Happy Thanksgiving!

This year, there are many things that I am thankful for: a house, a job, friends, and family. But I am most thankful for my fantastic husband and my wonderful son. Today I was with them, and that made it a good day.

Cameron woke up from his morning nap at 9:30am, and we hung out and played until it was time to leave for Thanksgiving at Aunt Sharon's house. We enjoyed spending the afternoon with the extended family, and didn't take off until nearly 5:30pm! Cameron was such a trooper...he had been awake since 9:30am, having skipped his afternoon nap entirely. I was super-duper impressed with how well he handled it. He was tired at the end of the day, but he was still in good spirits, laughing and playing with his truck and piano, and charming all the adults in the room.

Also, Cameron decided to take his first steps today! And he did it when everyone got a chance to see, which was a real treat. :) He has yet to stand up on his own without holding onto something, but look out, we now have an official walker!

Chomp chomp

Why is it that the crib rail tastes so good?

I'm sure glad we added that protective covering, otherwise it would be covered in tooth marks!

Dada

Dada pimped Cameron's ride. He went to the hardware store and bought new tires for the Cozy Coupe. Real tires (I think they were made for wheelbarrows?) that make pushing the car around on sidewalks much smoother and quieter.

Halloween

We went to a Halloween party at a friend's house so all the babies could hang out and show off their costumes. A good time was had by all!

Cameron's marionette costume didn't make it easy to lounge around, so we waited a little while before getting him dressed up. He thought it was interesting and fun at first...

But pretty soon after that he decided that he was tired and hungry, so we headed home. His bedtime is still on the early side, so we missed out on trick or treating, but I'm not sure if he would have enjoyed it anyway. Next year!
