Our new reason to be Thankful





November started out unseasonably warm and we were able to get a few hikes in the foothills.


Our boy is really growing up, he has mastered sitting up unsupported as well as rolling over. He started skootching and moving in circles as if he was break dancing. Story time at the library continues to be fun and exhilarating as he learns to socialize with other children.


Not only is he making new friends at the library, but his friend Elliott was also able to come over and play. Elliot was born one month after Creighton, also the son of a retired derby girl.


Our variety of solid foods is increasing and Creighton has been eating A LOT more since his 6 month check up with the doctor on Nov 9Th (healthy boy, weight is 15.6 pounds and height 25 1/4 inches). He is even less picky than his father and has eaten everything we have given him, including turkey & sweet potatoes for the first time on Thanksgiving day. The only downside to his willingness to try new things is that he is not sleeping through the nights as much this month (which was a change for us since he has been since July). But we are confident that he will be back to his regular routine soon.

Although the month started out warm it soon changed as winter is quickly approaching. He saw his first snowfall in McCall on the 12Th. And has even helped his mom shovel snow at home here in Boise.


We were not able to take a walk to the park every day but with the help of our new Chariot (protector of the elements, it converts to a ski and a bike trailer as well, for future fun) which Creighton seems to enjoy, we hope to experience the colder months to come in a new perspective.


Tim is doing well. 8 weeks down and 4 weeks to go. He enjoys his weekly banjo lesson and lots of playtime with Creighton. We are so thankful we have this time together.


And the best part of this month, Aunt Stacy came to visit us for a week and Creighton absolutely adores her. While she was visiting Creighton met Santa Claus for the first time at the Festival of Trees in downtown Boise.


And here is a video of Creighton goofing around in his excersaucer on my birthday.
