8 Month Photo

Abby had 2 teeth poke through at the same time this month.  Started to crawl just a couple days before turning 8 months old.  We keep trying different kinds of food but no interest in anything although she didn't seem to mind cream corn as much as some of the others.

Christmas Tree

We ended up setting our tree up, on the upstairs landing.  Of course it wasn't ideal being upstairs but at least we were able to keep Abby out of it plus I'm not sure if we could have found room for it in the living room anyways.  We did set the tree up one night and then decorated it the next day so that's why the kids have different clothes on.

Preschool Christmas Program

Ethan's preschool did a cute little Christmas program.  They started with a little nativity scene and then sang a few songs.

Zoo Lights

We managed to make it to the zoo lights one evening.  It was a little chilly but not horrible (I think it was around freezing but since I'm so far behind I've kind of forgotten).  Both of the kids did really well.  Wade had Abby in the Ergo carrier so she was just kind of snuggled with him and seemed to be warm enough.  It was a pretty good light display and we thought it was neat how they stuck with an animal theme.

The many faces of Abby

Abby makes some of the funniest faces.  After serveral attempts, I managed to catch some of them one day but it was with my cell phone so they aren't the best.

Christmas Lights

For months, Wade has been talking about decorating our tree outside for Christmas.  I think he was trying to talk me out of an indoor tree but of course I wasn't going to let him get off that easy.  Ethan was really excited to have exterior lights this year and enjoyed helping put them up.  Abby and I went out for a little bit to help supervise but it was kind of chilly so weren't out for long.

Spruce Meadows Christmas Market

The kids and I went to the Spruce Meadows Christmas Market in November with friends.  Ethan and Erik had a good time checking out reindeer, singing yetti's, hearing elves at work, and just enjoying the mild weather.
