We had a great time in Virginia Beach with Matt's family for Thanksgiving. Lily and Aaron are so cute together. He was even feeding Lily her snacks! Thursday was just bum around the house and eat lots of delicious food day.
Friday we went to get Lily's 1 year and christmas professional pics at the Picture People. Plus we got a cute one of Lily and Aaron together too. Lily was being such a little model that day! All the pictures turned out SO good. If you have the money (in our case matt's mom thankfully paid), then Picture People or someplace like that is SO much better than the Sears ones we've had done. Anyways, I tried to scan in them in last night to post them but for some reason our scanner isn't working. So once Matt's mom scans them in for me at her house I will put them up. Then that evening Lily got to go for a ride in Nana's wagon. She loved it! Her new warm hat is SO cute too!
Saturday we went to Macarthur Mall in hopes that Lily and Aaron could see Santa. Plus they had this really cool Polar Express snow globe display. The line was REALLY long though and then Santa went on break so we didn't get to. We're gonna take Lily to see him hopefully this weekend at our mall. I think she'll do okay with him this year because every time she sees him she points and smiles. She'll probably like touching his coat. Oh and Lily got to ride forward facing for the first time on the way to the mall! She legally can ride forward facing now since she's over a year and 20 pounds but I hadn't switched her yet in our car because it's supposedly safer to keep them rear facing as long as possible. Matt's mom had Aaron's seat in her car though and so we just took hers. She loved it!
Sunday we went to church and then headed back home. Today was decorate the christmas tree day! Yeah!!! I usually do it on the weekend after thanksgiving but we were in Virginia Beach. Matt started with sinus stuff and wasn't feeling well so he stayed home today. He was able to get my christmas decorations out though for me so I could put them up. Lily LOVES the christmas tree. She has been really good with it so far. I think she knows for some reason she's not supposed to touch it.
Some fun new things that Lily does... She learned how to make kisses with her mouth. She won't actually kiss on the lips but she puckers up. It's SO cute! She's been clapping away. And this past weekend she figured out how to point with just her pointer finger. So she's been pointing at everything! Sunday she figured out that she has this thing called a tongue. She's been playing with it and sticking it out all the time.
My sister got Lily one of those push walkers for her birthday and Lily can now use it! She loves walking around with that thing. It's so cute seeing her push it everywhere!
Lily also gets very upset very easily these days if she can't get something to do what she wants it to do. She's at that stage where she knows a lot about what toys are supposed to do but sometimes doesn't have quite the ability to make it do that certain thing. If that happens, she starts whining/crying until we help her out. She's going to be a very passionate little girl - just like her cousin Ava!
Well, that's the news from our world. Off to do some grocery shopping! Here's a cute pic I finally uploaded of Lily with her cousin Ava and Aunt Dawn:
