November 2012

November 2012 was a busy and fun month!

A friend of ours loaned us her jumper for Mallory and she loves it!  I love that her head control is so good now and she loves being able to play with the toys and see what her big brother and sister are doing:)

Both kids came home with turkeys to decorate.  We decided Madeline was old enough to do it all on her own.  She went a little crazy with the glitter and the paper was very heavy when she was done:)  I'm not sure I will ever get all of the glitter dust off of our floors!

Will was told to create a disguise and thought a chef would be fun since he loves to pretend to cook.  Nathan, Will, and I all worked together and created this:)  It was a lot of fun!

Mallory started laughing!   Madeline and Will make it their mission to find ways to make her laugh all of the time:)

Nana came from Spokane and visited us for 6 days.  It was so fun to spend time with her and we stayed busy.  She loved picking out Mallory's clothes everyday:)

When we took my mom to Little Rock to fly home, we made a visit to see Lucy.  These cousins are growing so fast!

After watching my brother and Lindsey do so well with cloth diapers, we decided to give it a try.

What is this thing?

I like it!  It's so soft!

So far, we really like them.  We spent about $100 but that should cover us to potty training, way less than the cost of disposable diapers for that long!

The kids had American Education Week and were asked to dress up for career day.  Madeline was a Vet and Will was a Contractor.

Mallory started eating baby food!  She does so well with it and likes everything so far!

Will got ready for Thanksgiving by making a few crafts in Kindergarten.  He was so proud of everything he made!

The weather was unseasonably warm so we spent some time playing outside while the kids were on break from school.  We tried out the umbrella stroller and Mallory loved it:)

We went to see Nathan's family in Conway for Thanksgiving and had a good time seeing everyone.  She may not have eaten turkey, but this little one needed a nap.  Nathan grew a moustache this month in honor of  "Movember" to raise awareness of prostate cancer.

My sweet kids posing for a Thanksgiving picture.  I really need to be better about using my good camera because the phone pictures are not that good!

We stopped by to see Lucy again on the way home.  They did some tummy time together this time:)

We were finally able to get a picture of all 5 of my parents' grandkids!

Mallory turned 5 months old!  We no longer need the Boppy pillow to prop her!  Such a big girl:)

Nana ordered Madeline a bunch of books from the school book order when she was visiting.  Madeline finally got them in and was so proud of her stash:)  I love that books are always what she wants!
