Holicky Christmas!

We are now done with Christmas. This past weekend we headed up north to the frozen tundra to celebrate Christmas with Francis family. It was a great time! Kynzley had A LOT of fun playing with her older cousins and getting to meet the new member of the bunch, baby Nora.

There is a road there. (looking out the front window of the car during a blizzard on our way to Tom and Amanda's)

Causing trouble!

9 month update!

Kynzley just had her 9 month check up (it was pushed back do to our doctor being sick and the holidays ... she is almost 10 months :-) ) and she did great! She has finally hit 20 lbs and she is 30 inches long. She has mommy's body: super short legs and a VERY LONG torso. Some of her shirts are now 2T so they will cover her belly! She also saw an eye specialist. We are starting to notice a lazy eye but the specialist said as of right now her eyes look great and they will see us back in 6 months.

Kynzley has been a very busy girl lately! She is crawling all over the place and has mastered the steps. She is very quick! If you are not watching her closely you will find her up the stairs and in a whole different room. She is also doing very well standing on her own :-). She pulls herself up on everything and occasionally she will let go and stand like a big girl! She is doing awesome and we cannot believe in a few short months we will be planning her first birthday!!!!!

Francis went ice fishing today and did great! He brought home a 6 lb, 21.5 inch large mouth bass. Kynzley was very happy for him! Usually I out fish him so I was a little jealous, but we are both very excited to take Kynzley fishing when it warms up!

Special Visitors!

Grandpa and Grandma Holicky came to visit! Kynzley had a lot of fun showing grandpa and grandma how big she has gotten and all her new skills! It was a great visit!

Grandma had Kynzley giggling really hard during a game of peek-a-boo with her dolly

Kynzley and grandma read A LOT during the visit - I think it's going to be "their thing" :-)

Kynzley was telling them how much she enjoyed their visit!

Merry Christmas!

We had a great first Christmas with Kynzley! All our family Christmas's came before or are after Christmas so we were able to enjoy Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at home spending quality time with her! She had a blast opening her gifts (even let out a squeal or two Ü)! Francis and I have MANY Christmas traditions and it will be fun to share with Kynzley as the years go on! We hope everyone had a Very Merry Christmas!

She was actually squealing in this picture

Very independent

Sledding Fun!

Kynzley got a new sled for Christmas! After a perfect snowfall Friday morning we took a walk to Nana and Papa's house.
