More Thanksgiving Pictures

Here are some more pictures from Thanksgiving from my real camera. Enjoy!

This is how Fisher prefers to smile these days-he looks up and says "cheese" :)


my pretty sister

with our cousin Callie


Fisher loves his Pepaw. I'm so thankful that my boys have a great relationship with their great grandparents!

attempting to take a picture of these three




almost all of the great grandchildren. this was hysterical attempting to get them to all look at the camera. It didn't work out so well.

the big boys were much more interested in whatever else was going on than in taking a picture.




actually a decent family picture! it's a true miracle.

Sullivan is 9 Months Old!










* Sullivan weighs about 18 pounds, 6 oz, is 27 inches long, and has a head circumference of 17.5 inches (25th percentile).
* He wears size 6-9/6-12 month clothes, and he wears one-size cloth diapers (size 3 in disposables)
*He is crawling everywhere! He will either crawl in the traditional sense, or he will drag one leg behind him, just like Fisher did.
*He is pulling up on everything and has learned to climb the stairs, although he's never gone higher that the first step.
*He loves to hold onto things and puts everything in his mouth!
 * He nurses every 2-3 hours. When he takes a bottle, he'll drink 4-5 ounces.
*New foods include black beans, ham, turkey, chicken. Really, he eats whatever we're having, and he loves it all!
*He will occasionally drink water out of a sippy cup, but only if someone holds it up to his mouth. Otherwise, he just chews on it.
*He loves taking baths! He is constantly splashing in the water!!
*He is definitely a momma's boy! He hates it when I leave the room, and he usually wants me over anyone else.
* Sleep: not doing so well in this department! He is still a terrible sleeper. He wakes up every 2-4 hours. He's started to transition to one longer nap of around 2 hours, which is nice for me because now both boys nap at the same time!
*He loves to sleep on his stomach or side. As soon as I lay him down, he flips over.
*He has four teeth (2 on top and 2 on bottom) and is working on getting two more top teeth in.
*He smiles and talks all the time-he is the happiest baby! He loves to laugh and giggle.
*He is ticklish. Anytime I poke him in his armpits or on his tummy, he laughs.
*His eyes are constantly changing color-they will be blue/gray, then hazel depending on lighting and his outfit.
*He is a chatterbox! He talks all of the time. He will say "dadada", but not in reference to Daddy. :)
* He is loved by his big brother, and the feeling is mutual. Sullivan lights up and just grins when Fisher is around. They sit across from each other at the dinner table, and Sullivan is constantly smiling and talking to Fisher. The first thing Fisher does in the morning is run to Sullivan and give him a hug and a kiss.
* Nicknames: Sully, Brother, Bug, Brother Bear

Thanksgiving 2013

I'll do another post with pictures from my real camera, but for now you'll just get the iPhone version. :) we celebrated thanksgiving with 47 people at my grandparents house! Only a few people were missing. We had good food and even better company. I'm so thankful to call these people mine!
The boys before we left our house.
