Happy 1st Thanksgiving!

Nelson's first Thanksgiving was a nice quiet holiday for us.  He got dressed up and even got in on the feast.  He had his first carrots - grown by his dad in the garden.  And, in tribute to Nelson's Grandpa Tom, he also got a turkey leg.  Amanda's dad used to think it was pretty funny to take a picture with a little baby and a big turkey leg, so we had to continue the tradition for him.  Also, Nelson discovered this week that he can get his toes in his mouth.  Enjoy the photos!

Thankful for Papa!

Give me that turkey leg!

Wow, you mean I actually can have it?

Yum!

A new item to gum up!

When he sucks on one foot, the other one is still kicking like crazy!

First Food and First Halloween

Our little sweet pea, Nelson, got to have his first rice cereal right at four months.  He loved it and ate it up like a champ.  A couple days later, he had his first Halloween.  He got to dress up as a Sweet Pea and a Bear.  Of course, he had no clue, but it was so cute!

Yum!

He kept trying to grab the spoon

His first Jack-o-lantern

Sweet & helpless - didn't know what the hubub was about, but so cute.

He liked to grab and try to eat the first pea

Skiing like my mommy will be fun!

Wait, I changed my mind - maybe I want to ski like my daddy...
