We had a great Thanksgiving weekend! The meal was great (I included a lovely picture of the fixings, the 24# turkey is carved under the towel, and table settings, Barry did the napkins)! While Steve and Cindy were here they helped Barry finish our basement flooring. It is so great to have gone from cheap stained carpet to pergo-type flooring! After this weekend (as I'm sure Steve and Cindy would agree and my mom has probably been thinking for months) I have realized just how busy Brody is....he's just exhausting to watch. He stands up then sits down, then back up again, walk along the wall a bit, back down again, crawl some, turn to make sure we're watching him, crawl some more. Exhausting!
After some clever thinking, we determined that we could put up a tree this year even with Mr. Trouble Finder around. At the end of the weekend we put up our Christmas tree that came fresh cut from Ely. Brody digs the lights. Barry got him the Santa hat! I'm excited for him to have his first Christmas.
Milestones for this week include Brody investigating and finding just which cupboards do not have child latches on them, discovering how fun it is to open the toilet seat, figuring out how to pull out all of the safety things from the outlets, pushing all of the equipment out of the TV stand, etc. Oh yeah, the real milestones include saying "buh-bye" "ball" and "up." He also stands for a few seconds on his own and my dad is convinced he'll be walking by December 9th (seriously, he made me mark it on the calendar).
