Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. We were supposed to go up to Missy's house, which is about 2 hours away, for dinner today but my brother-in-law and my nephew got sick so we decided not to go. Brody has yet to get sick and I definitely don't want him to start now! It was unfortunate because I know that Missy went through a lot to make the day special and unfortunately we weren't there to spend it with her. So, we decided to just got to my parent's house today since they had all the fixings for a Thanksgiving dinner, as they were planning to make a turkey tomorrow for some sandwiches. Dinner was great. I always feel so sick after eating on Thanksgiving because there is so much food. I didn't really have a lot, but still felt like I ate an entire turkey. Thanks Mom and Dad for the food and the company! We enjoyed it.

Ted picked up Ethan tonight and they are planning to go hunting tomorrow and Saturday at Ted's club on the Eastern Shore. Ted had to buy him all new hunting clothes this year since the boy is growing like a weed. I can't believe how fast he is growing up and he looks even more grown up since he got glasses. To me, he looks more like his dad everyday. But, Ethan said he didn't since he didn't have black hair. I wanted to say, "neither does your father. He has more gray than black!" but figured that might be inappropriate. I always like giving Ted a hard time about his hair! :) Anyway, I think the weather is going to be pretty nice so hopefully they will have a good time.

I can't wait for the Brody's top teeth to come in. He is pretty tolerant of it, but there are definitely times that they really seem to bother him. He also took two short naps today so that may have contributed to his fussiness tonight. But, they funny thing about him is that he could be crying one minute, and then once you engage him, he starts smiling and laughing. He has definitely become more clingy, that is for sure. He would be happy if I carried him with me all day long. (Sometimes, I wish I could!) But, he has now mastered crawling, pretty much skipping the whole army crawl, and is also sitting up on his own all the time. Ted and I talked this morning about getting him some foam pads and a corral for my parent's house. That way, he can play on the floor, crawl around and watch TV, which he absolutely loves. He is infatuated with this show called Yo Gabba Gabba! It comes on Noggin and I have to say the show is pretty weird, but he loves it! He just sits there mesmerized by the TV sometime. Atleast the shows on this channel are pretty educational so I don't feel too bad letting him watch it.

This morning, I took the video below of Brody giggling up a storm at Ted. Ted was coming around the side of the bed saying "I'm going to get you!" Brody was looking for him and you can see how excited he was getting. This video makes me laugh out loud everytime I see it. If you are in a bad mood, just watch this. There is something about a baby's laughter that can brighten any day!

Anyway, I hope everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving! If you are going to risk going out with the crowd tomorrow for some shopping, God bless you and good luck! It is going to be crazy! :)
