Today is your first Thanksgiving! Last night you were up every single hour on the hour! I think your teeth are starting to hurt, and you for sure have another stinking cold! I started the first sentence of this post early this morning when you were strapped to my chest in your carrier and we were prepping the turkey! Now, it is after 8pm and you are sleeping in your carrier next to daddy watching a movie on the couch, and me typing on the ottoman in the living room. Thanksgiving is almost over! We started the day early with you getting up at 22 after each hour after midnight! I would simply have to get up off the couch (we fell asleep on the couch last night) and head up the stairs and basically sit in the chair that rocks, and you would be back out. Thank goodness...the last time you had a difficult time sleeping was one of the nights you, daddy and I all slept at G&G H's house. That night you just wouldn't go to sleep at all...and you had a cold then too, now that I think about it! I hope tonight is not the same...however, if it is, I will just get up and go shopping!!! Anyway, so today we fixed the turkey, you ate breakfast and then took a nap while the turkey baked and we watched the Thanksgiving parade! You fell asleep before Santa came by. After that, we went to G& G H's for lunch. It was really nice and fun. You were a little cranky, but again, I think it was because of your teeth and the cold. We ate with Jack and Shirley, Grandpa Smith, Auntie Blair and Uncle Shane, Cole, and of course G&G H. ( You keep talking in your sleep right now...it is really strange...but super cute). For your first Thanksgiving lunch, you had turkey dinner and veggies baby food dinner, peas, and some of our gravy and potatoes...really mostly gravy b/c the potatoes I gave you gagged you, they were still too thick for you this year! AND I did really get a good feel of the little tooth coming in on the bottom floor today!!! After dinner, we hung out and decorated the tree. Around 5 we headed to Eldo for dinner with daddy's family. By the time we got there, you were really tired, hungry, and your teeth and cold were making you really fussy. We ate and visited with everyone, including daddy's grandma Helen. We were all tired, and you were starting to cry with real tears, so we headed home. You fell asleep in the car, basically b/f we left Eldo.
Tomorrow we are going to go to swim team practice from 7-8 and then go shopping with G&G H. Daddy has to work...so he won't be joining us.
So that was your first Thanksgiving...it was so much more fun for daddy and I than it was b/f we had you! But you pretty much make everything better :)
