Baby's First Thanksgiving

Once again, I'm behind!

I blame it on Dargan being sick, then ME being sick (yep, I caught the daycare crud), then holidays... yeah yeah, excuses excuses.

We survived Scott's week in China/Taiwan, endured some sicknesses, enjoyed the holidays, and relaxed over the weekend. Still working on sitting (getting better!) and still not sleeping great, although we did have one night of 9 hours straight of sleep... that came out of nowhere! 

Scott ran the Turkey Trot 8k on Thanksgiving morning, unfortunately Dargan and I did not join him - I was still feeling sick and didn't want to subject D to the cold if we didn't have to. Maybe next year it can be a family tradition! My parents and brother came to visit - first time Matthew has seen D since he was about a month old. He's grown so much!!

Not much else going on really, just taking it day by day. Here's the photo roll from the past few weeks....

Last weekend he was SO smiley!

We did finally get a high chair and put it together - he really likes sitting in it and joining us at the dinner table for meals. It's great having him up at eye level!

What is this?

Gonna get it...

Got it! Now what... ?

Still haven't quite figured out the cookies, but we're getting better. Also working on drinking water from a sippy cup! He's not a big fan... 

SIPPY CUP!

Another fun discovery lately is RATTLES! All of a sudden he loves shaking anything that rattles. Still also loving crinkle paper/fabric, but really likes rattles. Just shake everything!!

Sleepy babe

Discovering our feets!!

Sitting, playing with turtle.

We got fancied up for Thanksgiving dinner....

HEY Y'ALL!

Hi Grandpa!

Distracted nursing!

Whut.

Tummy time!

Lookin' cute sittin' in my hoodie!

Heyyyyy cutie boy!

When it's 70 degrees in November, we wear shorts with our hoodies.

Smacking mommy in the face is also one of our new favorite activities.

Making yummy noises with every bite during breakfast:

Banana in the mesh feeder... found a new feeder made of silicone instead of cloth. MUCH easier to clean and seems to be easier for him to use. He even picked it up himself!

WHEW. Enough photos for you??   :-P
