Canton has been feeling quite craft as he gets into the spirit of the season, here he shows off his gingerbread skills.

Santa came to BRCC and Canton enjoyed lots of crafts and Liberty didn’t even cry with Santa, in fact, Santa quite enjoyed Liberty!

Canton made a snowman and put 2013 on it and then added a zero in one hand and a four in another, he told me “because Liberty is 0 and I’m 4!” What a great brother!

Canton has been really into bones lately. He’s even told us “I hurt my ulna.” He also informed me that “Liberty scraped my clavicle.”

Liberty is up to over a minute with sitting and is working hard on back to front rolling…

Hard to believe Liberty has been with us for five whole months!

Well, we were hoping she would be sitting, but all she wants to do is stand. She can sit for about 20 seconds on average, before she thrusts herself to try to stand, she sure loves to bear weight on her legs. We’ve resorted to holding her on the peanut ball with one of us holding the bottom of her feet, for the sensation, thanks for the tip Aunt Becky! She loves to hold on to me or the couch though! I can’t believe such a young baby wants to stand all the time! But, we got up to 61 seconds of sitting today! Hopefully only a few more days and she’ll get the hang of it! 🙂

Liberty is still her sweet self. She hardly ever cries and is easily comforted if she does, especially by being held/walking with mama or watching BIG BROTHER! We’ve also learned how ticklish she is under her arms and on her feet! She loves to laugh! Liberty also seems to be saying “hi”. When she sees someone after a time or when she wants some attention she makes a little coo that sounds just like “hi”!

Her sleep habits are still great, definitely can’t complain about 10pm – 7am sleeping, but she is down to one nap a day, which makes chores a little difficult, but hey, I’m only getting up once a night to pump so getting six hours of sleep at a time with a five month old, I count my blessings!

We traveled to GGs house for Liberty’s first Thanksgiving! Canton enjoyed mounds of country ham and entertained everyone with all his knowledge and telling people Liberty couldn’t have any food because “she will choke and break herself.”

Pap and Janice came for a visit today. Liberty was very happy with Pap, even though she’s entered that stranger anxiety stage she LOVED being held by Pap. Pap even made Mom go out and get some takeout lunch for us, can you believe she left us for 20 mins??? They took good care of us, I mostly entertained them with all my knowledge! See you all soon!
