my little family!

Ruffle bottom.
 
Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all.

All fancy for Christmas.


 
 Mine and B's jammies, Vivy's similar here
 

We had a wonderful first Christmas as a family of 3.  Vivian certainly is the best present we could have ever asked for!!  I can't believe next Christmas will have a 1-1/2 year old!   It will be here before we know it :)
