Thanksgiving in KC

On Thanksgiving, we bundled up the kids and headed to the Plaza for the annual Plaza Lighting. It was a little cold, but I think the kids enjoyed the show, especially the fireworks.

Sammy at 15 months

"chocolate face"

Sammy is 15 months old today. Sammy remains a petite little thing weighing in at 20 lbs. this week (10th percentile). She has changed a lot since her first birthday. Around October 1st, she decided crawling was for babies and became a full time walker. It's amazing how mastering that developmental milestone has transformed her into a toddler. Sammy's communication skills have also advanced significantly. She now points at what she wants and throws a temper tantrum when she can't have what she wants. Sammy is full of tricks too. She can wave bye-bye, cover her mouth when she fake coughs, dance, signal a touchdown, splash in the tub and point out things in her books...all adorably cute. She's a good eater, a good sleeper and unless she's hungry or tired, she's a happy little girl.

Happy Halloween!

Saturday was a very eventful day for the kids. Between pumpkin carving, the neighborhood party and trick or treating, they had a lot to keep them busy. Andy dressed up as a construction worker and Sammy wore Andy's 2006 purple dragon costume.
