Thanksgiving Day come and gone...

Well today Charlotte is officially 7 months old! So crazy! Still no teeth thank goodness because I'm still nursing and she thinks its funny to bite! She's done really well on solids. Every evening she eats a full jar of meat with a full jar of veggies then for breakfast we do probably close to 1/4 cup cereal with a jar of fruit. She's probably about 15.5 lbs now so I'm chunking her up a bit. She's just getting so big and kinda will wiggle on her tummy to get a toy. Maybe by the end of the year she'll be crawling... we'll see. We had something wonderful come to Utah. We finally have In 'n' Out! Two locations just opened... Orem and Draper. I have pics below from the Draper one. Two more locations open next month... West Jordan and I think American Fork. Life is good now! Thanksgiving day was great. We went up to Scott's Grandma and Grandpa Bennion's house. His Uncle Gary and cousins were there. It was fun to see them all again. Then we headed up to the Robert's to see them. They've been friends with Scott's family for a while and he's friends with their sons. Then after that we went to my parents and my brother was there with the kids. We had a very eventful Thanksgiving but the food was great and it was fun to spend so much time with friends and family. Anyway, here's some pictures below. We haven't done anything too exciting but I'm sure we'll have a bunch of Christmas light pictures coming up soon so yeah....

This was after waiting a little over an hour and a half. We could finally see the pick up window! It was a long wait but worth it to me. I've really missed it.

The glorious sign I have missed ever so much :)

This was when we were still on the street. We hadn't turned into the parking lot yet. The line was crazy long!

This was the first line we had to wait in. You can't even see the restaurant from here. It was so long and they were taking our orders from here. It was insane but so fun to do.

I was trying to get a pic of her face when she looks at the lights in our house but couldn't quite capture it. Instead I got this funny little smile. She is such a cutie.

Yesterday Scott and I walked to Macey's to use our last WIC vouchers and we bundled up little Charlotte. I love her smile.

This was me and Charlotte after our Thanksgiving Day adventure. She was exhausted and barely napped at all. We were both so tired.

She loves her sippy cup now. When she gets fussy when she's eating I usually give her this to calm her down. She tries to hold it herself but it's kinda bulky for her.

Last week we went and took some family pictures with the Spence side of the family. They came out so cute too. But afterwards we went to IHOP and this was Charlotte's first restaurant experience in a high chair. She did really well. She ate her dinner I brought and just loved playing. I think she likes feeling like a big girl too.

She was in her saucer while I cleaned but started to get fussy and needed to keep her occupied for a few more minutes so I gave her a bell pepper to suck on. She loved it! She was rocking back and forth and just loving it. She had her hand on it and I told her I needed her to put her hands down so I could take a pic and she did. She just let it hang out of her mouth.

She loves this saucer. She rocks in it and it's so funny.

This was after her walk. She has a red nose from the cold.

I just love her hair. It sticks straight up. It's just like my sister Chloe's hair when she was this age.
Here she is all bundled up for a walk. She loves her walks.

Me and my little girl. I love her.
