Well, Thanksgiving was great and a lot of fun. I got to see Grandma Sue and Grandpa John on their new iSight and got Uncle Jeff, Jen and Great Grandma Kate as a bonus! Scout loved visiting with Uncle Jeff. Also, as you can see by the little movie, Uncle John and Aunt Marjon came over to celebrate. I think that they were most excited about dessert (especially Aunt Marjon). Mom made homemade ice cream and an apple pie and a chocolate carmel hazelnut tart. Mom says that tart was like a cookie and candy bar combined but I don't really know what that means. I only get breast milk, cereal and fruit. Today my favorite is banana with lots of brown spots but Mom's quickie homemade apple sauce is pretty yummy too. I've only had Fuji applesauce but Mom promises me some Gala sauce soon and maybe some Red Delicious soon. I licked Daddy's Granny Smith and I'm not sure I want those yet!

The day after Thanksgiving was NOT as fun. I went to go see Dr. Jim. He said that I'm doing well which is nice. I was 15.2 pounds and 27.5 inches! Dr. Jim says that I'm tall. Mom says, "No kidding!" I am a lot longer than her top half (uh, torso?). We'll try to add a photo soon to show everyone. So, what's not fun about that? Well, I got shots too! The shots make me feel icky. I was already crabby because my teeth are trying to come through my gums and my new foods make my tummy and the rest of my digesting equipment hurt and then the shots! I had to cuddle with Mom almost all Friday and then I keep waking up screaming. Ugh. I think I'm starting to feel better but I'm really going to crawl away from the shots on my next visit. Watch out!

Nap time here. Hugs and kisses to everyone.
