7 Month Gal!

Just over a week until Christmas and we are in disbelief that 2010 is almost over! Where did the time go?! Scarlett has changed so much in the past month. She is army crawling all over the house, pulling herself up to a stand, and constantly saying, "Dadadadadada!" We think she is a funny little lady- constantly laughing or smiling at anyone that looks her way. She crawls all over her puppy Hazel and turns her head to look when you ask, "Where's Hazel?" She is still quite bossy (like her mama?!), so we've learned to let her call the shots. Scarlett is also eating up a STORM! She's gained over a pound in a half since her 6 month check-up, weighing in at a hefty 18.5 pounds. Don't mess with her food!

We've also been under construction at our house for the past 8 weeks. Jeremy's best friend Morgan and his brother Henry did a fabulous job at our house. They moved out washer and dryer out to the garage, redesigned and landscaped our backyard, made a custom desk, did a window cut-out in the wall between our kitchen and family room, and re-did our kitchen counter tops with custom concrete tops and a new tile back splash! AMAZING.

Thank you for the continued prayers for Evan. He was transferred out of ICU today and over to Barlow, a USC rehab hospital, which will work on getting him off the ventilator and home! He's doing so much better- each day is an improvement and we can't wait to visit him next week!

My mom, a.k.a. Scarlett's Nonna, is flying up for the weekend to babysit S while we enjoy a few local Christmas parties. Then, she will help me with the long drive on Monday morning down to OC to celebrate Christmas Eve with the Huefners and Christmas Day with the Kings. Taylor is due in three weeks with baby #3 and we are hoping she goes into labor at Christmas dinner so we can be there for the birth :)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you!

Lots of love, the Kings
