Snow!!

Well, it snowed - so of course I had to get Kayleigh bundled up and take a few photos.

Lots of hugs and kisses :)

ps - two posts in a row does not a habit make - so dont get your hopes up!

Some Updated photos of Kayleigh

So, I was talking to mom, and while she was on speaker phone, she asked Kayleigh if she could learn how to use mommy's camera to take some photos of herself and send them to Grandma.

Well Grandma, here they are :)

In no particular order:

This is why feeding anything to a baby with tomato sauce is a recipe for more laundry :) *NOTE* the short bangs are after we fixed them from the lopsided

cut (see below for a photo of it) and in this photo, the bangs have had a few weeks to grow out a bit!

Daddy taking a nap with a snuggly Kayleigh as she watches her favourite show :)

Kayleigh at Pizza Hut in Glasgow. She did not mind the hat (super cute!) loved chasing her chicken bits around the tray, and playing with the red balloon (that you cant see - its just outside the frame!)

Kayleigh making a funny face at mom!

Super cute Kayleigh - with the really REALLY bad haircut! Check out those lopsided bangs!

This is how we found her one morning. Somehow she had managed to squirm under the bumper!

Doing her belly crawl backwards.

Cute in her red shirt and jeans in the middle of all her toys!

Now, here is her Christmas Stocking that I made for her this past weekend!

Well, other than that, nothing much else to report. She has 2 teeth now. Barely! They have JUST broken through the surface, so I will give them a few more weeks and take a photo.

Have a wonderful Christmas Season everyone!

Lots of hugs and kisses,

Karin, David and Kayleigh

Some updated photos from our trip to Canada

Enjoy!!!!

Sweet Always

So, had Kayleigh in a cute little summer dress on Saturday, as it was actually summery weather!!!

Some friends came over to do some stamping as well, so had to put her in the dress that matched the Stampin'Up designer series paper called Sweet Always. I see some scrapbook pages in the future :)

Well, here is our sweet little Kayleigh:









Hugs and kisses,
Karin, David and Kayleigh

Yummmm!!!!!!

OK - so, here are some photos to update everyone on Kayleigh.



First, Dave went to KrispyKream, and got a cinnamon apple donught. It was very yummy - and Kayleigh figures that if it is good enough for Daddy or Mommy, then it is good enough for her.



Next, we took her for a walk in the new baby backpack. She quite enjoyed it.



And she was super cute learning how to sit and playing with her rattle. No matter how hard she tried, it just would not fit into her mouth!! But, she was determined!!






Finally, grabbing her toes on daddys lap :)



I hope you enjoy :)

Hugs,

Karin, Dave and of course Kayleigh :)

Kayleigh and her octopus

OK - so I got Kayleigh this octopus toy - each leg has a different activity type thing on it - a giant button, sounds all crinkley, a mirror, a tiney face, a zipper, shoe laces, you get the idea.

Well, she love to play and chew on it, and has to go everywhere with us. Oh, and it jingles, which she loves.

So, we went out for a drive last Saturday - Kayleigh was refusing to go down for a nap, and being all fussy, so I said "right - thats enough - we are going for a drive!" in the hopes that she would nap a bit on the drive. She did.

Anyways, we came accross a windmill in a field, and decided to go take a look. I snapped a few shots of Kayleigh while she was being all cute like gumming the crinkley leg of her octopus!




Too cute!

Hugs,
Karin, Dave and Kayleigh

food!!!!

OK - so Kayleigh loves food - she loves it so much, that it is a full body experience! Cute huh?







Note to self - get larger bibs and a high chair!

Hugs,
Karin, Kayleigh and Dave

Photo update!!

Hi everyone - here are some update pictures of Kayleigh - enjoy!

So, I have concluded that Kayleigh go her Daddy's toes! Take a look and let me know what you think!




Here she is chewing on her ribbon sheep - one of her favorite toys :)



In her jolly jumper - she has gotten it figured out now and quite enjoys it!



And finally her sitting in my lap giggling and smiling at you!




love you all!
Karin, Dave and Kayleigh

first "fancy" picture

OK - so here is Kayleigh first official portrait. Love how it turned out. Was easy to do - propped her up on some pillows, covered with a GIANT white sheet that I then hung over the back of a chair behind her to create the white wall, and got down on my tummy with the camera. Took LOTS of photos to get a good one with her looking at the camera with a cute expression on her face.

Enjoy!

OK - I am now a few ounces lighter......

.....after having my gall bladder removed that is!

Keyhole surgery went well, have 4 small incisions on my abdomen. The one in the belly button hurts the worst.

There were 5 gall stones in the bile duct as well - 3 small ones about 3mm diameter, and 2 large ones about 6mm diameter.

Overall - I am waiting for the pain to go away now, and I get the stitches out on Friday. Hope to be able to hold and cuddle Kayleigh in a few more days once my abdomen is not so sensitive.

Hugs,
Karin

Cutest cookie!

OK - another cute photo! Not much to say right now - typing with one hand while holding a screaming baby!

But, I have to agree with her t-shirt - she is the cutest cookie in the jar!

Hugs,
Karin

Video!

OK - for anyone that wants to see some super cute video of Kayleigh with her 3rd real laugh (first went to Daddy, second to Mommy, and you get to see the third) then click on the following link and wait for it to load.

You might need to update your Windows Media Player or Apple Quicktime to play the video if you have really old versions of the software.

Cheers,
Karin

Smiles and Giggles

OK - so the munchkin is now 9 weeks old, and is full of smiles and giggles - and not just from gas!

It is very cute, and makes her seem like a real person now!

She also loves her mobile and her evening bath. And, she sleeps through the night - usually!!!

There is aparently some way to put video up on these blogs, so I will see if I can figure that out, as we have some video of her watching her mobile - it is super cute!!

Love you all!
Karin, Dave and Kayleigh

Kayleigh Mackenzie Fidler

Well, to assist in the sharing of our lives here in London - and to show off our little angel Kayleigh, we have started this family blog.

Enjoy!

Love Dave, Karin and Kayleigh.

My Two Girls

It's been a while since we've updated this so I thought that I would post a picture of our little bundle of joy. This was taken on Feb 4, while Kayleigh was only 2 wks old.

Cheers,
Dave.
