Will the Real Slim Shady Please Stand Up!

I set Liam in his crib so that I could put some clothes away. When I looked back, he was standing! Luckily, he repeated the feat after I grabbed the camera:

(Christmas pics coming...there are a lot to go through!)

Baby Legs

We've put on baby leggings for the winter, and I think they may have beat out overalls as the cutest article of baby apparel!

Dots.

And Stripes.

We will always accept baby leggings as a gift! (hint, hint)

Boo's Shower

My little sister, Rebekah, had a baby shower last weekend for her second child, due in January. It was fun to host this event with 11 of Boo's closest friends! Baby Margaret Gray has been well outfitted and set up for a cozy life in the Louis home!

It was nice of Liam and his cousin Sarah Grace to pass out simultaneously to give their moms a break!

We attempted to take a "cousin" pic since they won't all be together at Christmas. It was madness! This is a shot taken right before Henry ran down the street with his shoes on the wrong feet!

Liam with his entertaining Cousin Madeline.

On the way home, Liam and I made a quick stop to see Grandma and Grandpa Sherry.

I was nervous about the drive to Dallas and back by myself with Liam in tow, but I have to give the boy props for his surprisingly pleasant behavior! Success!

Thanksgiving Trip

We headed to Shreveport for Thanksgiving and spent a night in Mansfield to see Leif's folks on the way.

Liam with Grandpa.

With Grandma, riding a horse!

Here, he is actually standing on the horse. We're raising a trick rider!

Thanksgiving Day was spent in East Texas at my dad's cousin's pre-Civil War home. It was an absolutely beautiful day with wonderful family and all the right casseroles!

Our Family.

Cousins with Mimi and Papa Harv. Harvey is saying, "I am smiling!"

Me with my super prego sister. Doesn't her face look a lot smaller than it did last time!

Liam with Great Grandmother Lagersen. She rocked him to sleep. Miracles do happen!
Bummer the pic is blurry...the room was dim.

While in Shreveport, we got Counter Culture yogurts and went for a walk around the Alma Mater.

Leif called this Liam's "philosopher pose."

It was a great trip and we look forward to doing it again at Christmas!
