Black Friday

Grandma and mommy tried to jump start the economy by going down the outlets in Rehobeth for Black Friday. Henrik tagged along, but became bored like a typical male. He slept through most of the shopping excursion.

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving up at the Mr. and Mrs. S's house. As usual, we had a great time. Of course, there was the usual kids' table, but now we have the kids' kids' table. The girl though it was great to have a chair that was her size. Unfortunately, she filled up on grapes and crackers before we sat down to eat so she wasn't very hungry. Mommy was thankful that the boy managed to sleep through the feast.

The girl loves to sing two songs in particular, "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and "A B C". In case you didn't know, the two songs use the same tune.

Here is the girl's version of "Twinkle, Twinkle A B C".

Pounds

Last night, I finally found our scale. I'm not sure if this was such a good thing. While it looked liked the boy gaining weight, I did not like my number. I have decided to get my butt in gear and start eating better. It ought to be interesting to see how I do through not one but two Thanksgiving dinners.

The boy is doing really well with his weight. At his one month appointment, the boy weighed in at 9 pounds 15 ounces. This is such a relief to mommy after all she went through with the girl. The only downside to the boy chowing down so much, he gulps a lot air and gets gassy.

Yesterday, the girl and mommy made blueberry muffins. The girl has learned that the dough tastes just as good as the finished cooked product. She especially liked licking the spatula and the bowl.
