The Stewart Family: Happy New Year!

Goodbye 2009 and Hello 2010! 2009 brought some amazing changes in our lives with the addition of Capri on May 9th. We started her off at 2 weeks with the continuation of our boating frenzy all summer. I think I mentioned this in an earlier post but I'm almost positive we were out boating more than any other summer...go figure! I thought for sure once Capri arrived that our routine would change or at least slow down a bit but as it stands, we haven't skipped a beat! So 2009 was full of firsts for us! With that, we just celebrated our first Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year holidays with Capri. While she doesn't quite understand the holidays yet, she was amused and very entertained by all of the activity and people (especially her cousins, Corbin (7), Camden (3 1/2) and Claire (9 days younger than Capri). Needless to say, she lost a few hours of sleep over her attempt to not miss a thing! The week of Christmas Capri started crawling, waving and sitting up. It was a big week! Since then, she has been on the move! She has also become very familiar with her voice and the volume it has. It has been so much fun watching and interacting with her. One of Capri's newest little games is flipping over on the changing table and acting like she is going to crawl away as fast as she can while she giggles. Not to worry, we are always right there but it has been a hard thing to discourage because it is so darn cute. Anyway, last year was full of fun and exciting new changes as we have found each stage with Capri our new favorite. We are looking forward to 2010 and celebrating Capri's first birthday in May and all of the other exciting firsts to come. Wishing you all a healthy and prosperous New Year ahead! Here are pictures from the past month.
