Thanksgiving







It was a great one! We got to see all of daddy's side of the family! We had fun eating, playing outside, and watching movies! This girl ate turkey by the truck load!

A few things that Diella is doing now... we were in the car the other day, listening to music, I was nodding my head to the beat, she copied, now we do it all the time! :)

If you hold her & then go to let her down, hands first, with her hands on the floor, if you hold her feet, she'll do a wheel barrow walk, like walk on her hands, I couldnt believe it at first, but she does it quite easily!
Ahna taught her how to catch a ball! From about 3 feet away, she showed her to first put her hands together, then lightly tosses it to her and she (usually) opens them at the right time and catches it! Quite a few times she got it! We were impressed cuz it seems like most kids watch the thrower, instead of the ball, but she concentrated so hard on the ball, it worked!

And lastly, not even really intentionally one day, I was putting away her Alphabooks, and as I showed each one to her, I was telling her what each letter was... so after I said each one, she tried to copy them! So now we do it a few times a day... I go through each letter of the alphabet & she'll copy them! We had trouble with F, L, and Q... but she's already getting better at each letter! Even the tough ones like K & W... getting better & better!
