This month we celebrated McKell's first Thanksgiving. We all have a lot to be thankful for this year! You are now 10lbs and 23 1/2 inches long. We wake up every morning to big smiles and now you are "talking" to us for about 30 minutes at a time. You have learned all sorts of new things this month including how to blow raspberries and stick your tongue out at us. For Thanksgiving we went over to Meme and Pawpaw Daly's house, with Aunt Laura, Uncle Mike and your great Aunt Judy. What a social butterfly you have become, and were totally happy to go visit everyone for most of the afternoon, until we wore you out and came home so we could all take a nap.
We skipped all the black friday shopping, although Mommy and McKell were still up at 5am. Instead we went out to a tree farm to cut our own Christmas tree. Sadly the only good trees on the lot were in the orange grove!
So we went to a regular tree lot and came home with a 9ft tree! Took Mommy and Daddy all weekend to get it all decorated, but you sure do love the lights.
On Dec 7th, you got to take your very first airplane ride! Mommy and McKell flew all by ourselves all the way to Washington to visit Nana and Papa Dennis. You were the best baby on the plane! Not one single time on the flights did you cry! Even the flight attendant came up and told us what a wonderful girl you are. The Captain came out and gave you a little travel log, where he wrote how many miles you flew and signed it! Sadly Mommy's hands were too full to get any pictures of you and the Captain. We spent 10 days in Washington, where you got to meet your Great Grandma Cox, your Great Grandpa Neumayer and your crazy Uncle Dan. We had dinner with Aunt Karen, Uncle Dave and your cousin Nick, but you slept most of the time (and Mommy forgot to take any pictures)
You turned 3 months old while we were in Washington, so the rest of the story continues on the next page!
