first thanksgiving and more

oops! i have really slacked off this month in posting. a lot has happened the past 3 weeks, most notably thanksgiving. we went to my aunt & uncle's house as usual and played our backyard football game and ross and i attended the aggie game while my mom (and some helpers!) watched miles. miles was very interested to see everyone, so excited he hardly slept the whole time we were there. i was fading in and out of sleep after a 1am feeding only to realize it was 2.30am and miles was still having a party in his pack n play with his stuffed bear. he and i both took a four hour nap when we got home on friday and he continued to catch up on his sleep on saturday once we were back at our house and things were less exciting/interesting!

miles has also been struggling with a cold for the past 2 weeks which has been quite frustrating. he is currently taking antibiotics for a possible sinus infection so hopefully it will kick in during the next few days and we can all return to a happier, more restful state.

he is getting closer and closer to sitting. the other day he sat up with a straight back for 15 seconds unassisted. usually though he just folds himself in half to eat a toy or his toes, it is too funny, he is very flexible! he has much more interesting things to do than sit up. when we go out i always put him in a highchair or cart and he is happy to do so for a few minutes, but then wants to get out after about 5 min. last night we went out to dinner and after his stint in the high chair, he sat with me and was quite content to crinkle a package of crackers and drink sips of water from the end of a straw.

i will try to do a better job of keeping you updated during the upcoming weeks!
