The tree is up ...

I wanted to ensure we got to enjoy our Christmas decorations as long as possible ... so the tree and all other decorations went up this weekend ... I'm so happy that we have such a beautiful home to decorate ...

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We celebrated David's first Thanksgiving with the Zachary's, Auntie Joyce, Jim/Tami and the girls (Lily and Ruby) and Keving/Noelani and Ian. As usual ... the food was delicious and plentiful. So much to be thankful for this past year!!

Solids ... mmmmmmmmmmmmm

David had his first attempt at solids and he did fairly well!! He spit out less than I thought he would and although he kept trying to eat his hands at the end ... he really seemed to enjoy it. A few times reaching for the spoon itself as well as leaning in for the spoon!!! I wasn't sure if he'd be able to swallow all that well at first since that is actually a "learned" reaction to food. But I'm so proud ... he really ate it!! He sure loved the pears (that I made) ... thanks Jaime for the suggestion to start with pears first. :)

Go BUFFS!!!

Sadly Coach Hawkins continued to show that he just couldn't run the show at CU. He was fired and Assistant Coach Cabral is leading the way for the rest of the season ... David was ready and rootin' on Cabral and the Buffs ... and they WON!!!!

And we're rolling ...

It's official ... David is R O L L I N G!!! From back to front but not front to back yet. No matter what ... if you lie him on his back ... he will roll. Even if as soon as he gets to his stomach ... he gets upset and cries. It's all about the movement ... he's so happy that he can get a new view. I guess we're really in for it now ... this is the only beginning of "movement".

David's First Halloween

We had just gotten David all situated in the carrier on Mike when the doorbell rang for trick or treaters. Mike excitedly went downstairs to answer the door with David in tow. Mike held the bowl of candy in his left hand whilst his left arm was wrapped in front of David to ensure he was secure there. Mike used his right hand to pass out candy. I came down the stairs to see the cute little trick or treater that replied "I'm Adam" when Mike asked who he was for Halloween. Of course he was only 4 so he said HIS name instead of who was for halloween. Lol!! They all looked so cute and their parents were so proud. Mike closed the door and when I turned to look at him I noticed something hilarious ... David had snatched a bag of Skittles out of the bowl when Mike was handing out candy!!!! He then proceeded to try to EAT it. He brought it up to his mouth but the flap of the "drool catcher" on the carrier got in his way so his hand went under it and he bit down on the flap!!! It was too cute ... maybe he's ready for food?
