Jack celebrated his first Thanksgiving! Jay and I were the most thankful that we have ever been on that day. Everyday I think how lucky and blessed we are to have been given this wonderful bouncing baby boy! He has grabbed a hold of our hearts with both hands and we won't ever be the same again...nor would we want to be.
We went back to South Dakota the Tuesday before Thanksgiving...my birthday. We decided that morning to go and surprise my parents, so we called from their driveway and told them to come and give Jack a kiss. To say that they were surprised would be an understatement! We had two Thanksgivings and a day of shopping and Jack was a great traveler again...his favorite part is when we stop for a break, we let him get out of the car seat and play with the steering wheel. He loves it!
Jack did get to try a new food at Thanksgiving dinner...Papa introduced Jack to Great-Grandma's whipped cream. Jack loved it and would yell for more. I was less than thrilled, but it was cute to see Jack so excited.
Jack had his photo taken with Santa this week and it went pretty well. He didn't cry, but he wouldn't take his eyes off Santa, so we don't have any pictures with Jack looking at the camera.
In other Jack news, he is almost crawling. He moves a few inches, but hasn't quite figured out how to do it in a pattern. We figure that the Christmas tree is a wonderful incentive and that he will be cruising before the weekend is over. He has learned how to sit himself up from laying on his belly...this is a wonderful new trick because it frees up a good portion of my day!
To keep the chain alive, I am tagging Kyra. (I know the rules state 4, I just don't know enough bloggers!)
