1st Thanksgiving & 5 months

Croix turned 5 months on November 22, 2012! (I wrote this post way back when and never posted). What an amazing 5 months it has been. Despite less sleep, I have really enjoyed watching my boy grow.  It is fascinating watching him learn and his curiosity. He is definitely not a newborn anymore. 

• He "talks" so much more
• He laughs a lot more now too!
• He is much stronger
• Almost sitting up on his own
• He gets very distracted when he is eating
• Wants to grab anything you have in your hands :)
• He has slept through the night a couple times, but mostly wakes up once a night and then up between 530-6am every morning
• His usual bedtime is between 830-9pm
• He still loves looking in the mirror
• He loves dancing around with daddy
• He eats formula now (one bottle a day)

Not only was it Croix's first Thanksgiving, he met his Uncle Mo (Godfather) and Aunt MaryBeth.  They were in town from Florida!  He loved them and they even bough him a huge stuffed Lotso from ToyStory 3.  He loves it:) We got a huge smile and laugh out of him.  Uncle Mo took him on a walk around the neighborhood and held him a lot.  We then went over to my Aunt Deb (Godmother) and Uncle Paul's for Thanksgiving.  It was such a nice time with family and yummy food.
Chaz cooked his famous Turkey and MaryBeth made her stuffing and gravy. Mom made her stuffing and brought snacks, while Deb and Paul made many appetizers, potatoes, green bean casserole and more!

Uncle Mo & MaryBeth are moving to Chicago beginning of December. We are so excited to have them closer!

We have so much to be thankful for this year!
