Lil 15 Months + Snow Days

Its hard to think of Lily already being a toddler...I still call her my baby :)  We had her 15 month check (at the end of Nov...oops!) and she is staying on track growing!  Here are some stats from her appt:

Weight 26 lbs - 87%
Length 32.25 in - 92%
Head 18.5 in - 78%

Lily definitely has a bit of sass in her!  I've told Ryan he is going to have a lot of headaches when she turns 13!  We wouldn't change it for anything.  We absolutely adore her!  Lily has been a lot more chatty lately and likes to try repeat almost anything we ask her. One new thing we learned about Lily is that she LOVES the snow.  It was fun to watch her as she finally got to play in the snow for the first time.  Now she goes around the house putting on her boots and trying to find her coat frequently.  Here are some pics of our peanut and fun snow days.

Transformation

We FINALLY got around to painting the outside of our house!  We had a good excuse for it taking so long.....we completely remodeled every single room on the inside of our house, built a deck, did some front yard landscaping, had a couple kids :)  But we are sooo happy with the transformation of the outside!  Here are the before & after pictures.  Enjoy.

Highlights

We've been busy this fall!  Lily is at a very busy stage and keeps me on my toes all day long :-)  Those two facts combined leave very little time for posting!  So I figured I would leave you with some pictures to show off the highlights of our fall.  Enjoy!

Contrary to this picture she actually really enjoyed going out trick or treating!  

We thought he made a pretty cute cowboy!

Fun on the Farm

We had a chance to visit Grandpa & Grandma B while dad was away on work in Sept.  We also made a stop in at Grandma M's work and visited all our great grandpas and grandmas.  The kiddos loved all the grandparent time!!  Here are some pictures from our visit.

Lily was very into the piano 

Look what we found at Grandma's house!!

So many pretty flowers

Logan loved getting a tour of the farm on Great Grandpa's golf cart!  Grandpa even let him "drive" a little...no wonder he asks if we can go back almost every day!
