21: Wish Lists

We made Christmas Wish Lists today. This was an idea I got from Pinterest.

We hung them right next to the window so Santa and his elves can see the checklist. Mol will be arriving one day next weekend, our own personal Bradley family elf. He will check in with Santa daily about their behavior.

20: Mitchell's First Kiss

19: Playing With Beads

18: Recycled Picture

I think anyone who knows me and reads the blog understands why I wasn't motivated to take pictures last night. So this is a day late and the picture is from over the summer. I can pretty much guarantee there will be other times I won't feel like taking pictures over the next 347 days. When this happens I will post a sentimental picture from the past.

We love you Winnie (Mom & Mama) - sure hope you can feel our prayers all the way over in Hong Kong.

17: Won-Ton Tacos

Yum! Dinner was delicious tonight.

Boring and ordinary tacos spiced up a bit with won-ton wrappers. It was a hit!

Even Maya approved.

16: Small Screen

We're back to watching TV on the small TV. Our new TV developed a line through the screen so we had to return it.

15: Food Drive

14: Big Boy Bath

It's good to be home. I'm sure we will be spending the next week trying to catch up on cleaning and laundry from our trip.

Some exciting news is that Mitchell doesn't seem to be afraid of the bath anymore. He took a bath one night last week without screaming and tonight he had a good time with Maya. Yay!

13: Mall Time

I really slacked off on Saturday in the photography department. We played at the mall in the afternoon.

Saturday night the adults got to go out without the kids. No pictures though.

12: Grand Rapids

We went to a Children's Museum on Friday. The kids loved it!

11: Road Trip

This weekend's posts are late because we didn't even bother to get our laptops our during our trip to Michigan. We left Thursday night to drive up to Grand Rapids to hang out with some new friends. It was a good time.

Here is a picture of Maya's "be good clip." She got a treat at every stop if her clip was still up. It worked wonders on the way there.

Mitchell loved climbing around on the hotel dolly.

8: Flower Girl

I forgot to hit the "publish post" button last night.

7: November 6 on 6

Trying to lock the cabinets with the child safety lock.

Playing with balloons from Papa's party.

We had to resort to taping the sign to him to get a good pic.

Making a mess in the pantry.

Some things to update:

• Words you say: Mama, Dada, more, woof-woof, ball, uh-oh, banana, hot, up, down, hi. You're first word was "no," but you don't really say it anymore. Sometimes you repeat "bye-bye," but not often. I might be forgetting a couple.
• Signs you do: all done, more, eat, car, please, thank you.
• Sleeping: We have been letting you cry a lot at night. You wake up and the paci doesn't work. The only choice we have is to let you cry. You have been able to stay up until 8:00 recently.
• Play: You LOVE baby dolls. You like to ride Thomas. You like your piggy bank and shape sorter toys that you put pieces in to. You like to dance to fun music. You pick out books and bring them to us to read to you, then you back yourself up and sit in our lap to listen.
• Stats: We will find out height/weight on the 16th - check back.

6: Surprise, Papa!!!

One day late...
