Thanksgiving Day 2008

The day before Thanksgiving, I went to the doctor for my 3 month checkup. Everything was good, especially the fact that I'm up to 11 lb now!

Thanksgiving was a really big day for me. I went to Uncle Evan, Aunt Teri Lee and Wren's for lunch with Aunt Teri Lee's Nanny, Gin and Rick, my Grandma and Grandpa, and my Mom and Dad.

Then after a short break at home, we went to Aunt Jules' for dinner with Aunt Jules, Uncle Joe, Morgan, Clay, Mr. Keith, Ms. Peggy, Grammy and Pop Pop and my Mom and Dad.

No one would let me eat any turkey or pumpkin pie, but I had a good time anyway. Here are some pictures from the day.

My cousin, Wren, really really wanted to teach me her "Popcorn Dance".

My cousin, Morgan, getting ready to change my diaper. Now that was an adventure because she'd NEVER done it before!!

Everything turned out great!

While I enjoy getting to see Gran and Grampa James all the time (or at least once a week), I got to see Grammy and Pop Pop Durkin this weekend.

It's been a while since they've seen me and they kept talking about how much I've changed since their last visit.

We had a great visit! And they brought me a new toy elephant that Mom and Dad have started calling "MEL" because it is a "Mixed-up ELephant".

Andie's going to the doctor on Wednesday, so we'll have a new update for everyone then.

By the way, Andie reached the 10 lb mark at her last doctor's visit!!

Andie starts going to daycare on Monday.

Aaron got to spend the week with her at home while Jane went back to work for the first time since Andie was born.

Daddy and Andie got to have some fun times during the week. One of our big adventures was taking Andie to visit the daycare center before she actually starts.

Here she is trying out the blanket o' toys.

Andie and her first friend, Elizabeth.

While we spent the week together, Daddy also spent some time playing with and learning about the new camera he got for his birthday. Below is a first attempt with the video feature on the camera.

We don't have any pictures of Jane's first week back to work, but Andie and Aaron visited her today for lunch and to let Andie meet lots of people at school. Jane's week went pretty well, but she is definitely tired.

But Mommy, it's too bright to go Trick or Treating!

No Thank You, I just can't eat any more Snickers bars.

Having fun with Mommy. My first recorded smile!!
