Teeth and steps and turkey

So, Turkey Day is fast approaching, and lots of family is arriving shortly. With all of this holiday excitement, and an amazing growing baby, I have so much to be thankful for. I am grateful for a healthy little boy. He is trying so hard to walk, and always wants to be standing. He loves Jack's Big Music Show, and dances to the music. He is so cute!

He is also getting teeth, and I am thankful that I have never been bitten. He chews on his hands as his growing tooth itches, but he will not bite that which feeds him. He's so sweet. It's funny to me that the sound for mommy is still panting and snorting. That's how I know he wants to eat mama's milk. He also will complain if you don't respond back to him when he is talking to you. The dadas and mamas are plentiful, and hopefully he will use words soon instead of snorting at me. I feel like he's a bull getting ready to charge. But, he always has so much to say.

My husband loves this time of year, mostly for the fun things, and the buying frenzies. But, I am sure he is thankful for our little guy too. We've had some hard times, but I really think that our prayers have been answered from day 1. So, I am also grateful for 19 cent a pound turkeys too, that we are provided for. Yay for a full belly and two cute men. Life couldn't be better in our little home.

Oh, if I were so creative...

I don't know what I would do. But, if you want a little chuckle, here it is... http://norfolk.craigslist.org/fuo/926799510.html

Everyone should fry their snickers.

It's been too long since I have had a deep fried twinkie, or moonpie, or cookie dough, or snickers... but I had them all tonight! I have had enough sweets for the rest of the year. It was a great night to do it. We had people over to the house, and are watching the UFC fight. I can't wait for the Couture/Lesner fight. So, it was a great excuse to fry some yummy food, and boy was it good. So, of course we youtubed all of the old favorites while eating sweets and waiting for the fight to start. If you have too much time, you should youtube the baliwood thriller. But, I digress.
So, I was going through the photos of the week, and I got such cute 6 month pictures of the baby, I love how great he looks in them. I hope that the baseball cap makes him look more boyish. The curls will drive the girls grazy.

We also went to the zoo on Veteran's day for cousin Michael's third birthday. Malcolm could care less that there were cool animals there. He only had eyes for mama. Doesn't it make your heart melt?

I love fall, the change in the air, the leaves on the trees, the hoodies, snuggly clothes, down comforters, fun hats, and all that. So, I put Malcolm in the winter clothes bin with some toys so I could go through them, isn't he cute?

Oh, and Tim has named me the most embarrassing mom of the year. I can't help but have fun with my kid. I love to play, and so does he. Can't you tell by how happy he seems...? in spite of my embarrassing footage.

So, I can't say that I am ready for Thanksgiving, but the holiday season is fast approaching, and I love my life. 2009 Here we come! I have gotta go, the fight of the night is up, let's see how this goes, I sure hope Lesner doesn't win.

Happy Halloween!

We were puppy doggies! Malcolm was so cute at trunk or treat! I love the ears, so I had to emulate. Tim didn't want ears, so he cheated and went as a Mexican. Everyone knows he's half Mexican. You're supposed to be something different for Halloween, so I say he cheated.

So Tim and I got a decent stash for having a cute baby in a puppy suit and poor Mac put up with the slippery, can't crawl so well, doggie suit. All in all, it was a little bit of that kid excitement you get at the holidays. Thanksgiving, here we come!

Oh, and here's my Jackmove shout out. We went to a ska show after Mac went to bed 'til about 1 a.m. Aside from it being loud and in a bar, it was fun. Yeah for costumes and dancing!

American Pride

See how close we were at the rally? Be jealous.
