Happy Thanksgiving

Mimi, Papa, and Uncle Jay came out for Thanksgiving!

Here we are getting ready to eat.  The weather was nice so we got to enjoy dinner on the porch. My friend Melissa joined us-she also cooked the turkey for us! Thank you Melissa-it was yummy!

                                               Brooks ate acorn squash! Yummy!

Super Saucer (Nov 23)

We have Brooks' activity center aka The Super Saucer sitting on our kitchen island so he can watch us-much better view on the counter than the floor.

He really likes watching the water when we do dishes-he is leaning over to get a better look

He also likes to pull the rings above his head and make the entire pan rack move. A new favorite is to keep hitting the red button over and over while Brian or I dance around. Yes, it is always the red button- I guess he likes that song the best 

More high chair fun

Brooks has decided that the spatula is his new favorite toy

A new experience being able to sit in the grocery cart instead of being carried around the store! Brooks sat up pretty well in the cart and really liked it when I pushed the cart and said "Vroom, Vroom"

High Chair (Nov 11th)

We finally found a high chair we liked and got it put together. This was Brooks' first time in his own high chair. He seems pretty happy with it.

GG Visit Nov 3-7 2011

GG was out for another visit! We had lots of fun!

 

Helping out with the laundry (sort of)

We went to Whole Foods in Boulder one afternoon. Brooks had to sit in the back of the cart while we ate lunch

After lunch at Whole Foods, Brooks crashed in the baby carrier while we continued our shopping

So much fun playing with GG 

 Brooks didn't care that GG put this wrap towel on his head. He thought it was pretty funny

                                                         Shopping at the mall

 
                                                    MMMM, I think I'll have.....
                                    Already a regular for breakfast at the Huckleberry

                                  GG trying to pack Brooks up to take back home with her

Don't even think about putting me in this suitcase & taking me back to Iowa- this is so not fun any more

Baby Owl-Nov 3 2011

GG found this hat at DIA on her way out of the terminal! I couldn't decide which picture I liked best so I put them all on here!!
