Another good ole' Chicago weekend!

Thank you weather gods for a fabulous November! We have been enjoying the weather as much as possible...it will be short lived. Now that we've got 9 Chicago winters under our belt we expect the cold weather to smack us in the face very soon. It will come without warning and will not let up for 4 months. I can't wait!!!

With the sun shining bright we decided to have a snack outside on our front deck.

Lyla was enjoying the scenery...watching all the big buses drive by.

Trying to get a closer look at all that was going on! She is such a nosey nelly!!

Now onto some sticky fun. Lyla loves sticky stuff! Her favorite page in her DOG book is the page where she gets to touch the dogs sticky tongue and the frogs sticky pads in her touch-in-feel animal book. She loves flipping through pages in her books but the "sticky" pages always get the most love!!

So one day I thought of stickers....duh! And thank goodness... something that holds her attention longer than 30 seconds...which is a hard thing these days!!!

She needed help putting on her slipper....

The 1 kitchen drawer Lyla is allowed to get in...

Peek-a-boo is back...we haven't seen her do it in months...and it's back - oh how I have missed it!!!



And lastly, Lyla's new favorite. She can now stack cups and boxes on her own. But of course the fun part is to tip them over!!

We are headed to Ohio for Thanksgiving - which I assure you there will be several postings to wrap up our stay. For now I wish you all a food & family filled holiday - and if you are traveling...safe travels!!!

Oh yay! I'm glad her slippers fit now. Soo cute! I really cannot wait to see her. And just all hang out again! By the way - are those top photos with your new lens? They're adorable!
