Thanksgiving '09

This year, we decided to stay home.  It was just the four of us and we really enjoyed some sweet family time.  We also attempted Thanksgiving Dinner on our own and it turned out great.  The menu included, Hickory Smoked Turkey, Gravy, Sweet Potato Casserole, Green Bean Casserole, Stuffing, Rolls, Pinot Noir and Pumpkin Pie.  Eden and mommy made the pie the day before and she was such a big helper.  Even Lincoln had Sweet Potatoes and Turkey baby food.

Thanksgiving morning, we made pilgrim and indian hats.  Eden really enjoyed that project. We ate, took naps and then went to visit some of Abby's family in town.  We had a great day. 

 

 

 

 

 

Lincoln is 7 months and Eden is growing up

Today, Lincoln turns 7 months.  Wow, how time has flown.  Having a second child is so different from having my first.  With Eden, I was always jotting down her 'firsts', taking videos, working on her scrapbook, etc.  With Lincoln, I catch myself forgetting to do those things at times.  In fact, I haven't even started Lincoln's scrapbook.  It's as if he is developing faster and I can't keep up.

In the past month, he has learned to clap his hands, sit up by himself for more than a minute, put his paci in his mouth by himself, roll over, and tried new foods.  He is such a happy baby that even when Eden just enters the room, he cackles.  He loves it when she hugs him plays with him.  It melts my heart to see them play together.

Had to include a picture of my girl
