Three Months!

You're so much better at holding up your head. You're also much to large to be carried around in a sling, now. You love looking around at everything. 99% of the time, you cry because you've got a wet diaper or you're hungry. You're an intense eater. You try to eat every 90 - 120 minutes. You also comfort nurse to go to sleep. You'll cry to let me know you want to nurse, then you'll suckle for less than a minute before conking out. It's adorable. We love you!

Decorating for Christmas!

Spent the morning decorating our home to get ready for Christmas! Azucena and Adelaide did a great job helping with the tree!

Thanksgiving

The good pictures were on Clark's phone, of course, but here are two shots I got:

(Someone is very scared for the turkeys today!)

Spent the morning watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Well, the girls did. I was in the kitchen cooking turkey, cranberry and apple cider glazed Brussel sprouts, maple glazed sweet potatoes, twice baked potatoes, Rhodes rolls, and making a chocolate peanut butter cup pie for dessert. It was all worth it and very delicious! We're grateful for each other, our home, Clark's job, loving family, and our brand new baby!

Silly Outtakes

I know I often share nice pictures here and on Facebook (not professional, and not perfect, but definitely nicer than normal). Just wanted you to see for yourself that for every decent shot I have, there are about two dozen ridiculous ones!

These pictures were taken because it was nice outside and the girls were fairly well-coordinated and their hair wasn't completely woebegone. (And, yes, Azucena is in shorts, because this fall has been unseasonably warm!)

(Second note, shortly after finishing taking these pictures, the boy had a poop-splosion on his outfit, and one of the girls broke my blue pendant necklace. Because, you know, kids. Eep.)

 I start with this shot, because the girls are old enough that I can *mostly* get them to look nice for a picture together. Like, 55% of the time. But, add another child, and you get these!

 

Azucena's Halloween Parade

Since Azucena attends school every other day, her class missed participating in the school-wide costume parade. The school makes up for it by having a Kindergarten-only parade the next day. It was fun to watch her and all her classmates walk down the hallways proudly showing off their costumes!
