Well, this year I have a lot to be thankful for. Everyone is in good health - my parents are in their late 60s and continue to have a busier social life than me - and married life continues on the up and up, particularly after having our first baby. Jacob is a well adapted little man, he's laughing - at us and with us - and has sprouted two teeth and has just started learning the beginning steps of crawling and rocks on his hands and knees. He still prefers to roll from back to tummy to get where he wants to go but we'll take it because man! It's too darn cute!Jacob just celebrated his 8 month birthday, weighing in at 18 1/2 pounds and is 29 inches tall. He loves to eat! Bananas, sweet potatoes, apples, pears...really, anything that is sweet! He's eating three meals a day and I swear, the other day, he
said momma! Take that Roger!While we had planned to go to my parents' house in Napa for Thanksgiving, Jacob came down with a virus and croup and I got so sick I couldn't talk. Needless to say, it was a quiet Thanksgiving with just the three of us. I made a turkey - first ever for me! - pecan and apple pies, green beans and warmed up ham and stuffing. Topped off with bubbly and a 12 year old cab...we were in heaven! Jacob tried turkey for the first time and gobbled it up (pun intended).
Here are some pics of our Thanksgiving meal and our very own little turkey.
