Eleven Months of Magnolia

Wow, we're so close to one full year of this amazing baby!

This month's highlights include-

*Magnolia's first Halloween! She was Little Red Riding Hood (with Poppy playing the role of Grandma haha), and of course looked adorable. We drove around to friend's and family's houses to show off their cute costumes.

*A big trip out west to Las Vegas, the Hoover Dam, St. George, Zion's National Park, and then family time in Orem to meet her great-grandparents. It was a great week and Magnolia was a great travel buddy. She loves people watching and is a very easy-going traveler.

*SHE SAID MAMA!! It happened while we were in Utah and it absolutely melted me. She was a bit clingier than normal amid all of the new situations and people and didn't always appreciate when I left the room. One day we thought she said "Ma" when I stepped into the kitchen, and the next day she said a very clear (and sad) "Mama" as I was closing the bathroom door and leaving her with David. I don't know how I will ever say no to her now that she's starting to talk to me, she was always cute but this is a whole other level.

*More and more opinions! I can see her starting to morph into a toddler. She is still extremely happy and calm, but is wanting to be more independent and do things on her own and in her own time frame. 

*Magnolia's first Thanksgiving! She tried some sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce and was happy with that. We are incredibly thankful for her.

Happy full last month of babyhood to our favorite little girl! <3
