10 months!

Yup-the little booger is now ten months old...doesn't seem like he should be. We have started sleep-training and he gets an hour nap every day and now we are sleeping more at night! We are still getting up once a night for a bottle but its better than him getting up 3-4 times to eat plus having 4:30 as him wake up time! He's weighing about 23-25 pounds now, has to be about 33 inches long and has almost grown completely out of 12 month clothing! He is very busy trying to walk and uses his walker daily now! He's turning it and almost making a run for it! We have 5 teeth and currently working on 6-8. He has fallen in love with Chicken, pork chops and hamburgers so he's gonna be a huge meat eater- but he still loves his chicken nuggets and french fries from Aunt Rachel when we go to visit her at work:)

The Thanksgiving Aftermath

Well, we made it- I feel like I have gained 10 pounds and while I am on a diet- that isn't very good...LOL... WE had a GREAT Thanksgiving! On the actual day, Jerry had to work, but Logan and I went to mom's and watched the parade- he was clapping when Po(kung fu panda) came on...then came in Jon and JR and then JR would clap and be excited when his favorite characters came on...I complained because all the singers were singing their songs and not a Christmas song( something I remember them doing when I was a little kid) well, when lunch was served Logan had passed out so I actually got to eat! Naw- he fought a nap until he couldn't fight no more and slept for 3 hours! We went home and got Jerry ready for work and then headed back to moms so Logan could eat- and eat he did! I think it was 5 plates of turkey and zipper peas! plus some chocolate cake. Go to next day which is Black Friday- no we didn't shop but I took on the idea of making dinner for everyone at my house- got up and stuck the turkey in the oven, made green bean casserole, mac and cheese, creamed corn, had 2 pies(cookies and cream and pecan) mom made jerrys cornbread stuffing with gravy and I had rolls. It was a good meal! everyone fit at the table and I think the headcount turn up to be 9? We had Jerry, Me and Logan, Granny(jerry) mom and dad, Jake and Emily and Rachel. Most went back for seconds and Jake actually ate some turkey which I think was out of kindness because he HATES turkey! Today we are just relaxing, Logan's napping and Jerry is playing video games- I am recuperating after eating like a fat kid for the past two days....not good when you've been trying to diet. Later we are going to Moms house to watch two MAJOR football games- Alabama/Auburn and Florida Gators (my team) versus the Florida State Team (Jerry's family team!) We shall see!!!!!

Pre-Thanksgiving....and the trees already up

we have 3 days left before Thanksgiving....and our Christmas tree got put up yesterday! I swear, Jerry has changed A LOT since Logan was born. Last year, he couldn't have cared less about the tree and now this year, I was told to put it up BEFORE Thanksgiving! The tree is decorated and my little Christmas village is up on the counter. I get my nativity scene on Wednesday and then that will be set up. I have window clings, door wreath, lights to go outside(surprisingly allowed in apt complex!) and Logans first stocking is HUNG!!!! Thanksgiving, we are tackling a new thing as well....I am cooking my first Thanksgiving dinner. It will be on Friday because we found out Jerry is working on Thanksgiving....We are having Mom, Dad and Granny come (as well as Jake and Emily if they want.) and we are having dinner here. I'm a little nervous because I have NEVER made a turkey before but I am excited to start our family traditions. It's Logan's first EVERYTHING, so we are really outdoing ourselves to make this really special! And so far I am exhausted...but I cannot wait to see his face on Christmas- I know that he won't really know what will be going on but I am so happy!
