Thanksgiving




Quin is most thankful for the cookie that I let him have for the first time yesterday. He just loves food! In the morning, we had Auntie Rachael, Ashley, Opa, and Pam over for breakfast. He chewed happily on a bagel for a while. Then we went to cousin Chrissie's house for dinner with Grammy, Ashley, Auntie Lissa, Auntie Rachael, Uncle Bobby, Nana, Aunt Ann, and lots of other Aunts, Uncles, and cousins. I mashed up some turkey with gravy, stuffing, and squash and Quin had his own little feast. Afterwards we all went to Aunt Gigi's for dessert and got to visit with even more Aunts, Uncles, and cousins! Baby Olivia and Baby Nathan were there, too. They seem so tiny compared to my little monster! We had a late night visiting with family and then we came home and had a tough night of teething and NOT sleeping! He's up every 2-3 hours on a regular night but last night he was up more like every 45 minutes. When we got up for good this morning I noticed a new tooth had popped through overnight...and another starting to come through! That makes 5 teeth. It's like breastfeeding a piranha! Anyway, today we are being lazy and trying to catch up on housework. Well, catching up on blogging and then catching up on housework..I promise! Poor Joe will have no socks to wear if the laundry fairy doesn't come by today :) The pictures today are from Grammy who, unlike mommy, remembered her camera and then emailed me the pictures before even Uncle Bobby. I'm very impressed, Mom! I'm sure when I get pics from Uncle Bob I'll post them for all to enjoy. He was quite the entertainer at dinner!
