Merry Christmas!!

Mmmm....Socks!

I'm not sure why, but every time I leave Kate's socks out of the floor, she loves to put them in her mouth! She'll put them in her mouth and crawl all over the floor. It's so funny, I just had to share these pictures!

Santa!

Yesterday we took Kate to see Santa! The pictures were SO overpriced, but it was worth it. It's Kate's first Christmas, and she needed a picture with Santa! I really wanted to just sit her with Santa and take a picture with my camera, but the Elves told me that was against the rules. So I begrudingly obeyed them. Then when were in line to purchase the expensive pictures, I was watching the family behind us take their pics with Santa. The mom pulled out her camera and shot the picture with her own camera! Then she and her family just walked off, and didn't buy the official pictures. I was so mad! That's what we get for obeying the rules.

Kate did really well sitting with Santa. She wasn't scared of him at all! She loved pulling on his beard. Which, unfortunately for Santa, was real.

In line to see Santa...



We also finished up our Christmas shopping yesterday. Kate really likes sitting in the shopping carts.

Art Festival

Last weekend we went to the Tempe Festival of the Arts. I love love LOVE the art festival! It comes every spring and winter, but I haven't been able to go for a couple years, so I was really excited to go. There are probably about 200 different booths and vendors, and everything is so unique and interesting. One day I'll actually have money to spend there!

We stopped at In N' Out Burger before. Kate really liked wearing the hat!




Afterwards we let Kate drive home. Just kidding, but isn't she so cute?

Temple Lights

The Friday after Thanksgiving, all of us Watsons (and Mills) went to see the lights at the Temple.

They were beautiful, just like they are every year!



I love how all the guys are in shorts. Only in Phoenix can you enjoy Christmas lights while still in summer clothing!

What you've missed...

Today I finally caved and bought another camera cord. My original one is just nowhere to be found!

So for my first post back, I'm going to catch ya'll up on how much Kate has grown up in the past few weeks. Ever since she started crawling, it seems like she's learning a new skill everyday!

The night before we moved we heard her laughing in her crib, the laughing soon turned to yelling, so we went in to check on her and found this:



She was so proud of herself for standing up in her crib!

She loved moving because she got to play with all the boxes.


She loves to crawl in between the couch and the chair. It's like her own private tunnel into the kitchen.

Her favorite place to be is up playing with the entertainment center. She knows how to open all the drawers and push the buttons on the TV and DVR.


She can pull herself up on the couch now, and can slowly scoot along it.

Merry Christmas! We found this little Santa hat in our Christmas decorations. I can't remember what it used to be for, but apparently it is too little for Kate.


She has now figured out how to climb the stairs as well! Nothing is out of her reach anymore...



We sure do love this little girl...
I can't believe that 7 months have already flown by.

Blogging Woes

I STILL cannot find my camera cord.

I know I packed it. I REMEMBER packing it, but I have no idea into which box, bag, or bin it went. I have looked everywhere, I really have.

I will keep searching, but if I cannot find it by tomorrow, I will have to purchase another.

Then it'll show up right?
