On the go!

Hey to my peeps! How is that? Do you like that opening? Graham has his standard "Hey Graham Fans", but I just have been able to think of one. Let me know if you have suggestions.

I experienced my first Thanksgiving! I visited Nanny's house and Uncle Brad and Aunt Lisa's house for the first time. We were on the go! It wore me out!

We also went to Andrew and Nicole's house, visited Nan's new apartment and went out to eat. I have a lot to be thankful for, but with all that running around, I was thankful we had Mommy's car! We were at Nanny's house while she was working on her Christmas decorations. Somehow I ended up as a decorations.

I have been on the move myself - literally! I roll over a couple of times, then kind of scoot, then go in another direction. I don't necessarily get where I want to go:
Somehow I ended up under the train table. Graham tried to get me out from under the table. Mommy had to intervene.The Christmas tree is a big draw for me. Mommy doesn't leave me under there for too long. I am so close to crawling, I just can't quite get everything moving in right sequence. I can move the legs and my arms, but not yet at the same time.

I also like to pull myself up. Mommy tries to get me to sit and I will refuse to bend. Why sit if I can stand.

Speaking of Graham, I am sure you can imagine Mommy has to protect me quite often. That kid seems to think my head is too tempting not to swat. My hands like to grab things particularly hair. I have gotten Graham's hair a few times - he's got it coming if you know what I mean.

We are still working on new mushed up foods. I really like ones that are sweet - sweet potatoes, squash, pears, peaches, apples, you get the picture.
Overall life is good for me. I like to go to music class and watch the other kids. We go to the Y and their are other babies my age. It is nice to connect with them. No one at home really gets it when I do have troubles. They just really get how frustrating it is when you cry or fuss and Mommy can't figure out why. They know how tough teething is. It is just really a great support group for me.

Well I hear that Christmas is coming so we will see what that is all about. I have heard about some guy with a bowl full of jelly like belly coming down the chimney. Gotta admit I am skeptical, but hopeful!
