Thanksgiving

Too much turkey, not enough pictures.  A wonderful day packed with our favorite people and delicious dishes.  Gobble, gobble.

6 months

Half a year, Hazy. Time is flying. This month was a big one for you with lots of changes. You started solids and took to them pretty quickly. You found your voice and you are loud. You started to grab everything in sight. We now keep a pretty wide circle open around your bumbo after you knocked over a full bottle of wine. You giggle with your whole body and your tummy shakes like a bowl full of jelly. You roll all over the place and you are speedy. You will sit up for a few seconds before taking a dive. Thanks for getting things figured out in the sleep department, we are all pretty excited you got back on track. You rarely cry, you easily smile, and your drool more than any baby I've ever met. You are the world's coolest and happiest kiddo. We love every single inch of your chubby little body and every strand of spiky hair on your sweet little head.

D.C.

I visited D.C. for the first time and did a whirlwind tour around my work obligations.  Such a cool city that deserves a propper visit soon.

Favorite things 2012

We squeezed in our 2012 Favorite Things holiday party while Jen and Maddy were in town.  One of my favorite traditions with four of my favorite girls.  We even let the boys and kids come this time.  Sloane thought Maddy was so cool and kept insisting we call her Maddy at random times in the weeks that followed.  2012 favorite things included Kombucha & eyeliner, chopper/salad dressing maker, sock bun sponge & thong & dish towel, air plant & glass holder, knives and OPI nail dry drops. 

Showering baby Northcott

Tricky Nicki and the tall guy are having a baby and we got to shower mama and baby with love.  Another maddening friend who did not find out the sex of her child.  Oh how this kiddo is already so loved.  We are so excited to meet the little munchkin.
