Our first Thanksgiving in Iowa - what a treat! Of course I made TOO much food...but we all loved it. Our dear friends Jaime and Bill and their kids Sawyer and Bella joined us for our feast. Here are some pictures. Hope you all had a great turkey day!
JESS the CAT! I didn't pull her tail.............................that hard!
We were eating and watching football. I can't wait until I am grown up so we can play football. Go Lions!!!
Some great new milestones to talk about! Cody has been standing! With assistance, but nonetheless, he is putting pressure on his legs and standing for a minute or so at a time. He is so proud of himself! His vocal abilities are getting better too, although not in a way we want to encourage! Aside from the screaming at the top of his lungs, he has taken to fake coughing for attention. Of course, he gets that needed attention...but that is not something we want him to continue. His teeth are still bothering him, but I think it is getting better. And he still loves his sweet potatoes.
New stats! Approx 20lbs now...almost 30 inches. We have upgraded him to a convertible car seat - no more infant seat! The little man is now going on 6 months old!
He finally caught on to all the fun! Instead of just sitting in it like a lump, Mr. Cody now jumps and plays. I dread him outgrowing this thing - it is so much fun!
Look at me! I have a fuzzy MONKEY on my head, I barely fit in my chair because I have so many clothes on, I have no more fingers to chew on and I can't feel my toes!!! I want to go back to Florida where I can run around naked!! I am done with this crazy cold place!
Well then! It seems that Cody has finally discovered the little black furry creature with no tail...AKA Jessica or as we affectionately call her, little Rat.
This is Jess,my little golden eyed japanese bobtail.
Anyway, as Cody and I were playing on the floor, Jess wandered by. Probably not a good move on her part, because Cody immediately leaned over and removed a fistful of her fur. He gazed in wonderment at it, and then he did it again. He started to pet her. And, after being the baby for so long and then thrown out with yesterday's pizza when Cody was born , Jess was happy to be petted. Even if it was from a drooly monster pulling her fur out and eating it.
Well friends, it has happened. Two little white nubs just popped through the boy's gums. He handled it pretty well, just a little whiny. I can't believe he has teeth! He keeps growing up! (now I am whining a little!) I'll try to get a picture.
