growing liked a weed

Her First Thanksgiving was great. It went by VERY quick b/c we had 3 places to go, but it was very nice. At the end of the day Bryan said to me, "today went by sooo quick" and I said i know when we have 3 places to be and one being 45 mins away each way our day almost goes right by us. It is hard to enjoy the day w/ so many places to go. Altough Christmas is going to be nice b/c Christmas Eve is with my family and christmas day we will have brunch @ our house in the morning, stay home and enjoy our daughter for her 1st Christmas, stop in @ my parents and say hello and then off to Bryan's moms. It wont be soo hectic this year. Bryan and I made a pact now that she is hear, that we are going to spend more time @ our own home w/ our daughter on Christmas. @ the end of the day on Thanksgiving we were all exhausted. Adelyn was very cranky from being passed around and she was so tired. she slept all night. The busy day wore her out. It was very nice though. We really enjoy the holidays!

I never realiazed how fast life is flying by until we had Adelyn. She is doing something different everyday. It is so amazing to watch her grow and form her own personality. She is so happy all the time. It seems as if she smiles all day long. She rairly gets upset. (unless it's time to eat) She has almost mastered sitting up by herself. she still needs a little help, but it won't be long until she is doing it all by herself like a big girl. She is still very interested in her fingers and toes. She always tries to suck on both. She also LOVES to pull the crap outta mommies hair. I got it cut really short thinking she couldnt pull it so easily anymore, but she still finds a way. She also cannot wear 6 months clothes anymore. I have 6-9 month sleepers for her and her little feet are @ the end. I have to go get some bigger ones. She is doing awesome with eating stage 1 baby food. Her favorite is sweet potatoes by far. she likes bananas, applesauce, prunes, carrotts, peas (she wasnt quite sure of those @ first) green beans (which mommy hates... the smell and all). So far she has pretty much liked everything she has gotten. We also still LOVE to have tubby time. Her newest thing is (we have a little play mat on the floor that she lays on and toys are above her head) pulling and swinging the toys around like a mad women. Sometimes she does it so hard I am afraid she's going to hit herself in the face. She slams those toys pretty hard. She also tries to grab mommy or daddy's can of soda that is in our hands towards her mouth. She ends up getting mad b/c we wont let her have it and starts to cry until we take it out of her sight. She is also chewing all the time now. she just chews all day long like she has something in her mouth. It is super cute. With those big cheeks of hers it almost looks like she stores food in her cheeks. HAHA.

Well we have our house all decorated for Christmas. She loves the x-mas tree and looking @ the lights. We also sing christmas carols to her and she things it's so funny. probably b/c mommy isnt good @ singing. Today I officially started our Christas shopping. I think we are going to get Adelyn one big toy that she can walk around when she gets older and a couple little ones and that's probably all. The rest of the money we are going to put into her saving account. Our girl is also SUPER ticklish. She just cracks up when we tickle her shoulders, stomach, feet, or legs. She full blown belly laughs now. It is too cute. She has such a personality and we love it. :)

well I had better get outta here. daddy is almost home and we are going to dinner w/ his parents. Until next time....
