"Who you Calling a Turkey?"

Loving Uncle Mark's Mac and Cheese!

Thanksgiving 2009

Yummy who knew that a turkey dinner would be so great?!

Well Thanksgiving came and went and Christmas is right around the corner...where does time go? Well trying to catch up here are some pictures from the big day. We got to spend lunch with my family and then it was off to dinner at Aunt Shell and Uncle Mark's! The funny part of the long weekend and being off with my boys is how off of his schedule Mr. Aiden got. I now know why people fuss over times and trying to stick to them! After a few late nights (8:30-9:00) and some waking up crying (yes we still do this) but more over the break we made it back to our "normal" routine! It was so neat to see Aiden eat his "first Thanksgiving dinner" and how he really enjoyed all that was put on his highchair. We are very blessed with a "I'll eat anything mom" eater. Don was a VERY picky eater and I had my weird it must have cheese on it to be eaten phase. Most of all Aiden is a pretty laid-back, easy going little man. That is unless he is in his "throwing" phase...as you can see with his ornament opening!

Pre-Walking to Walker!

Pre-Walking Stage...look at him use that walker toy!

Here we are with moms encouragement...we missed the quick walk from mom to blocks, see my arm behind the tower? It's hard to see but I'm there!

SMASH...that is what I love to do these days! Destroy and walk all over the house, I even figured out how to open this gate here in 2 days!

Well Halloween came and went and now Thanksgiving has done the same...needless to say a bit busy here in the Abbott Household! Well November has been a busy month of development for Aiden. We started with the 1-2 steps from the sofa and falling quite softly to the crawling position to 4-5 steps at a time in the middle of the month to walking by Thanksgiving! We had a LOT to be thankful for this year seeing our little man take his first steps. It has also been a time of reflection for Don and I as it was this week last year that we tried and were unsuccessful with our first IUI procedure. Little did we know that it wouldn't work and that Santa would deliver his own gift to us for Christmas! It is very humbling to reflect back at how badly we wanted to become a mom and dad and how since getting pregnant and becoming parents has gone by in the blink of an eye!
