November 2007

We had a great November this year. Alex is so active--walking, running, and starting to climb--that he's really kept us on the move. Mommy and Alex continue to go to play-group every week and Alex is starting to interact with the other kids more. He's very jealous if mommy holds another baby though--he comes running and says "no-no-no" when he sees it! :) We also are taking another class at the baby gym and Alex loves to climb all over their gym and is learning lots of new songs (so is Mommy).

We enjoyed a visit from Daniel (Kevin's cousin), his wife Rochelle, and their daughter Maia. Alex wasn't too sure how to handle Maia--she's got several months on him--but they made friends by the end and it was fun to watch them around each other.

Alex had a Thanksgiving feast at his preschool and they all dressed up like Little Indians--cute. Mommy and Grandpa attended and had quite a time watching a hundred kids and their parents eat turkey. It was a very noisy room!!

We had Thanksgiving day with the Taylor's this year and enjoyed a delicious meal with lots of family around. Then we drove to Huntsville to have "Friday" Thanksgiving with the Shivers family. So much turkey, so little time. Alex does pretty good in the car since we have a DVD player for him to watch. But 4 hours of Elmo is a lot for any sane adult to handle!!
