Thanksgiving

We made the annual trip to El Paso this year and spent 5 days there.  We had a great time!  The food was so yummy, the kids were great, and traveling with 2 was a breeze!  We have so much to be thankful for, I could never count all our blessings.  Especially Jillian and Haven - they are the biggest blessings to Jeff and I.

Nana loved having both J&H at her house all week.  Jill had so much fun playing with Nana!

 Gigi and Jill taking a break from playing with her castle for a quick photo.

 Jill wanted to play in the rain, so Jeff took her out.  Jill has her dad wrapped around her finger.

I didn't take as many pictures as I usually do - it was more hectic this year with 2 kiddos and holding Haven quite a bit.  I will get better!

Halloween

I know this is super late, I started this post weeks ago and am just getting around to finish it.

Jillian had a great Halloween! We kicked off Halloween with her school party on Thursday, Trunk or Treat at church on Sunday, and trick or treating Monday night.  Nana and Papa were also in town that weekend, so she had so much fun seeing them!

Jillian was Abby Cadaby from Sesame Street.  I used a few key pieces from last years costume and added a couple things to make her a fairy!!

School party... Jill didnt nap at school that day because after nap time was the party.  Jill has learned that when something is a PARTY, it will be so fun!

One of her teachers - Ms Anna.  I think she is Jillian's favorite.

Face painting.  Always a huge hit with Jillian.

Jill crashed on the way home.  No nap + party = Tired Girl.

(wow, her car seat straps are falling off her!  oops!)

Helping dad carve pumpkins in the adorable princess dress Nana and Papa gave her.  

We also took turns taking photos with Jillian in her pumpkin outfit - another ADORABLE outfit from Nana.

Halloween night:  Our neighbors and some of Jill's favorite people - Haley and Braden.

We spray painted her pony tails hot pink to look more like Abby Cadaby, but I wasn't crazy with the color it turned out.

Jill went to a couple houses for trick-or-treating and then she was done.

She had so much fun handing out candy instead!  She wanted her couch in front of the door and loved seeing all the kids.

Cereal

I decided to go ahead and start giving Haven cereal.  Sigh.  He's not as much of a baby anymore.  After talking with the Dr at his 4 month visit about him still not sleeping through the night, he thought it might be a good idea to start solids. He's a growing boy and needs lots of calories.  He's probably right.

Haven was 17.0 pds at his 4 month appt, which is the 75%.   He's 26.75" tall which puts him in the 95% on height.
