Sleepy Time and Jammie Time!

1st Lanigan Thanksgiving!

This year for Thanksgiving, Tom and I decided to spend it just the three of us at home. We'd had a rough couple of weeks before Thanksgiving and between Tom and I we'd spent a lot of weekends at work, so we were really looking forward to time at home with Julia. I made mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, and a pumpkin pie, and Tom made a ham! We let Julia try some potatoes and cranberry sauce, and surprisingly enough, she really liked the cranberry sauce! I think she really enjoys trying new flavors, and always suprises us with what she likes. Anyway, we certainly have a lot to be thankful for, and although we missed our families back home, we are so grateful for all the blessings we do have in our lives.

So Precious ;)

Big Girl Toy!

I've been searching for months for a walker thing for Julia for when she starts to stand and cruise on things...finally, last weekend we found one at the store. We put Julia on it, and she was a little startled when it started to move, but she likes playing with the toy on the front of it. We can't believe how strong she's getting, with pulling up on everything and crawling all over. Her thighs are even getting trimmed down!

She's Crawling!!

As of last Saturday, Julia's been crawling pretty proficiently. She's so fast too! Here's a video of her crawling the other night when we all got home from work and daycare. I can't believe how fast she's changing. She's also able to wave bye-bye, and hasn't been using her pacifier for about the last week. As much as I want her to stay little forever, it is amazing watching her grow and learn new things.
