Thanksgiving

We had Jon David's first Thanksgiving in San Antonio this year. My sister-in-law Evelyn and I did our first turkey and thank God, it turned out great. The family has officially hired us for the job from now on! We had such a good time hanging out with our family and Jon David couldn't get enough of everyone. He loves all of the attention. It is always interesting to see how he changes when we get home. Every time we have gone to SA, JD comes home with new skills. I think his cousin Ella has a great influence on him! Jon has taught him to "high 5" and when he is in the mood, he will happily raise his hand for one. Also, now he likes to sleep on his stomach with a blanket over his head. He is perfectly comfortable and sleeps well. I, on the other hand, cannot say the same. Even with the video monitor, I still go in and check on him many, many times through the night. My friends with 2+ kids assure me someday I will sleep again. I doubt it!


We have so much to be thankful for this year and we are looking forward to Jon David's first Christmas! He already loves Santa and Christmas carols. I leave his radio on the holiday station and he thinks my singing is great! (ok, maybe not great, but certainly amusing)
