Thanksgiving

We started off celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday with Noah preforming as an indian named “Flying Fish” at his school.

After his program, he got to leave school early and spend the rest of the day with his Mommy! When I asked him what he wanted to do, he said he wanted to go to the place with the purple umbrellas. Yogurt Mountain it is!

And I also never got around to taking Cason’s 11 month picture so here is a picture of him around that time. Also the day he discovered his love for waffles!

Please excuse the mess. I DID however write Cason’s 11 month post when he turned 11 months and just saved it until I could take his picture. Since that never happened, here is what I wrote…

Yes, I agree that I am a horrible mother for not having a 10 month post! We could never remember or make time to take the pictures! Bad bad bad!

So we need a large recap this month!

Oh my sweet Cason. Do you know how much I LOVE you??

-Size 4 Pampers Swaddlers

-Wearing 12 month clothing mostly. He can sometimes squeeze into a 9 month outfit and sometimes a 12-18 month outfit. Just depends on the brand.

-I have NO idea what he weighs. I guess we will find out at his one year check up (SAD)

-He got his first (and second) haircut! He loves having his hair cut and sits so still!

-NO TEETH! I’m starting to wonder if he will ever get any!

-Just because you have no teeth doesn’t mean you can’t eat though! He still loves food. All the food. He will basically eat anything you give him. Right now, he enjoys a waffle or oatmeal for breakfast, and chicken nuggets/grilled cheese/yogurt for lunch and dinner. Or I’ll give him some of whatever I’ve cooked for the night. Some of his other favorites are rice and beans, bowtie lasagna, green beans, and watermelon.

-He is a professional stander these days. And by his birthday, I’m sure he will be walking with ease. He’s taken as many as 12 steps without falling! He is working so hard at it. You can see the determination on his face!

-He is sleeping like a champ. He gets a bottle when he starts getting fussy at night, usually around 7pm, and when he’s done, we put him in his bed and he goes to sleep. He usually wakes up around 5am-5:30am. Sometimes he will sleep in until 6am on the weekends.

-He still loves his Mommy! His favorite thing to do is crawl all over me, hold me down and give me sugar!

-Cason loves to play with Noah, as usual, but lately he’s been loving playing with Bella! We are working on learning how to be easy with her and petting her instead of pulling her hairbows and trying to ride her! Ha!

-As far as his vocabulary, he says da-da, Daddy, beh (Bella), da-doo (I have no idea what that means, but he says it all the time) and I think that’s about it. No ma-ma!

-He will clap when you say “Yay” or when you say “Pat-a-cake” and he will wave bye-bye on command!

Ok, now back to Thanksgiving. Are you lost yet?

Next, we got to go to my nephew’s Thanksgiving feast at school.

And theeeeeennnn, my sweet little baby boy started WALKING!!! I have tried and tried to figure out how to post a Youtube video on Live Writer and for the life of me, I can’t figure it out. Maybe one day!

So we celebrated Thanksgiving Day with both sides of our families and as always, I forgot to take ANY pictures of it.

But Thanksgiving night, I did something I’ve NEVER done before. Black Friday shopping! By husband is a professional at this sport so it was fun to tag along with him. We sat outside Target in the FREEZING cold for over an hour but I enjoyed getting to spend some time alone with my hunny! And by alone, I mean sitting in line with 400 other people.

 

So there’s our Thanksgiving!
