Week Ten: Nov 25th - Dec 1st

Nov 25^th

Happy Thanksgiving!  We left at 6:30am to go to Aunt Cathrine and Uncle Bob’s house in NJ.  We stopped to feed you on the war, and we arrived at 10:30.  Everyone was very excited to get to meet you.  Michael and Eric were surprisingly enamored with you.  We weren’t sure how you would do overnight, but you slept well in your Pack n Play.

Nov 26^th

The drive home from NJ took a bit longer because the GPS sent us back a weird way and we also made a few stops.  We got back early enough to have a leisurely evening at home.  I had ordered the next size of prefold cloth diapers for you (your 3^rd size) and they arrived in the mail.  You’re not ready for them yet, but you will be soon.

Nov 27^th

Daddy had to work at the store today so you and Mumma had the house to ourselves.  We were at home in the morning but then did some shopping in the afternoon.  Surprisingly places weren’t as busy as expected for the weekend after Thanksgiving.

Nov 28^th

This morning Daddy raked our leaves.  We only have two small trees, but leaves from the neighbor’s trees fall in our yard.  He raked about 34 bags of leaves!  In the evening we dressed you up again in your fancy clothes (you also wore this for Thanksgiving) and we went to dinner at Daddy’s co-worker’s Leslie Chiu’s house for authentic Chinese food.

Nov 29^th

Monday was a day at home with nothing to do.  During one of your fussy periods we tried you in the swing again.  This was the third time that Mumma has tried it, and this time you seem to have liked it.  And a little on the TMI (too much information) side, but today you pooped for the first time since Friday morning.  We were starting to get worried.

Nov 30^th

They say that the third time’s the charm.  That’s how many photo shoots you had (with 119 pictures) to get the perfect shot for your birth announcements.  Other than having your picture taken, it was a pretty quiet day with trips to the pharmacy and Wal-mart.

Dec 1^st

Today was a busy day.  You visited Mimi with Mumma in the morning.  We came home for a bit and then Daddy surprised us by coming home early from work.  We set up the co-sleeper in our room- hopefully you’ll like it.  Then we went out and looked at options to have you go biking with us this spring/ summer.
