Turkeys, Doctor Thumb, Hair Cuts, and New Words

Sometimes it's so hard to come up with a simple title. Especially with my crazy topic hopping posts.

We started the Thanksgiving crafts today. Cason actually participated the whole way through! We made little thumb-print turkeys like we saw on Pinterest.
Speaking of thumbs, we also drew faces on our thumbs last night, and played. Cason loved it. This was the doctor. His face made Paige laugh hysterically.
When it was time for bed we went to wash all the marker off our fingers and when I washed Cason's he wailed: "NOOO, not my talking friend that has an eye patch!" Ha. apparently one of his fingers was a pirate.

Today Paige got a haircut. She's been telling me for a while that she wants shorter hair. I had no problem with that, but wanted to be sure she really wanted it first. Since she's stuck to her guns so long I let her get it cut today, by Grannybob.
The little lady was impressing us with her soccer dribbling skills during Paige's practice today.
She also said two new words this afternoon. The first was tickle. I was tickling her, and I always say "tickle tickle" while I do it. Today she said it back to me, clearly. She did it again tonight for Jess to hear.

The second was when we got home from Paige's soccer practice, and I opened the door to get her out of her seat. As soon as the door opened she smiled and waved, and said in her cute girly voice: "HIIII!" Paige was so excited, and told Jess how "Neely said 'hi' and it was SO cute!" A couple hours later Jess ran to the store and I gave the kids their bath. We were in the living room getting them lotioned up and their pajamas on, when he got home and walked in the front door. Neely said "Hi!" and walked over to him.

I realized I forgot to include her 12 month weight and length when I did her birthday post. I like to include that stuff, in case our house ever burns down or something and we lose the baby books. Then I'll have it all recorded somewhere else. So...she is now 24 lbs and 31 inches long.
