Thanksgiving

I am so thankful for everything that God has blessed me with. I have the most wonderful husband and son....and the best family and friends. I am so lucky, yet so undeserving.

We spent the first part of Thanksgiving...lunch....at my grandparent's farm in Blue Ridge, then went to Ben's parents house for supper. We had such a great day!!

I love this man and little boy!!


My sweet daddy and Mac

My daddy was holding the goose so that Mac could pet it



Papa Ted raked leaves for Mac, Banks and Eli to play in....this was Mac's reaction:)


Banks loved the leaves!!



And, this was Ben and Mac after supper at Ben's parent's house....worn out!!!

13 months old!!

My sweet baby Mac is 13 months old today! Where in the world has the time gone? I love him more and more every day, but I just wish that the days would SLOW DOWN!!

Mac,
You amaze me everyday! You are the happiest, sweetest, and smartest baby that I have ever seen....and I've seen lots of babies:) You now have 8 teeth, and numbers 9 and 10 are on their way in. You are sleeping 12 hours most nights and you sleep so good....you never wake up during the night. You love your dada (esp. when you want to play), and you cry for mama when you are hungry or tired. You are saying TONS.OF.WORDS!! You try to say everything. I'm going to try my best to list all of the words that we have heard so far: DaDa, MaMa, PaPa, baba (bottle), light, bye bye, hey, boo, car, star, dog, eyes (you love pointing out eyes on everything:), that, this, more, moo (when I ask what a cow says), duck...cack cack, you roar when we ask you what a lion says, you can act like a monkey (you learned this from PayPa:), you can tell us also what the rooster and dog both say, you say hey, you love to blow kisses and you love giving high fives. Everyone still comments on how happy you are. I love that you are so happy....and sweet! You love going to Mimi's Japanese Steakhouse and watching the food being made...you clap when the chef does a trick:) You also clap with the studio audience on Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy....it's so precious! You are also cruising, but not walking just yet....which is fine with me:) I am so thankful for you everyday. I cannot wait to go in your room to see you every morning and I can't wait to pick you up from your sitter's in the afternoon. Thank you so much for bringing so much joy into our lives. I love you more than you will ever know!!        - Mommy
