Happy Thanksgiving!

Here are 3 of the things that I am most thankful for!! (My Weegie, Speedy Cheetah and Squiggler) I am also thankful for my wonderful husband, my mom, all of my family (cousins, in-laws, aunts, and uncles), my friends, my house and my wonderful, outstanding, super class! I am also so thankful for our Heavenly Father! Thank goodness God loves us no matter what because he is always so good to me and my family and for that I am ever so thankful!

Yesterday I had a Thanksgiving celebration in my classroom and it was so cute! We arranged our class so that all the tables were together and we could eat as a "family". We had tableclothes, placemats and namecards. We even made pilgrim hats and indian headbands to wear. The children went around the table to say what they were thankful for...we got family, mom, dad, toys and Mario Brothers! You got to love 5 year olds!!!

Today we celebrated with my favorite aunt and uncle and their family. Something wasn't quiet right and I'm not sure what it was, but I am trying to instill in my kids that Thanksgiving isn't just a day to eat, but a day to say Thank you for all the blessings we have been given. My Cheetah girl said the sweetest thing because she often gets it even when I think I'm not doing my job. Life is good and again for that I am so thankful! Thank you God!

Squiggler is 11 months!

11 months! I can't believe it!! Our little Squiggler is growing so fast and in just one short month she will be a year old! She has soooo much personality for such a little thing and everyone always comments on how friendly and sweet she is. As always I took the day off to spend it with her and of course we went to JCP to have her pixs taken. They did such a good job and I just love the outfit she is wearing. It will probably be her Thanksgiving outfit. Check out her boots! She loved them!

At 11 months:

• You still wear a size 2 diaper and size 3 shoe.
• You are about 29 inches long and weigh about 19 pounds. You are long and lean!
• You love to pull yourself and up and can stand by yourself for a little while!
• You crawl so fast and love to explore all over the house.
• You clap and love to be sung to. (Especially Happy Birthday!)
• You have your two bottom teeth. (The first one came in 10/6 and the second 10/30.)
• You can say mama, dada, baby and bye.
• You love your mama, sisters and daddy so much!
• You hang out with grandma all day and love to go outside with her.
• You like to watch the Price is Right and that is probably the only tv you watch.
• You love to flirt with boys and this cracks mommy up!! I wonder where you got that from?
  

• You love music and dancing.
• Your favorite books are Moo Baa La La La and All About Me.
• You like to headbutt people and just hold your little head to other people's and I think this is your way of showing affection.
• You love to eat. We still give you some baby food, but you love chicken, rice, beans, noodles and potatoes.
• You love to play with mommy and sister's hair. In fact you have to be holding my hair before you go to sleep.
• You don't like to sleep in your crib instead you sleep with mommy. Curled up right next to me.
  
  
  Squiggler you are such a wonderful little baby and are so full of life. My friend (Your tia Almita) says that you are that way because you know how loved you are!! I like to think that is so true! You are such a dream come true and being your mommy is such an honor and blessing! You love your sisters and they love you too! They are always willing to take care of you and you love to just hang out with them in their room or the living room. You are always calling to them. We thank God everyday for picking us to be your family! Thank you God we couldn't be more blessed!
