11 Months & Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was a lot of fun. We trade off families each year and this year we went over to my mother-in-law's house. It was just her and her husband, Brandon's sister and her husband and their little boy, and us. We played some Wii for a little bit (Just Dance...so fun!) and then ate lots of turkey and stuffing. Brandon decided, that instead of spooning sweet potatoes into Talin's mouth, that he'd just plop it on his high chair tray. And boy was that a fun mess to clean up!

Because we spent the day at my in-law's house, Talin wasn't able to get his afternoon nap in. He zonked right out on his Grandpa's lap...so adorable!

Well, Talin is now 11 months! I seriously can't believe he is almost 1! Where did the time go??? Talin has 4 teeth now - 2 on bottom and 2 on top, and 2 more are coming in on top. His biggest accomplishment yet was that he started walking a few days after Halloween! It's now his preferred method of getting around. He loves being so mobile. Lately he loves pulling all the dvd's off our shelf and throwing them on the ground. Much like what he does with his food in the high chair now too haha. He likes to try and see what he can get away with. We put up our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving and Talin has been so intrigued with it. He tries to pull the ornaments off (no surprise there), so we have to keep a close watch on him. We also got him his big boy car seat this week. No more heavy car seat to lug around, thank goodness! He likes to be able to see me driving and see everything that's going on outside. Talin really has become a little person. He's no longer my baby! I just love him so much and I am so blessed to be his mommy!

Talin loves the camera and I think he's ready to lunge after it here.

Here Talin is showing off the ornament he pulled off the tree. My sister drove up from Sugarhouse to watch him last night while we went to the Jazz game. Talin absolutely adores her.

Showing off his ornament again!
