Happy 19 month birthday sweet girll! Your blog is alittle late this month, we have been alittle busy/tired. Michael, Lilliana, Aspen and I are so excited and feel truly blessed to tell you all that we will be welcoming another baby into our family this summer! We are on cloud 9 and can't wait for this new journey!

Lilliana is very excited too, she already rubs my belly with me and tells everyone where Mommy's baby is. She also is showing what a big sister she is going to be, she has been getting her babies dressed, feeding them bottles, burping them and changing their diapers. She also loves to sit in her seat and just hug and rock them. She also has been helping out Aunt Sarah burp Callen after his feeding and our neighbor Joanie's baby Cole. She would rather sit by the Mommies and watch the babies and help with them than play with the kids. Grammi likes to tell us that she was like that when she was a baby too:)
Lilliana has been treating Mommy and Daddy to some extra sleep time in the morning. Instead of waking at 5:00 a.m. she is now sleeping until 6:00 a.m! She is still taking her great naps and we are loving that too...for naptime for us. I think Michael is pregnant too:)) Or just so excited all day that by the night he is exhausted! He brought Lilliana home a HUGE jumpy for a present to her for being a new big sister. Daddy always gets the best gifts!

We are enjoying the Christmas and winter season with Lilliana! We are loving playing in the snow building snowmen and going for sled rides! We don't last too long out there, Lilliana doesn't like gloves and just throws them off. She loves to sit and eat the snow. Mommy and Lilliana made colored snowballs and had lots of fun eating them and trying to get the color off our hands.

Lilliana also enjoyed decorating her own Christmas tree with Grammi. Lilliana has it in her room and she just loves reading books by it at night and then saying "night night Christmas tree."Thanks Grammi for making this holiday so special for Lilliana.
Daddy and Mommy have been having fun hiding "Mr.Elf" every night and having Lilliana find him, she walks around with her hands out "Where are you Miter Eff." It is so cute!

Lilliana is 20.8 lbs...as of today! She is getting taller everyday and it feels like we have to buy new clothes every couple weeks! At the Dr, we had to see a new Dr, Dr. Conroy and Lilliana's Dr is Dr. Uribe. So Dr. Conroy walked into the room and says hi to Lilliana and Lilliana goes "No, Dr. Reba." had to mean this isn't Dr. Uribe Mom! Dr. Conroy couldn't believe that she just said that, then asked me what else she says. We have a fun Dr visit that day laughing at all the things Lilliana says. Maybe we will get to see Dr. Conroy again, Mommy liked her:)

Lilliana likes to zip things up and down, even her clothes. Sometimes we will find her undressed after her nap:) She says hi to everyone. Today there was alittle girl at the Dr and she goes "Hi Girl, pity dress." Her Mom and I were laughing so hard!

Lilliana loves to wrestle(can't think of a better name for it)! Yes, my little girl loves to wrestle:) Since she was little Michael and I have snuggled and rolled around on the floor with her and today she just loves it so much and looks forward to her and Daddy's wrestle time before bath at night.

She likes to walk down the steps now all by herself, brush her hair and undress herself...while telling Daddy and I "I got it Mom, I got it Dad." hahahah.

Lilliana has been waking up yelling for Santa Claus and Choo Choo train, she is very excited for the Holiday! We saw a man in the store today with a white beard and she looked at me and said "Mommy Santa Claus." The man and I were laughing and he thought that was pretty cool, I am sure he gets it all the time.

Mommy and Daddy are great! We just went to see the play Wicked this weekend and loved it and have been enjoying planning some family fun winter activities for us. Mommy is feeling pretty tired(which is expected) and very nauseous...we just think of the reason and outcome it doesn't even matter.

We had a great Thanksgiving! We got to see both of our family members and it was just a blessing for us. We spent Thanksgiving and the Friday after this year with the whole Bozue Family(Amanda's family). On Saturday morning we traveled to Arthur IL to see Aunt Kristin, Uncle Andy and Nana who were visiting Andy's family. We had so much fun seeing Andy's family again too and were so thankful for their hospitality.

Happy Decemeber everyone!

Happy Birthday Lilliana...we will be writing to you too soon for the big 2-0 month birthday:)
