Happy Thanksgiving 2008

I hope everyone had a really wonderful Thanksgiving! This year we spent Thanksgiving at my Cousin Connie's house in the Fort Worth area. My mom has so many wonderful cousins, and we usually rotate between houses each year. On my mom's side, we have a big extended family, and there are usually 30+ people. It is always so nice to be around family! Also, Nick's parents came into town from Saint Louis.
Here are a few pictures from our Thanksgiving this year... as well as Nick's parents visit:

Happy 5 Month Birthday Sweet Baby Bree!!!!

Bree, you are the sunshine of Mommy’s life!! Mommy & Daddy love you soo much sweet angel! I can’t believe you are 5 months old today! Every day I look into your precious eyes, I thank God for His most wonderful work ever…. YOU!!

You have turned into such a little actress lately. I’m constantly laughing at all the new silly & wonderful things you are doing all of the time!!

New things you have done this month:

-You can roll from your front to your back & are sooo close to rolling from your tummy to your back.
- You started rice cereal the past Saturday November 15th (You LOVE it)!

- You get the giggles at night now off & on!

- You think Mommy’s serious voice (when I am getting on to the dogs) is hilarious!..... This should be interesting in several months when you are the one getting into things. I can hear it now “haha…. You are soo funny Mommy when you tell me NO”!

- You drink water out of a sippy cup, & you think that is the best!
- You reach for Mommy’s water bottle, food, hair, earrings, and for your toys... & the doggies!

- You smile every time the flash comes on when I’m taking your picture. (Which let’s face it….. is all of the time.)

- You love to watch your Care Bears & Baby Einstein movies!

- You “talk” almost all of the waking hours of the day away!

- You are officially sleeping in your own room! You actually have been in there for a whole month now (But Mommy might still be in there with you most nights…. To escape Daddy’s snoring! Shhhh…. Don’t tell Daddy). :)

-You are such a tough little girl. You loved to play BOO… & get scared game. You also think it is so funny when Daddy plays wall ball in your room over your crib.

- You like to sit in your little chair & play with toys!

- You seem to think it is pretty cool to sit up in your high chair when Mommy is in the kitchen.

Bree, My Love……. “You are my sunshine… my only sunshine; you make me happy when skies are gray…. You’ll never know dear how much I love you…..!

Where have I been?? I’ve become the biggest slacker with this blog! I’m going to really make an effort to get better with that. Life has been crazy! Bree is doing all these new things, and I have so many little updates about her. She is going to be 5 months old this week!! What?! I will post all her favorites & happenings on the 19th in honor of her 5 month birthday. I know there are other updates I need to add too, but I’ll try to summarize later without writing a 5 page blog entry.
I hope all is well with all my bloggy readers! :)
Updates coming soon! :)
