Happy Thanksgiving!

We're on our way to Florida tomorrow. Since Abby's been crawling/pulling up more and sleeping less I haven't had time to post much, but hope everyone has a very Happy Thanksgiving with friends and/or family.

We'll post pictures of the Sligh family happenings when we return.

Friends...

Since I haven't taken any pictures around here this week, I'll share some pictures from our time at Urban Grind with a mom's group I am a part of. Urban Grind is a great coffee shop with even better playrooms (that's right 3 rooms fully stocked with newborn to preschool toys).




Anyway, this week there were just three of us with the three munchkins. Ransom turns one next week. (Happy Birthday, buddy!) Hayden was born in December and is near and dear to my heart because she has fallen asleep on me before, something my own daughter has only done once since leaving the hospital! Besides the kids crawling all over each other, it's always fun to hang out with Jerilee and Leslie who are a step or two ahead of me and can give me tips on "what to expect next."


In addition to her Joker-like smile in the above pictures, you'll see Abby's striped Baby Legs. They were a gift from a friend, and let me say, if you have a child two years old or under, these are the best invention ever, and can be spotted on kids' arms and legs all over town. Keep arms/legs warm and still have easy access to change diapers, keep feet barefoot for easier walking, protect knees while crawling...and just look cute. They're great. OK, enough advertisement for today...just keep them in mind when you're Christmas or baby shower shopping...

This One's for Aunt Janie

Today was the final wearing of the adorable outfit Aunt Janie gave her namesake on their first meeting. It has been worn often over the past three months, but is getting a little snug. I got a little sentimental about having to pack it away, and snapped a few pictures of Abby after dinner.

In addition to the adorable outfit, you'll also notice:
1) There is drool all over the front of the cute jumper--she sprouted another bottom tooth today without us even knowing.

2) Abby has started clapping after meals, and just in general when she is happy. Although her meals usually consist of some mashing together of various fruits and veggies, it gives my self- esteem a little boost to get a round of applause after every meal!

Thanks again, Janie and we'll look forward to seeing you in just a couple of weeks!
