Thankful

This year I'm thankful for a healthy and intelligent Munchkin. I cannot even put into words how blessed we are. Even as her true toddler is starting to come out with a few tantrums and "no"s she is still precious. She is getting funnier and her ability to understand humor is coming along. 

This year, after many schedule changes, Nana and PopO came to visit us for Thanksgiving. They brought their doggy Sable with them, and Munchkin showed off her newfound clarity in speech. It's funny she picks up certain words and they just come out clear as a bell. "Sa-ble", for instance. 

She also showed off her new counting ability. She's started identifying the numbers, 2 is her favorite. They're just pictures to her still, but Mommy had told Daddy not worry about it because Munchkin wasn't ready for numbers yet. HA! Showed me. 

We also went to the tree lighting parade at the shopping center by our house on Thanksgiving Eve. Munchkin loved it. She liked the band and we saw Santa, but she didn't much care about him. 

The most important sighting was WEE WEE WEE! She was thrilled!

There were fireworks, and Munchkin liked to watch them, but they got a little loud for her. Nanas make good earplugs however. She would press her little ears up against Nana's cheek and strain those eyes to still watch. haha

 It was chilly out, so the pictures did not get to showcase Munchkin's new outfit from Ah Ha. It's pretty sweet.

 Munchkin got a full plate, but same as last year- she only ate the sweet potatoes. oh well

 She did like Nana's homemade whipped cream. As soon as she got a bite down she would start repeating "bite bite bite bite" until Nana could get another fork full to her.
