November

   The people in Atlanta have been so great! It's so nice moving into a new place and being able to make friends so fast. Lily and I love going to play group each week. We're all enjoying the nice fall weather. Lily has begun clapping and picking up on new signs. She signs: all done, more, eat, milk, and bath. It's great! It seams like everyday she is learning new things. She LOVES to be outside. And shes begun spinning in her jumper until it can't spin anymore. Then she picks up her feet and goes flying round and round. She goes and goes everyday until she crashes. Its been fun celebrating the holidays in a new place with new people. Thanks to everyone for being so welcoming to our family!

Lily loves helping and adding laundry!

Yes... I would like this for Christmas!

  Halloween was a lot of fun. It was Lily's first and she dressed up as Tinkerbell. She was mostly excited about the wand that came with her costume. It was great to take her out and let her see all the people dressed up. She thought that was great! My favorite part was decorating the cupcakes with Ammon. I think I would like it to be a tradition! He made decorating them so much fun!

Gramma & Grampa's Visit

It was great to have Gramma and Grampa Johnson come visit in October! We were so excited to see them and show them our new home. The fall in Georgia is beautiful. There are so many trees everywhere so when the leaves change colors it is an amazing sight to see. We rode the Marta Train to the airport to get our visitors. (mine and Lily's first time) We had such a great weekend. We visited downtown, checked out the scenery, picked out Lily's Tinkerbell costume, and watched Gramma cruise 180 mph around Atlanta Motor Speedway! But most of all we just loved being together!

 

Lillian 8 months

It is amazing watching Lily grow. She is definitely developing her own likes and dislikes. Last month she signed "milk" for the first time and began crawling. With these two abilities under her belt the world is hers! She loves to swing, be outside, laugh, make others laugh, stand up next to everything and get into everything. She also loves to jump and spin in her jumper. Her personality is starting to shine through more and more. I love these pictures because they capture so much of the joy she makes us feel everyday.

Lily's first hair barrett!

She's kissing her reflection.

 She's so sweet to cuddle with at the end of the day.
