A Month of Firsts!

 2011 ended with a month of firsts.  

Here are just a few of them.  Not in any particular order.

Livi celebrated her first holiday, Christmas.  Technically she was asleep for most of the day, but what do you expect from a baby only 8 days old?!?  It also was our first Christmas in Florida.  It was a nice change of pace.  We didn't have to travel anywhere else but just enjoy our family of four (plus Wrigley, don't want to forget about him).  Don't get me wrong, we love spending time with our extended families, but it's nice being able to start traditions with our very own too.

Brody's first time holding his Sissy.  It was definitely a BIG moment.  He was so proud, as were we.:)

Livi's first time meeting her grandparents.  Well, she met Nana in a box aka Face Time, but you get the idea.  Oh, I'm still waiting on a picture from Granny of Papa Don and Liv.  I'm telling ya, I need to get better at remembering to take pictures!

Livi's first appointment at Dr. Witte's office.  She did really well.  Brody had his 18 month appointment then too.

Dr. Witte let Brody try out her stethoscope too.

Livi's first sponge bath at home.  She was NOT a big fan.

Livi's first time at the Brevard County Zoo.  We actually went to the zoo to see Santa, however I read the times wrong.  Unfortunately, as we were pulling into the zoo we saw Mr. and Mrs. Claus leaving.  Since we had packed the kiddos into the car and everything, we thought might as well see the animals.  We ended up seeing the giraffes for the first time, up close and personal.

Livi's first party celebrating the New Year.  We played board games with Papa Clark, Granny, Papa Don, Aunt Krista, Aunt Becky, and Addy.  Unfortunately, our family did not last til midnight.
