Long Time, No See...Many Changes!

It has been a bit hectic lately.

Thanksgiving was a fun and busy week.  We hosted Thanksgiving for the first time with Neil's parents and with his brother, new wife and her father.  It turns out we moved to the town that she is originally from, so we get to see them quite a bit when they come to visit us and her family.  We also lucked out that she is an amazing cook and took over the majority of the heavy cooking. It was so busy, that I never put Declan in his cute, grown-up clothes or even got a picture of his first Thanksgiving.  I think Neil got a picture on his phone.

This was a very busy week - every day we had a Declan-event.  Monday was Declan's 9-month doctor appointment (I love asking questions, but hate the shots...Declan hates the shots too). Tuesday was the last day of Wee Ones library until January and then our mommy group meet up at the book store later in the day. Wednesday, I took Declan to My Gym for the first time.  The timing was bad and he didn't really enjoy it, but I plan to bring him back and I hope he can have a good experience next time.  Thursday was my favorite activity of the week - Kindermusik. We both love it and I already signed him up for the next session.  And today, we had a play date at our home. Next week, I am throwing a Mommy and Baby Christmas Cookie Swap Party.  I must be nuts!  Not sure how I am going to pull it off.  Eek!

Declan is also doing so many new things!  Pulling himself up to standing, clapping, waving, eating finger foods...it goes on and on.  And he has his bottom teeth coming in! I will try and post pics and videos later.  We are in big trouble because I just saw him pull himself up on the stairs and climb a step today.  ARGH.
