Happy Baby!

Christian is developing quite the personality! He has a bunch of expressions ... he's cooing and making little noises, smiling, and I'm sure I heard a little giggle yesterday. :) He's also figured out his thumb pretty well ... some people say that's not good, but I think it's pretty cute. :) And the stats for his 2 month check up ... Christian came in at a whopping 12 lbs 9 oz and 22.75 inches long. Here's our little guy...

Happy belated Thanksgiving!

We had a great time! And Christian had two first Thanksgivings! :) On Thanksgiving day, we celebrated down in Decatur with Mark's extended family (on his dad's side) ... lots of aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins were all ready to see the little guy! I didn't take a picture, so I'll try my best to explain ... Mark brought in Christian in his carseat and set him down in the middle of the room ... then about 15 family members stood around him and said "hello!" I wasn't sure how he'd react, but Christian just gazed up and around at everyone and seems to be soaking in all the love. :) He was SO good all afternoon - and enjoyed his Thanksgiving bottle. :)

Then, we had Thanksgiving #2 at our house with Mark's parents and his mom's parents. (Fortunately grandma made the turkey!) Christian, again, did SO well. :) Must be the mashed potatoes we fed him. :) (Teasing-of course! Though he did try some new things ...)

I had fun decorating and making my cheese pumpkins! (I had a tray of 26 for Thanksgiving day!) We love cheese!!Hey, even though I'm small, I want a seat at the table! I'm ready to go!
Hmmm, what's a fork? Shouldn't there be something yummy on this?
Dad, come on, do I really like wheat crackers?
Yes, this is much better! Thank you. :)

Now I'm ready for my Thanksgiving nap with grandpa! (Christian is a quick learner!)

And not to be forgotten ... Sophie in her "harvest bow!" (My crafty endeavor from last year!) After our meal, I peeked under the table and saw Sophie - just waiting patiently for anything at all that might fall from the table ... no worries Soph, no dog will go without turkey treats on Thanksgiving. :)
