And since a post without a picture isn't an interesting post, here's an adorable picture of my girl! Although I know her eye color changes minute by minute, it still surprised me when they came out nearly brown in this photo (okay, so they're more grey-green)!
She's decided that it's HILARIOUS to wear her socks on her hands. I'm not sure why. She hasn't really seen any puppets besides Elmo and his friends, but I don't think she's connected that yet...
Oh, and she counts! It's so darn cute!! It goes something like this...
Me: Cadence, let's count. One...
Cadence: (silence)
M: Two...
C: Twwwwoooooo!
M: Three...
C: Freeeeeeeee!
M: Four...
C: Foooor
M: Five....
C: Fis
M: Six...
C: SICK!
M: Seven...
C: ne-nen
M: Eight...
C: EAT!
M: Nine...
C: nine
M: Ten!
C: NEN!
And sometimes she tries to do it on her own. It goes something like this...
"twwwwwooooo, free, twoooo sick!"Adorable!!!
This year we're doing a book advent calendar (Thank you Kristi for the idea!!!). I found a bunch of 2nd hand Dr. Seuss books for .50 a piece and a few others for great prices. Cadence loves it!!! But there are two things I'm changing for next year.
#1: It will be more of a 12 days of Christmas advent calendar. Can you imagine how many books we'll have in our house if she gets 24 new books every year? Just at Christmas? We already get her books for several other occasions throughout the year. We love books.
And #2: I'm saving the "big hit" for day 12, Christmas. This year's big hit was a HUGE Elmo's Christmas song board book. My thinking was that since it's a Christmasy book, it would be fun to have it out through the season and to start out with a book I know she'll love. Cadence's thinking is "E-nee (Ernie--her current favorite Sesame Street character) book!" everytime she starts to open a present. I think she was a little disappointed on day 2-6 when the books weren't Sesame, but we opened day 7 today and I think she was excited about her new "real paper pages" books! :)

She is so adorable! I am glad that you like the book advent. We actually have 24 books now but we do all Christmas related. That way they get to hear a Christmas story everyday. Some fun, some silly, some about Christ. I already had some really nice ones pre kids but have slowly picked up others at yard sales/thrift stores. Right now we have more board book, paperback types but my hopes is that the older they get, the more hardcover, less child like our books will become. I just use the same 24 holiday books from year to year.
