Temple Square

On Friday, Dec. 5th we picked my mom up from the airport and then we went to Salt Lake and checked out the lights around temple square. Mila loved all the lights. She is really into christmas decorations. Here are a few pictures from the evening...

Mila found some sunglasses in her stroller and had to put them on. I doubt she could see much but she looked cute.

the "because" clause

Mila learned the word because and she tries to use it as much as possible. Everyhing she says is followed by "a-cause" Of course she has no idea how to use it and most sentences are "it's yummy a-cause, it's yummy" or "I'm tired, a-cause, I am" or "You're my mommy a-cause you're my mommy." Every once in a while one will make sense like, "I'm a baby a-cause I poop in my pull up"She actually said that recently. (sigh) Anyway, the best so far is today when we were listening to a CD of hers which says "you're a chicken and I'm a turkey" So she came up with this reasoning..."I'm mila a-cause I'm not a turkey!" It is probably only a matter of time until she realizes she can start asking, "Why?" and I can try to explain things to her, but for now I am enjoying her attempts at reasoning.

Mila took some pictures last week for Christmas. I think they turned out pretty good. She is getting so big!

I like this picture of us. I love her smile!

This is my favorite picture. She is getting so big!

You have to love this face. I get this look from her a lot. She is definitely stubborn sometimes.

Big smiles from my sweet little girl. It took forever to curl her hair, and only the bottom got curled. I had to put up with a lot of whining, but I think it turned out okay considering how STRAIGHT her hair is. Without hairspray it would have been straight again in minutes.

More leaves

The snow was gone by November 8th, which gave me more time to rake leaves. I had fun making the biggest pile possible and throwing Mila in the pile.

Our first snow was November 5th. I was so excited to show Mila the snow outside. She looked out the window and then looked at me and said, "What is it?" I told it was snow and she immediately ran to her closet and said, "I wear my pink boots!" She was so excited to wear her boots and help me "sweep the car." She got her little broom and began sweeping the snow off. I did the windows, and she was a little upset we didn't sweep all the snow off. She loved helping though. It hasn't snowed since then, but I bet we are going to have a lot of fun this winter.

Funny Mila sayings!

This morning it started thundering and Mila asked me, "What's that noise?" Then I said, "that's thunder." Then she nodded and said "his tummy grumbling." I was confused and asked her whose tummy was grumbling and she said, "Thunder's tummy grumbling" and she made grumbling noises and rubbed her tummy. It was so funny. I love all the funny things she says. On Friday I said it smelled like rain. She laughed and said "It doesn't smell like rain! It smells like pizza!" Gotta love it!
