other november happenings



Can't remember what we were doing
here, but it involved a frog puppet
sent to us by "meme" :)



We smiled for our losing team.

We wore our rain boots to the 
grand opening of Trader Joe's...

...where we purchased ginger cat
cookies - aka a tub of new best friends.



Still talking to his cookie.



And while our cat cookie slept
 we wore multiple John Deere
hats and danced wildly.



We giggled abundantly.

We celebrated Thanksgiving at school.

We had a very fun visit from Uncle Mr. Bojangles.

We celebrated Thanksgiving
with our family.

We were mustached.



We were held.



We got to meet new relatives, pictured here
giving us handy hair styling tips.

We ate too much turkey.

 

We sang and sang and sang.

We practiced new reading techniques.

We got rocked.

We wore our mustaches some more.

We had family sleepovers.

We let our teacher give us a funny
hairdo, which made Mommy realize it
was  probably  time for a haircut.

And then we got to start
decorating for Christmas!!

first high chair experience for jackaroo

Suddenly we realized Jack was old enough/big enough to sit in high chairs. 

(This kind of thing has happened more than once - realizing that he can do something "new" and that he probably could have done it weeks ago.  I suspect this happens for two reasons: 1) His big brother distracts us a little bit... "Mommy, is this hot?"  "I am going to plug this in."  "Something's broken."  2) We've had a taste of how quickly a baby transitions from one phase to the next and just want time to slow down a tiny bit. It's not working! :) )

big bro showed him the ropes

yuupp. i'm in a high chair.

"no more shots!" or "the bubble"
