We took Ness to play at the Mall which is his favorite place to play. It doesnt matter how tired he is he runs around and plays with the other kids.
Last week (or the week before?) was Thanksgiving. We had so much fun! Ness did super, slept VERY well (he was really worn out) and had lots of fun. We were gone almost a whole week but he didnt seem to mind. We got to see almost ALL of our family and I think that overall it was a A plus! This is the first Thanksgiving (in a while) where we went to Leesville/DeRidder for Thanksgiving (usually we go for Christmas), and it was fun for a change.
Above Poppy is giving Ness and Natalie a ride in the wheel barrow. Ness got to do a lot of things for the first time.Below is a VERY tired one-nap baby. This was when we first got to my parents. He had taken one early nap and then was awake the whole trip (didnt cry!), this was after bath and before bedtime. And it was the only time the whole week that he had trouble getting to sleep...it was more than likely from him being over-tired.
Big Cheese in Leesville. I am not sure why he thought this moldy deer was so fun..but he really did.
The Thornton's! This was the best picture we got of the family (actually the ONLY decent one) and my belly/everything looks HUGE...
I just think that this is a very funny family picture. Especially how happy Ness looks to be holding a random dog...and if you look closely you can see our wild mutt in the background eating Turkey innards.
Ness and Aunt Ashley.
The whole crew!
Ness flies through the air! We had a very fun walk in the woods. Ness really enjoyed it. We saw a HUGE rat, and when Michael screamed the rat got so scared he ran into a metal post. Then we saw a snake that wouldn't run away but did lunge at us once....after all that is when Ness flew in the air...
Below is Ness with Poppy and a Jack in the box, which is a toy that he REALLY liked (those always scared me).
Cousins! Minus baby Bronwen (to little for bathing with big kids) and two babies in Utero. Next Thanksgiving there wont be enough room for the 7 cousins....all within 4 years!
My parents Christmas Picture. It turned out pretty well considering how many kids are involved. Ness is smiling because right before I snapped the picture we all clapped and fake laughed...all of the others were just confused by that...guess Ness is used to having weird parents....
Ness and Daddy had SO much fun on the trampoline.
He laughed the entire time.
So overall it was fun! We cant wait for Christmas. We are REALLY hoping to stay in the Baton Rouge area (minus the maybe trip to Winnsboro)...but we will see how that goes. Our cute little house is all decorated (pictures next time) and looks SOOO cozy! Our Christmas tree is up and Ness really enjoys looking at the lights. I love this time of year. And after Christmas our dear friends that we spent A LOT of time with in Japan are coming to visit from Ohio for a week! And David Barnes will be here too! ALSO Michael is going to use up his vacation days and take a week off! Cant wait!Baby #2 still has no name, although I can clearly feel that he is growing. His movements are less like bubbles and more like shoves and punches. I still cant feel his body parts through my skin when I press on my belly; I think he's still small enough to hide. According to the baby growth chart he is around 1.5 pounds and almost 10 inches long. This pregnancy is FLYING by..yikes! I am now 25 weeks. We are getting more nervous and more excited, when we are rigging up Ness's sleep spot at different houses we say "HOW IN THE WORLD are we going to do this for two babies???) Oh well, people have had more kids and survived so I guess we will too!
Time for CUTE-NESSSSS!
