Thanksgiving 2008

All the cousins come to Memphis on Thanksgiving and this is basically the one time per year we see some of them. Abigail sat at the boys table with Jimmy, John and Dylan. Mady, Ally, and Katy sat together at the other table.

Abigail ate a great lunch since she had been on an eating strike for the two days before Thanksgiving.

Group picture with four grandkids this year!

Day before Thanksgiving

We had a little photo session the day before Thanksgiving. Just trying to get some pictures of the two of them both smiling. Henry smiles a lot it is just hard to get him to smile and take the picture at the same time.

Playing under the floor gym together.

Always has liked the changing table.

Thanksgiving Feast

Abigail had her feast at school the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Luckily she had an Indian dress to wear for the day and her hair looked cute braided but by the time I picked her up at 12:00 she had taken it all down. The parents didn't go to the feast so I didn't see what they ate but Abigail took the turkey and told me that everyone ate it!

Just because he's cute!

Henry is really starting to respond to everything and watch you. I think he is even crying when I walk away from him because he wants to be talked to. I haven't decided about his hair yet. It looks red in pictures but not so much in person. It is definitely not as dark as Abigail's.

His hair is falling out on top like Abigail's did. Matthew says his head looks like a horseshoe. He still has hair on the sides, just not on top.

Abigail's performance

This was so funny. First of all she is wearing her "dress ups" that we bought after Halloween at Cracher Barrel on clearance. She wears them non-stop but this day she decided to sing and play the piano for a concert. She was singing Twinkle, Twinkle and even did it again after I went to get my camera. I really wish I had taped it. I am sure it will happen again.

I can't figure out how to change the order of the pictures and no matter how hard I try they always download different than I selected them. Anyway, I took this as we were leaving to get our picture made at church for the directory. They looked so cute all dressed up and both of them have yet to go to church at the same time so I haven't taken a picture with them both dressed up.

More performance!

Two month checkup

This was Henry Tuesday night(11-11-08) after the appointment. He was pooped!

He did get shots but this picture was taken before the doctor even came in the room. I guess he was tired of waiting.

He is growing so fast. 2 month stats: 14 lbs 11oz

height-23 1/2

He did great with the shots. He cried for less than a minute and we were done. He doesn't seem to have fever of feel bad either.

Henry is 2 months old

Henry is two months old and growing like crazy. The last time at the Dr. he weighed 11 pounds and that was a few weeks ago. We go soon for the 2 month visit and first group of shots. He lost his hair on top just like Abigail did and he is eating us out of house and home. He is drinking 6 ounces every 3 hours and sleeping a little longer at night. Two nights ago he slept til 7:00am but the next night he was up at 3:15, earlier than usual so who knows. He still doesn't enjoy riding in the car or carseat for that matter so that makes going places challenging . I usually just carry him in the stores whick makes shopping hard. I guess I am going to have to break down and become one of those babywearers with the slings. Abigail asked me the other day when I was going to take her back to the mall. It was sort of pitiful, but she isn't used to staying home all the time. I am glad she gets to go to preschool to get out of the house.

He if starting to look around a lot and smile and coo when you talk to him. He loves to eat, take a bath and be talked too.

Gotta love those cheeks!
