Thanksgiving and Beginning of Decemeber

Lights and Decorations. 

After Thanksgiving we visited the little elves who hand picked Christmas trees from the North Pole - we picked out and brought home a Blue Spruce.

We spent the evening trimming it with treasures that remind us of all the things, people and memories we love and hold dear to our hearts. Sierra and daddy topped the trimmed treasure tree with an Angel who will look over and protest, guard and guide all the ornaments below and things, people and memories we love. Of course Wolverine is on the next tear down who is there to protect the Guardian Angel.

Sierra and mommy picking out the best ornament to put in the best location - the soft and durable ones are just the right height for Sierra to admire and enjoy.

Winter is a Wonderland indeed

We like to play outside, yes even when it's cold! When I took this picture I showed Sierra (she loves touch screen devices, i.e. phones . She just sits and laughs when we watch videos or see pictures that remind her of something she likes) anywho when I showed her this image she smiled, looked at me and pointed to the hat on her head. She is learning her body parts quickly - eyes, ears, feet, head, toes, knees - BELLY BUTTON - she LOVES her belly button (and yours too)

She enjoys getting ready to go outside. I will often times be in the kitchen and peek around the corner to see what she is playing with and she'll be wrapping her scarf around her shoulders and pulling her hat on her head or wiggling her foot to put her shoes on.

The first snow fall this year we peeked out the window together and she would having nothing except getting dressed for the weather and going outside. Similar to the Great Lake experience she walked outside and said WWOOOOOOW.

No More Nu-Nu; "All Done! Nunu is for Baby Calix"

No More Nu-Nu! This is hopefully the last we will see of Sierra and her Nu-Nu. Now we'll be able to see that beautiful smile for real and not through that pacifier.

We are finishing with day three of a 100% Nuk-free life, going cold turkey, and it is proving to be hard on mommy and Sierra.

Today is day 1 at daycare without it, we'll report back on it's hopeful grand success.
