Let it Snow

In her dance recital debut, Karaline performed a routine to “Let it Snow” at the YMCA’s Breakfast for Santa. 

127 133

I think she might have had the biggest fan club – 18 people ranging from baby brother to grandparents and everyone in between!

 

The following week was “watch week” at class.  I know that I am impartial, but I really think Karaline is one of the best at listening and following directions.  She did everything her teacher asked.  Unlike several of the others in her class, she did not run, scream, or do her own thing during class.  She takes her dancing seriously, which I haven’t decided if that is a good thing or not! 

She also has the ballet lingo down – which is totally foreign to me – and has been quick to correct me when I call something the wrong name. 

Her ballet report card indicates she does a great job and is showing improving dance technique!  We are so proud of her!

.:Stats- 25 lbs – according to Daddy and the bathroom scale, 30 inches long according to mommy’s measuring tape.

.: What You’re Wearing- 12 months, size 4 diapers

.: Firsts- Thanksgiving, pictures with Santa, meeting Uncle Craig

.: From Head To Toe- your hair is blonde and lays so nicely on your head, your cheeks have been getting really red, cute smile, and those lady killer blue eyes

.: Loves- chewing and drooling, pulling off your socks, sitting up, exersaucer, playing with sister, holding your own bottle

.: Dislikes- laying down, being treated like a baby!

.: Eating- loves carrots, peas, peaches, applesauce.  You DO NOT like bananas and the jury is still out on green beans.  You will tolerate sweet potatoes and squash.  You like rice and oatmeal cereals mixed with fruit.  You still like your 8 oz several times throughout the day and you drink steadily from the time we get home from Mardie’s house until bedtime!  We have tried a couple of different sippy cups with apple juice – we are still working on that!

.: Sleeping- you still sleep through the night.  Bedtime varies for you – anywhere between 8 and 10.  Usually you will be sitting on Daddy or Mommy’s lap and just fall asleep sitting straight up.  You do not like to lay back.   We have to rock you sitting straight up until you finally relax and give in to sleep!  You wake up every morning at 7:30!
