Here are some of the kids eating (they

didn't want there picture taken)

This Thanksgiving was very relaxing and fun! We had some family from out of town visit. We had my aunt Deanne and her husband Dave here from California and also my sister Sara my brother in law Stephen and my nephew Kaden from Wyoming who surprised everyone by coming down here! The food was fantastic...we played a fun candy bar game which is kind of like musical chairs but with candy bars. All you do is wrap the candy bars up really really tight and good with duck tape and get some music going, then you sit around in a circle and pass the candy around until the music stops then once it stops you try to unwrap as much as you can of the candy bar then the music will start and you atart passing the candy arounf again and you keep going until you can get it all unwrapped and the one you get completely unwrapped is yours to eat! Its rather a fun game!! So that was basically it for our thanksgiving! We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving too!!

Pictures from the past few weeks! (to read about the last few weeks look after the photos :) )

The last few weeks!

I thought I would post some happenings from the past few weeks!
Lets see.... Well Lily sits up on her own with the occasional tipping over, but she looks so cute sitting up on her own! She is still so little too me so seeing that little thing sittin there is just amazing, I think she also enjoys it! Also my sister Sara came and visited for about a week and a half and I will sad to see her and my nephew kaden go, I enjoyed hanging out with her very much!! So I miss you Sara!!
Actually I think that is about it really........ Here are some photos from the past few weeks... There is one of Lily and her daddy watching tv together, so cute.. there is also Lily and her cousin Kaden chillin out sharing toys and playing for the first time! I also have some cute pictures of Lily just playing with her toes she loves not having her socks on she is very fascinated with those cute little things!! Oh and another little thing Lily does is whenever I am doing my make-up she is always trying to get the mirror I am using from me, so I will let her have it for a bit and she cant get enough of looking at herself with it, she will go really close then back up then go real close again and so on....It is very entertaining for me :) I really cannot get enough of this girl! She is the most precious and amazing baby!

First Timers!!

In just a couple of days Lily has had a couple of first timers! She has started to hold her bottle all by herself (with a little help at the beginning) and just this morning we introduced a sippy cup to her with water! While we were at her appt yesterday the dr. said we should start the sippy cup because it apparently helps get the child off of a bottle sooner. And this morning was a good first try, she sipped on it a little and then just stared at the cup like "what is this?" But I think she will be great with it as time goes on....naturally :)

~ Six Month Check Up ~

Today was Lily's six month appt and this appt went just about as good as the last one! She got some shots which she did exceptionally well getting! Lily weighed in at 12 lbs 13 oz, we are almost to 13 lbs finally a few of us thought she was atleast 15 lbs by now but not yet.Maybe in at her next appt? :) Anyway she is in the 5th percentile for her weight. Her height is 26 inches which is the 55th percecentile and her head is 42 1/2 cm which is 50th percentile! So she is definitly growing just perfectly which is fabulous to hear! I took a couple pictures of her before we left for the appt she looks so dang cute. I honestly cannot get enough of her and how beautiful she is getting everyday. Oh and her personality has popped out all of a sudden in the last few days...She is definitly becoming more and more of a Hoot!!

Some pictures in the Canyon!

On saturday Nate and I decided to take a little drive up to Big Cottonwood canyon and take some Fall pictures of Lily! We ended up taking our own little family photo as well! It was such a nice day to these, and lily was such a good sport through it too, I think she had fun :)

Bath Time!!

I just had to post these pictures I took of Lily in the bath tub she was havin fun in there just splashin around! So I thought I had better get some bathing pictures of her since I haven't really taken any since probably after her birth!!!
