Thanksgiving

We had such a great Thanksgiving! We didn't get many pictures over the holiday, but here are the few that we did get.
We spent Thursday here in town with Amber's family. We had a huge feast, visited with family, and let the girls (Lyla and Cousin Bliss) go crazy!



Lyla had so much fun coloring a picture of a Turkey! Looks like we need to ask Santa to bring her a few coloring books!



On Friday we went down to the B&B to spend some time with my family. We enjoyed lots of yummy Thanksgiving leftovers, relaxed on the porch, and even toasted marshmallows and made smores!
Lyla loved drawing on the chalkboard wall in the kitchen:



As always, Lyla and Renzo had a blast together!



Here they are being super silly before bedtime.

I don't think Lyla wants the fun to end! We are home now and Lyla took forever to get to sleep tonight...at one point we heard her over the monitor saying "fire on, fire on!" (She really loved the fireplace we had in our room)

Thank you to everyone for such a wonderful holiday! Spending time with our families, eating delicious food, enjoying some relaxing time off...we couldn't be more thankful for all we are blessed with!

Singing Baby

Lyla has started singing songs! "Shongs" as she calls them! Her favorites are "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", "ABC's", "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" and she also loves to sing the doo dah's in "Camptown Ladies". Most of the time, only her mommies can understand her, but some of it is pretty clear! I am working hard on getting video to share...keep checking in!

18 Months Old

Look who's 18 months old!





















Today Lyla went in for her 18 month check up! She is now 32 inches, 23 lbs and 4 oz, and her noggin is a whopping 49cm. It was a great check up and she is as fit as a fiddle. We also got a few tips on eating and discipline. Welcome to toddler land!

Lyla had a great 2nd Halloween! She was Dorothy Gale and even toted around a little Toto! She had a blast trick-or-treating with her two cousins and friend Lila. We were impressed how quickly she warmed up to the whole idea of walking up to strangers doors, and by the end was even picking the candy herself.
