Kelsey and Amelia

Kelsey enjoyed playing with Amelia tonight. She was girl talking like crazy. First friends are the best friends.

Kelsey loves to shop

Santa is here

Kelsey loved Christmas morning and seeing all the gifts that Santa brought especially her kitchen and little people castle :)

Merry Christmas

Christmas Eve

Celebrating

Mommy and Daddy went out with Joe, Dana, Ricky and Nicollette to Ruth Chris Steakhouse while Grandma and Grandpa watched all the kids. It was a great night for everyone!

Kelsey first steps 12.18

Kelsey had so much energy after doing so many laps around Aunt Kim's house and playing with Roxy that she walked on her own over to Daddy and Mommy showing off her new skills and laughing! Our big girl is now a walking girl.

Annual cookie day

Aunt Kim hosted cookie day this year. Grandma taught Kelsey how to climb the stairs and we got a successful picture in front of the tree. We especially liked Aunt Janet's Lucy apron attire!

Turtle Back Zoo Holiday Spectacular

The turtle back zoo light speculator was awesome, so many great lights and we got to see a bunch of animals all in the snow playing with Thomas and Ryan. It was a great time and Kelsey couldnt stop laughing at her cousins. We could have done without the snow getting there but was totally worth the trip.

Kelsey does nyc

Kelsey loved her first trip to NYC and it was during the best time of the year. We saw the big tree in Rockefeller Center, angels, ice skaters, and snow white in Sax 5th Ave windows. Then visited time square and saw the ball getting ready to drop though Kelsey highlight was treats from the m&m store. We went to Bryant Park for the Xmas festival and saw another big tree and ice skaters. Our day in the city ended with snowflakes falling. It was such a magical family day!

Kelsey MSS holiday sing along

Kelsey loved singing jingle bells at school. She took shaking temhe bells very seriously lol.

Taco Tuesday

Let's just say Kelsey fits right in with Mommy and Daddy's favorite meal, tacos. She's also mastering eating with a spoon! #lovesgaucamole

ADP Santa

Unfortunately Kelsey had stranger danger with Santa today but we still had a good time at the kids holiday party at ADP. There is always next year for a smile picture.

Ryan's concert

We watched Ryan perform his last holiday concert at Joyful Noise. Kelsey loved all the singing and clapping. It was such a fun night!

Decorating the tree

Kelsey loves all the ornaments, especially the ones with her name on it, and all the buzz lightyears! The lights shining on our Christmas tree are so pretty, we love tree decorating!

Kelsey crib has been lowered

Someone is excited for her big girl crib. Since she s officially scooting around Daddy lowered her crib today.

Kelsey first Christmas Tree extravaganza

Kelsey loved picking out a live tree at the Palmer Tree Farm in Pa. We are so lucky to be part of the extended Antico family! We loved watching Daddy cut down the tree and yell timber. And, appreciate Len hand delivering the tree to our house! What a fun day!

Getting in the cookie spirit

Kelsey is so excited for cookie day coming up with the girls in December! So she had to find her special cookie day apron and model it around the house. She has her milk ready to go for all the awesome cookies we will bake for the holidays!

Waddle it be ?

Waddle it Be! Joe and Kim had such a cute gender reveal, even if the ducks weren't cooperating at first and Kelsey's bath ducks had to make an appearance. And the special baby duck turned the water pink, so baby Tortora is a girl. We couldn't be happier for Kim and Joe and Kelsey is excited for a girl cousin!

Leopard print

Kelsey was the best dressed outside at daycare today. She loves the coat Cioci got her!

Hosting our first Thanksgiving

We are so thankful that our entire family was able to join us for Thansgiving at our house. Daddy even put up our Christmas lights to end the night on a festive note. The turkey was a success and all the food went off without a hitch. And following this post will be the gender reveal of baby Tortora that we were all able to take part in! Kelsey especially loved the turkey, lasagna and mashed potatoes!

Pony tail

So close to being Pebbles. A few more weeks and Kelsey's hair will be long enough for a real top pony!

Sunday dinner

Grandparents La made gravy today and we were lucky enough to go over to enjoy a delicious dinner. Kelsey loved playing kitchen with Thomas, watching Ryan with the power ranger spinner and getting a free ride on the Smurf train with her cousins pushing her. She also enjoyed 2 meatballs, pasta and garlic bread :)

Visiting Mema

Kelsey loved tapping her feet alongside Mema and showing off with lots of waving and walking around the house. She loved playing the real piano with Aunt Debbie and with all the snoopy music toys. She also enjoyed watching the doggy run up and down the furniture lol.

Hibachi Princess

Kelsey loved watching the hibachi show with Grandparents Mc by our chef who put on a great show. Kelsey especially loved all the lights and singing happy birthday so many times. She had shrimp for the first time and devoured it!

Fall baby

Kelsey is rocking her Ugs, hanging outside with Mommy and Daddy. What a cute little fall bear.

Minnie mouse

Kelsey wearing her favorite character.

MSS Thanksgiving Feast

Kelsey enjoyed her first Thanksgiving Feast. We loved all the songs the kids sang and sharing in the tradition. She was giving her Ms America wave showing off for all her favorite teachers.

Just sitting and eating

Ms. Miriam was proud to announce that Kelsey can now sit in her chair and feed herself sitting up straight like a big girl. And, she even feed herself at home. She s getting so big!

Kelsey in the leaves

Kelsey lets say was not a fan of the big leaf pile Daddy made for her. We tried but she was much happier sitting in the grass and waving to everyone who walked by lol.

First time using a straw

Another milestone Kelsey knows how to drink out of a straw. She does it so good all by herself!
