Turkey Stories Part 1

Watching the trains wtih Daddy

Rolling around with Sarah

Watching the trains with Uncle B and Cousin T

We are just SO handsome- I think the paparazzi were at our Thanksgiving

There was a camera in our faces at all times.

Words

Chatham said MAMA!!!!! He's been saying DaDa for about a month now, and Saturday night he said MaMa (twice) and we had company over so I have witnesses!!!
He also says "Ut" which of course you know means "Up"!

His two teeth are halfway up and he is just as funny as ever. I think he's going to be a very creative boy and play a lot of make believe. He already will sit on the floor with no toys around him and move his hands as if something is there and he'll just LAUGH!!!!!

Well other than that we didn't have a lot to report this weekend- we were supposed to get our Christmas pictures taken but the photographer stood us up. So we're having them done the 5th now with Ashley (she did my maternity pictures). I can't wait!!!

What do you mean it's not FRIDAY YET......

I was blog browsing today and stumbled upon My Little Life and she uses McLinky for some Friday Fun.....

I know, I know it's not Friday- so yes you'll see this little intro again tomorrow when she posts this weeks questions, but this is my kind of stuff- the first question is about Thanksgiving and while I've already bombarded you with Christmas Chatter; I wanted to take a break and think about Mr. Turkey for a week or so....

Questions for 11/13/09: (Thanks to Sandy for her question and to Liz for inspiration--I tweaked her question a bit!!)

1. What is your favorite "eat" on Thanksgiving?

My favorite dish is my Aunt Ma'am Corn Pudding. Everyone knows to eat what they can on Turkey day because the leftovers come home with ME (although she has been known to make me my VERY OWN dish to take home for the rest of the week) and I don't share!!!

Also, the years that I go to my in laws and don't get to have any of Aunt Ma'am's corn pudding- my mom and Aunt swap Marg's Fruit Salad for Carrie's Corn Pudding- and of course mom savings some for me!!!

2. What is the name your best girl friend and the best trait about her or how you met (or heck, both!!) My best girlfriend is Katie.... also known as Smoochie (no I didn't give her that name- it's her childhood nickname) Her best trait is her BIG heart- she'd give you the shirt of her back- or in MANY cases she gives me the straightener out of her bathroom- haha!!!

We met while I was crying on the front steps of Jamison Dorm at UNC-Greensboro my freshman year after finding out that a friend was in the hospital- Katie came over and asked what she could do for me!! We haven't gone a week without talking since!!!

3. What would you say is one of your "weirdest" quirks?

I have too many to count!!! Maybe that I don't like my food to touch on my plate. When I was little I would have four bowls instead of one plate. (sometimes I still do if it's a "runny" dish)

4. What is your favorite genre of music? (Hip hop? Classical? Rock? etc.)

I like rock, oldies, country, and pop

5. Are you a Night Owl...or an Early Bird?

Night Owl- although now with Chatham I go to bed by 9 and am up by 6- so I guess I've become an early bird- but I am a very angry, non talkative early bird.

Feel free to check out The Little Life Blog yourself or just copy the questions from me.

Give it to Chatham - - He'll eat ANYTHING!!!

Nana took us to dinner last night- we went to Geppetto's and Chatham had a BALL at the salad bar!
Well actually I took his little orange take n toss bowl up to the salad bar with me and putt in two olive slices, a pepperoni, a small pickle chips, two TINY pieces of chopped tomato, a quarter of a pear, a few shreds of cheese, LOTS of mushy diced carrots- and a partridge in a pear tree! I was AMAZED at how well (and how much) he ate!
I guess with these two little toofers he has decided to expand the menu a bit- looks like I'm doing some grocery shopping this weekend!

Also, Chatham has a new FAV- spaghetti noodles, VERY small, with NOTHING on it! Peas, Broccoli, and Apples are quickly topping the list of likes.

What do you're little ones like to eat? I need to think outside the box to get Chatham a wide variety of new treats....
