Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Today, we drove down to Mountain View, CA for a Thanksgiving dinner at Uncle Greg’s and Aunt Mindy’s house. We had a great time stuffing our faces with all kinds of delicious food and then feeling sorry for ourselves because we couldn’t walk anymore. But I think it is fair to say that there was nobody there who had a better time than Mabel did. I’ll let you judge for yourselves:

Shake It Like a Polaroid!

I know this is late, but I want to make sure we made a post about this year’s Halloween adventures. This year was the first year that Mabel had an opinion on what she would like to be for Halloween. She was very specific and adamant that she wanted to be a scorpion. Yes…a scorpion. Rebecca and I were wondering how we would pull this off, but luckily, they went to the store and found a “Wonder Woman” costume instead. Mabel put it on, and her alter-ego took over.
In the photos, she is making faces and posing as Wonder Woman. The funniest thing, however, is that we didn’t coach her on how Wonder Woman should pose or what faces to make. It’s even funnier when you realize Mabel has no clue who Wonder Woman is – this is all her own doing.

Meticulously laying out her bounty – just like mama would

“Mama, I’m silly huh?”

Let’s try that face again!

I love Saturday mornings. This is the day where Daddy and Mabel have set aside time to play, read books, cuddle, watch videos or whatever. It’s the time of the week where I feel like I get to catch up on what I miss with her every other day. This video is a conversation between Mabel and Daddy a few days after Mabel rode the bus for the first time in San Francisco. I was particularly intrigued/concerned about the upside down baby (Mabel calls Lego people babies).

We have been working hard to have Family Home Evening every Sunday afternoon with Mabel. The key to success, we have discovered, is to always have a treat! This video captures a typical conversation between Mama and Mabel, and more importantly, the strong bond between them. I love watching them chat, so I figured I’d capture it on video for future reference.
** I didn’t edit it down at all, so it gets pretty long.
