We survived

Well both of us survived Halloween and Thanksgiving.  Mom missed Halloween because of work but O got a lot of candy and still asks everyday if she can have a piece of "my Halloween candy, it's in my Elmo Bucket"  O is getting very long hair and wants to ask Santa for a choo choo a Thomas Choo Choo.  She is very excited for Christmas this year and is finally understanding things which makes it more fun for everyone.  She tells strangers that it is Christmas time.  Thanksgiving she didn't really get except for the fact that we went to Auntie Angie's and had turkey but in reality what else is there to understand.  L loved Thanksgiving she has given up on baby food for the most part and on Turkey day ate two good sized pieces of Turkey, a scoop of mashed potatoes, an entire bun, and a spoonful of gluten free stuffing.  She would have eaten more if I would have given it to her she absolutely loved it.  She is more difficult to decide for xmas especially with her birthday coming so close in January.  Tim and I believe that L is going to soon get all of her baby teeth on the bottom all at once.  She is so funny now making faces and sticking her tongue out.  Also she makes mommy feel loved by welcoming her home everyday with a cry for not picking her up fast enough then basically ripping my face off with her hands grabbing as hard as she can to give me a big smootch.  Oh to be a mom sometimes we have to take a beating to get a little love:)  Excited for XMAS with the girls they can't wait for Santa to come and O loves the snow very much.  The first snow fall we had to go outside and make a snowman as soon as possible.  Even when it snowed today she said look it's winter outside.  She is becoming more intelligent with every passing day.  She currently loves reading books about trucks which she memorizes when I read them so she can help the next time.  She also loves watching Cars and Nokio (Pinocchio) for those of you who don't speak O.  Winter is fun but already looking forward to the summer together when I am sure both of them will be running around.
