The month of November went by really fast for us and now Charlize is just a week away from being 6 months old! Our big event this month was Thanksgiving and this year we got it twice.
On Wednesday we had Thanksgiving with the Warren's and the sister missionaries.
Here is everyone enjoying the evening!

To top off the night, we got a really good laugh from Charlize. We were just sitting down to hear a message from the missionaries and Mom got a little giggle from Charlize. That got everyone else laughing too but when we finally settled down to hear the message, Charlize was still going. So cute.
Then on Thursday we had Thanksgiving with the Wrights and family.
My parents were also able to join us at the Wrights.
So, here is Thanksgiving Round Two:

Samantha and Nick playing ping pong...not sure who won this round.

And of course, here is an update on the baby!!
She is very busy lately learning how to get around without crawling....she is rolling everywhere!!
The other day I was in the bathroom getting ready and Charlize was playing on the floor in my room. Within just a few minutes, she had rolled across the floor and right into the bathroom doorway. Just a few seconds later she had figured out how to wiggle her way out of being stuck in the doorway and she rolled right into the bathroom with me. She is a busy little girl!!

For awhile she would just play with them with her hands but she has recently figured out how to get them in her mouth and she thinks that is the best!
This video clip shows some of the new things I think are so cute about her: the hiccups, playing with her feet, and my new favorite thing-- sucking on her bottom lip (look closely, she does it real quick in the beginning).
Charlize is also starting to "talk" a lot more. She has a deep, raspy little hum and a cute little babble with all sorts of stories to tell. I haven't been able to get a video yet but I'm working on it.
Finally, over the holiday break Colt took some time to take pictures of us; here are some of my favs:
This is just a fun, candid shot--
Charlize is always putting things in her mouth so she thought she would try my hair.
She always has her fingers in her mouth... what a cutie!!
Thanks Grandma for the headbands and beanie. Thank you Colt for taking great pictures!!
