A few more thoughts about life with these crazies...
Right now Lili loves her Dallin. She says his name very clearly. Sometimes she says his name over and over again just to hear herself saying it. She loves Gavin too, but since they are closer in age, Gavin treats her like any other sibling his age. He sometimes shares and is kind and sometimes tackles her. Dallin though is that much older so he can recognize that Lili is a baby still. He will put her in the swing and push her, help her on the tramp, get her out of her crib when she wakes up etc. She brings out his tender side and she will follow him wherever he goes!

One of our family activities this last month was at the Elementary School carnival. Dallin got to practice his Karate skills again.
This is a bad picture, but both boys are holding their stuffed animals that they adopted at the carnival.
Lili had her first dentist visit. I thought the hygienist was just going to count her teeth, but Lili was doing so well that she cleaned them and everything. I actually laid on the chair and she was on top of me. Sitting on the big chair by herself was too scary. Lili is obsessed with her toothbrush, peppermint and mint flavors, and toothpaste so really this wasn't surprising that she did so well for the dentist. She likes to find other people's toothbrushes and suck on them. I found mine by the front door the other day. Super gross! It is best to keep all the bathroom doors closed with Lili around! She also likes to put toilet paper in the toilet and flush it. She has clogged the toilet before.
Lili and I are already having fights over her hair. She has not caught the vision of braids and beads. Lili thinks it is funny to pull out her hair while she is in her crib waiting to get out or before she falls asleep and suck on it. She likes the taste of her conditioner. I've tried changing her conditioner, but apparently they all taste good. She usually pulls from her left side of her head. In the below pictures you can see the difference between the left side and right side now. If anyone has ideas on how to stop her pulling out her hair, let me know!
Lili hurt her ankle a week and a half before Halloween jumping on the tramp. She stopped walking on her foot that evening and then struggled sleeping all night. By the next morning (at 5 a.m. because neither of us were sleeping anyways), I felt like I should take her in to get a x-ray just in case. This is our first time having to get x-rays for an accident. Pretty good for a family of very active kids. Luckily it was just a sprang though. Lili didn't walk for almost two weeks. It was so sad to see her back to crawling again!
I caught this picture the other day. The three youngest just decided to snuggle together.
Love these sweeties
