Anthony's 1st Thanksgiving

We all traveled to Pennsylvania to spend Thanksgiving with our families. Anthony got to spend his first Thanksgiving with his grandparents and many others. He ate sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes at both Thanksgiving Dinners....yes we ate twice! Here are a bunch of pictures from our trip. Sorry I can't put all of them on here, but I will email them out as soon as I get a chance. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We'll be back in PA a little less than 3 weeks for Christmas. We'll see you then!

1st Snow

I thought the first snow that Anthony would see is in Pennsylvania, but it actually happened this morning here in Raleigh. I came downstairs around 6:15 this morning to let the dogs out and the snow was really coming down. Anthony and I had Daddy take a picture of us in the snow before we left for daycare/work. He could not stop looking at it. We never get snow this early...mostly in January and February. I think this a sign that we may actually get an accumulation of snow this year. We will see!

8 months old (one day early)

For Anthony's 8 month pictures, we took him to meet Santa for the first time. He was so curious and could not stop looking at him. I'm surprised he didn't try to pull Santa's beard since he pulls my hair and Vivian's so much.
I can't wait to see the family next week at Thanksgiving!

Anthony and Mommy's trip to Virginia

Anthony and I went to Woodbridge, Va to meet his Pappy, Grammy, and Aunt Kristen for a day at the Potomac Mills Outlets. We went out to lunch and did a little shopping. Pappy made Anthony a beautiful toy box for Christmas. We got to bring it home with us on Saturday. Thank you so much Pappy!

Anthony feeding himself puffs!

Just for fun....

Anthony's so awake first thing in the morning!

Look at me...I can hold my bottle all by myself!Nap #1

Anthony looks like a little Eskimo or something during his evening nap

Independent sitter

Anthony's growing up too fast. He's been sitting independently for a little while now, but today is the first time we took a picture of him sitting on the floor playing. We still have to stay close because he will wobble and fall over. He's getting to be a big boy already.
