My First Thanksgiving

Me with the Thomas Turkey on Thanksgiving.  He was twice the weight as me!

Its been a CRAZY week!  Mommy and Daddy packed up all my stuff and put me in my car seat for a VERY LONG TIME and we ended up in a very cold place called Pennsylvania!  We went to see Grammie and Grandpa for Thanksgiving!  I dont mind car rides so much, so I decided to just relax and go with the flow on our way there, but when we got there I got to see a lot of people!  I got to see my cousins in person for the first time, and my Aunts and Uncles.  They all held me and smiled at me - it was sooooo much fun!  I tried to behave but sometimes its hard because Im so used to Mommy and Daddy.

On Thanksgiving Day I got to take my picture with the turkey which everyone got to eat except me, and later on I got dressed up in my new dress.  I didnt like it very much.  Dresses arent nearly as comfortable as my normal outfits.  All of the smells from the food made me drowsy so I took a nap during dinner, especially since all of my fussing from being in my dress wore me out!  It was a great time with all of the family and I cant wait to see what it is like next year!

I love my cousins!!!

On Friday night after Thanksgiving, Mommy and Daddy went out on a date for dinner and I got to stay home with everybody else.  They did such a good job babysitting me.  If I fussed, then someone else got to hold me.  I do like when Kaitlyn rocks me and Lauren did such a good job talking to me and smiling at me!  When it was time for bed, Grammie did such a good job giving me my bottle and putting me to bed I slept very well.  I think I did a pretty good job for my first night away from Mommy and Daddy.

Daddy Daughter Time

Last night, Mommy went out to be with her friends for the very first time ever.  So, Daddy got me ready for bed and put me to bed all by himself.  He did a great job! There was a thunderstorm that came through and it didnt even wake me up.  I could tell there was a lot of rain and wind though because there are leaves all over the ground!  
Today Im officially 12 weeks old and I cant believe it!  I can hold my head up all on my own now and sometimes when Im feeling especially strong while sitting on someone's lap, I can push myself up with my legs!  Maybe there is soccer or running in my future!

November Rain

There are multiple reasons for my distress today:


1) I realized I have not blogged in almost 10 days!


2) Its cloudy out and rain is forecasted.


3) Mommy put me back in my sleeping bag without my pj's this morning after I got up because she said she needed to get a quick bite to eat before my bath.


4) My hands are not in my mouth (I have discovered my hands for sucking in the past few days and I LOVE THEM IN MY MOUTH!)


5) Daddy's not here.  It seemed like he was here for days but now he's not here. I think he went back to work...


We have been busy with my head exercises and having fun recently.  Im starting to learn how to sleep really well at night now too.  I got to sleep about nine and didn't wake up at all this morning until 6AM!!!  I  make my parents really proud!!  And now Mommy always feeds me sitting in the rocker in my room.  Its so comfortable and calm for my meals.  Other than that Im really looking forward to Thanksgiving!  Daddy is on the phone a lot talking about it so it must be something special!

Just Like Mommy

There's a book that Mommy reads to me sometimes called Just Like Mommy.  This morning after my morning nap (which Mommy and Daddy let me wear my pjs) I had to pose for some pictures on the couch.  Apparently Mommy wanted a picture of me because she had some jammies similar to mine when she was a baby and she wanted me to be Just Like Mommy.....

My New Talent

Today I finally figured out how to grab things on my own!  Mommy would lay Mr. Lion Head in my lap and it was fun to pick him up and shake him, hug him and put his mane in my mouth!  I think I could start to get used to holding on to all sorts of things now!  It was a fun day.  Although it rained, I wasn't too grumpy, but it was very cold outside.  It was so cold I had to wear a hat when we went for a walk so I wouldn't catch cold!  Luckily I have lots of cute clothes, especially fleecy ones that will keep me warm as we head towards winter!
