Spring Break Visit from The Kellys

Sam's parents came down for spring break. We just had a quick visit with them, since they were spending most of their time in Grand Jct. with Sam's grandparents. It was great to see them and we were able to spend time with Scott, Michelle and the kids as well as Steve.

This is the story of my life right now.. You can't expect anything less when you marry a Kelly. Luckily, I enjoy it too!

10 months.. really?!

I always say this, but honestly 2 more months and I will have a 1 year old. I'm in the midst of party planning and it is just too hard to believe. Bristol is really starting to act so much older, like a little person! It's crazy how that just happens.

Dear Bristol,

What a fun month this has been. So much has happened and you are really starting to become a little girl. You are slipping out of that baby stage so fast and I'm holding on so tight. It's hard to just let it happen, but I guess I don't have a choice. I feel that you are changing and growing so fast. It's just too fast. 

This month you have had so much happen:

• Your great grandma Flory sent you a Valentine's bear and you are inseparable with it. It is so cute, it just makes you feel so much better. You giggle whenever you spot Mr. Bear and then when you grab him you hug him and giggle so hard. I love that!
• You are starting to reach to us so we will either take you from the other or pick you up. That is fun to see.
• You had your first sucker this month. You loved it. You kept taking it out of your mouth and grabbing it then sticking it back in. It was so sweet for you that you were a little overwhelmed. Needless to say it was a huge mess. 
• You are now wanting to only feed yourself. You shake your head when you are done or don't want that food. You are becoming a picky eater.
• You are going through that separation anxiety thing. We were dreading this and hoping you wouldn't, but it's here. I can't even go to my class at the gym without them coming to get me. I hope it goes by soon. I do love that you miss me, but I want you to have fun with other people. 
• You love watching Finding Nemo. I think it is all the colors that are in the film.
• This month you had RSV. It wasn't a horrible case of it but you were still sick for 3 weeks. Then after that you caught a stomach virus that I had which made it go for another week. Poor thing!
• You are starting to show you personality so much now. It is fun to see how giggly and cheerful you are. You are the BEST baby!

Bristol, we love you so much. Your first birthday is right around the corner and I cannot believe it. Where have these 10 months gone? It just goes way too fast. You are turning into a little girl and it is so fun to see this happen. We love you always.

Love,

Mommy
