Happy Thanksgiving!

Sissy Dana, Adam, and Glider came to visit for Thanksgiving + the weekend. Unfortunately, I was really bad about taking pictures. :-(


We set out groceries before work on Thursday and they came and did all the cooking! It was wonderful! Mark was on call but made it home for a couple hours to eat and chat with us. We put a candle in his pumpkin pie - not much of a birthday, being on call!


Friday I had to work again; Mark caught up on some sleep; Dana and Adam braved the malls. :-) Once we all were awake and together, we went to dinner at a Latin restaurant.


Saturday, Dana and I put up wall decals in the nursery while Mark was at work. The nursing corner....


Above the crib...

Above the changing table........


That night, we went to '50/50' at the cheapie theater.

Then we drove through the 'Festival of Lights' at Tanglewood Park - nearly 1 million Christmas lights! We listened to Christmas music on the radio.....very festive. :-)






We were so in the spirit of Christmas that we put up our tree Sunday morning (Dana's has been up for awhile, apparently). :-P


That afternoon, we went for Frogurt and played Scene It before they had to drive back to Roanoke. It was a nice, relaxing weekend - so nice to see family around the holidays! Love you guys!

Pulling the blocks down Eating the blocks Weight: 17 pounds Moods:  Happy except for meal time....lots of grunting and growling that is hard to interpret (Are you done?  Wanting more?  Wanting to feed yourself???)

Favorite hobby:  Trying to crawl up the one stair from the carpet to the hardwood; trying to pull up on things.

Favorite toy:  She really likes her walker, and her new jack-in-the-box from Auntie Krista. Favorite hobby:  Pulling all of the toys out of the toy box, and gunning for the stairs if someone leaves the gate open. Playtime:  Pulling everything out of the cupboards, cruising along furniture, climbing stairs, ruining the big kids' toys, and...finally interested in books!

Selah is 2 months old

Weight: 9 lbs, 9 oz (14th percentile) Length: 22" (36th percentile) Moods: She's most happy in the morning.  If we don't get a good morning nap, she tends to be fussy unless held. Favorite foods: Milk! Favorite toy: She likes her activity mat, and will hold the octopus sometimes. Favorite hobby: Defying mommy and daddy with short naps. Playtime: Morning mat time.  Baths are always a hit! Sleep: Around 6 weeks, she began eating at about 2 and 5am.  Around 8 weeks, she cut back to around 3-4 am, then up for the day around 6:30/7.  She's been a bit off since traveling this weekend....but hopefully we get that pattern back!  She has one long mid-day nap, but other naps are irregular.  Milestones: Smiles!  A rare 'coo', which we love to hear.  Good head control. She was born on her great-grandpa Ray's birthday, and turned two months on her great-grandpa Paul's birthday.  My loves     ...
