Lily is at such a fun age! Here are some things about Lily at 13 months

• Lily can say quite a few words. A few new ones this month include: "dog", "Daisy", and "eyes"
• Lily can blow kisses
• Lily can point to your eyes, mouth, and nose
• Lily has been sleeping 11-12 hours straight a night now that she is weaned! 
• Lily loves our dog Daisy. She gets excited and yells, "Hi Daisy!"
• Lily loves her binkies
• Lily loves sliding and swining
• Lily is such a good eater! She eats whatever we are eating and is getting good at chewing up her food with all of those teeth!

Lily put on my heels by herself and even took a few steps in them before she fell! I was impressed!

She's such a goofball!

The Last Week of November

We had a great last week of November and a good Thanksgiving. For Thanksgiving we had our friends Meagan, Sean, and their baby Levi over for dinner. In the morning Jayden played in a turkey football bowl with 3 wards. Alesha was there with Charlotte too so we walked around and let the kids play on the playground. We then went to see Penguins of Madagascar in the theaters. Gavin loved it and both of the kids were great the whole time. Dinner was so yummy and we were happy to have a low key night and just relax afterwards. 

Lily fell asleep in the car and was so tired that she stayed asleep when I put her in the cart. This was for Thanksgiving shopping.

Our turkey was SO good! We brined it for the first time this year and we will be brining it every year from now on!

The day after Thanksgiving we went and got our Christmas tree!

On Saturday we took Daisy to the dog park with Jamie, Leslie, and Elle. The kids played on the playground after
