Thanksgiving

We decided to stay in St. George this year for Thanksgiving. A cold front came through and dropped the temperatures pretty good with lows in the low 20's. We had turkey and the works which was delicious. It was nice to have time off and not have much to worry about. Happenings since the last post - Audrey is now crawling. Granted it is not fast, she can get to where she wants to go which is good since it means she can keep herself occupied a little more.



In an effort to get outside, I decided to take Emily on another hike up the hill behind our house. I had a few videos until I realized they appear sideways since I was holding the camera wrong. So, I will keep you from getting dizzy and you'll just have to trust that she is a very good climber. No complaining :). Whenever I'd pick her up she would say "walk" which interpreted means "I want to walk instead of being carried." Here are a few pictures of our walk. The hike is nice because the views are excellent.


Lastly, we have a Christmas tree. Fake, but it'll do the job this year since Emily is still too young to really understand and anticipate Christmas. I thought I'd never do it since we never had fake trees growing up. Oh well. Maybe next year we'll get a real one.

Singing

Emily is beginning to sing for us these days. We borrowed some other Disney videos - Little Mermaid and Lady and the Tramp to add to the mix as Snow White was getting too much over and over again. Here is a video of her performance. The beginning portion comes from the Little Mermaid and the second part is Snow White. In case you haven't watched it recently, she is singing "I'm wishing ... to find me."

On her knees

Audrey has been on her knees for a while. She likes to rock back and forth. I have left her for just a few minutes on the carpet, and come back to find her on the tile floor! She will soon be crawling... She almost always sucks on her thumb when resting or just lying around.

Laughing

This is the best I have recorded.... Enjoy.
