We have shifted from the phase of being tired as new parents from lack of sleep to being tired parents of a little boy who moves around all the time! Nothing is safe in his path. We are amazed at how mobile he has become and a little shocked at the peril that comes with it - the falls, consumption of anything on the floor, destruction of property, and attempts to unbabyproof. Yowsah. He will keep us on our toes from this day forward!

We are very much looking forward to his first Thanksgiving next week. He is sure to like turkey and all that goes with it! Gobble Gobble.
