Thanksgiving

We had a quiet and enjoyable Thanksgiving. Austin has been using new words every day now and, appropriately enough, his new word on Thanksgiving was "thank you". It sounds more like "to-to" but he tries!

Austin's "IT"

Sean and I took Austin to dinner at Chick-Fil-A so he could play in the play area. When we took him in the play area, there were five other kids in there between the ages of 4 and 8 and they were playing tag. Somehow "the baby" (Austin) became "it". All the kids were running from him! They would get close to him, then run and scream "the baby is coming". He thought it was hilarious. Of course, he has no concept of what being "it" means and did not run after them, but he sure found the older kids entertaining. It was so funny to watch!

This Halloween was the first holiday that our little man really has enjoyed. We had such a great time! His grammie (Sean's mom) dressed him as an elephant and she and my mom took him trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. When they were done, he helped us hand out candy in the driveway. He was so funny because he loved putting pieces of candy in the bags and wanted to give them more as they walked away. Here are some pictures of our elephant!
