Thanksgiving Tour

It was a whirlwind tour to visit all the Grandparents during the week of Thanksgiving. Ethan was a trooper with traveling, despite the cold he had all week (and still has). We took him to the doctor for a second time this morning actually, because he's had a horrible cough that keeps him up for hours at a time at night (I was paranoid he had bronchitis - turns out that they allow kids to have colds for 2-3 weeks before they'll do anything!!!). But, usually he was his happy-go-lucky self during the daytime.

Ethan and I went to visit my Mom at work and stayed for dinner on Monday evening. Here he is, dancing with Uncle Adam and giving Grandma a big smile..

Giving Mom a big smile..We went to the Rochford side the night before Thanksgiving. Ethan is dressed very 'GQ' for the day with a spiffy sweater. Here he is, chatting with Uncle Patrick during dinner

Last, but definitely not least, was our visit to the Hickman side on Thanksgiving day. We were lucky enough to celebrate with the Great Grandparents as well. Sorry, I didn't get any pictures of the day, but that's probably because we were having so much fun! We thank everyone who hosted us this week and made us yummy food! We look forward to hosting Christmas at our place!!

We took the opportunity to decorate the house for Christmas since the day after Thanksgiving was warm. Dave did a GREAT job decorating outside and Ethan helped him put up the candy cand lighting around our inside post (he had trouble parting with the pretty lights)...I taught him to say "pretty". :)

And most importantly, on a daily basis Ethan is becoming more and more confident at trying to walk on his own. At this rate, I can bet he will be walking pretty well by Christmas!
