Happy Thanksgiving

Me (5 months), Bryce (7), Savannah (1), Silas (5), Aidan (2)

My first Thanksgiving was lots of fun. We went to Neena's house for lunch, where everyone got to eat food but me. I did get to have a big bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, so I wasn't too hungry. Those sweet potatoes sure looked good. Mom says Neena is a really good cook and that next year I can eat whatever I want.

After lunch I got to spend time playing with my cousins, who are all very nice to me. We were having fun until Aunt Dana made us pose for group pictures. Savannah didn't like it at all, and we never could get everyone to look at the same camera at the same time. I still think this is a nice shot of all of us.

Teething

I now have two bottom teeth to show off. Even though the doctor told mom I wouldn't teethe until I was about 7 months old, I showed him! The last week of October I did a lot of fussing and chewing on my hands, and then one Saturday morning, Mom found a tiny little tooth crowning in my bottom gums. I got a second tooth just two weeks later. Now all I can do is chew on everything I can get my hands on - blankets, dad's finger, my binky, and boy is this teething ring yummy. Can't wait to use these teeth to chew on some food! I'm going to keep practicing for now !

Party time

My cousin Savannah turned one on November 10, and we celebrated at McDonald's. I was excited to attend my first real birthday party. It was lots of fun, but I was disappointed I wasn't allowed to have any birthday cake. It looked so good, and Savannah kept taunting me with all that yummy looking icing. I can't WAIT to have my own cake.... and eat it, too! Cousin Bryce, can I have bite, please?

Look - I can hold this!

This week I figured out how I can hold things with both hands! I'm so excited my hands work like this, because this bottle is amazing. Now, if I could just figure out how to get some water out of here.
