So once again I have to cram a bunch of stuff in one big post. I don't feel like blogging too much. Chris is putting Lillie to bed and Draven is in the shower. I don't won't to miss out on my "me time" by blogging. I guess that is really the only time I get to blog. Before I forget I want to do a few Lillie updates. She is finally eating better. She will eat just about anything, but still not sleeping worth a flip. I think it is easier to just bring her in bed with us then get up 5 times a night. Yes, we are really getting up 4-5 times a night with her. We stopped getting her out of her crib and just pat her on the back and till her to go back to sleep. The crying last for about an hour (with us checking on her every 5-10 minutes) then she sleeps for another hour or less and we are at it again. I took a nap with her today in my bed. That went well. I think that when she wakes up tonight I will bring her in our bed. I know it is a bad habit, but nothing is worse than feeling tired all the time. It is catching up to us both. On a happier note... Lillie is officially saying "da da." I have to take some credit. I knew that was easier than ma ma so I have been coaching her. She has it down but acts shy when I ask her to do it in front of people. Ok... on to the holidays and photos. It has been so long I don't remember details. Hopefully the pictures will help.
This was Lillie's first Thanksgiving. Chris and I agreed that it would be easier for us to do dinners with our families separately than to rush around and try to do both. I got the kids. Here's a picture of Brooke and Draven showing Kate and Lillie how to do our family tradition. The two youngest have to make what we call "the baby job pies." It is pudding in a graham cracker pie crust with cool whip. Yum! This is Kate's second year and Lillie's first.
Me kissing my baby.
Lillie loved her baby job pie. Notice the snot mixed in with the pudding. Nice.
Since we didn't get to spend Thanksgiving together as a complete family we spend Friday together. We went shopping, then to Bass Pro for a Santa visit. Lillie was not a fan, but she did ask for her barn and animals.
The huge bear was much less frightening than Santa.
After Bass Pro we went down the canal to view the Christmas lights and see the Christmas tree. It was a perfect beginning to the Christmas season.
Yesterday we spent the day putting up our Christmas decorations. Turned out really well. I will post with pictures soon.
