Happy Thanksgiving!
Well, it went by all too quickly, but our Thanksgiving in Orlando was wonderful. It was nice to get away from the big city and enjoy some quiet time in the suburbs with family. Nathan was a terror on the flight down...sitting still is not his m.o., but enjoyed all the open space at Grandma and Grandpa's house to crawl around. Their low profile furniture was perfect for him to pull up on as well. Aside from a few bruises on his head from falling and crashing into things, we made it through the holiday unscathed. Nathan even enjoyed a real adult dinner on Thanksgiving with turkey and mashed potatoes! He loved sitting in his "big boy" booster seat at the table with everyone and was on his best behavior.
Mommy and Daddy, meanwhile, went on their first date in almost 8 months! This occurred the evening that Nathan got a real knot on his head trying to lunge out of his bathtub (of course), but we were still able to enjoy some time with Maryanne and Brian at dinner and even saw a movie. We also got to play tennis, so it was nice to have Babysitter/Grandma Geri around so that we could take a break.
The latest from the little man is a FIFTH tooth up top, more crawling to get what he wants (particularly interested in computers and remote controls), eating finger foods with his fingers (the pincer grip is coming along great), pulling up and standing on everything, and new vocalisms (we call them shouting) like "AAA." He is so happy these days...I think because he is a little bit more "independent." Not a cuddler this one, but I think he is just so cute, it doesn't matter. We are off to the doctor for the fifth time today about his ears - I am afraid he has inherited the Evans' ear problems. Hopefully he will not have to have tubes to drain the fluid that seems to want to linger there. Otherwise, all is well in Nathan-land. 8 months this Friday and off to his first Army-Navy game!
Nathan finally meets Mark Kessler! Without him, Nathan essentially wouldn't be here, given that Mark introduced his mom and dad.
An Evans Family Thanksgiving! (Mom-Mom couldn't wait to eat her cookie)
Playing with passion.....
