Jack turned 7 months yesterday! He now weighs 15lbs 12.5oz & is 25.75" tall. He is almost crawling now, he will get up on all fours and rock or move one or both knees forward. He also gets up on his hands and toes with his butt way up on the air. He rolls everywhere! He loves to laugh, talk & smile. He has quite a happy personality. He adores his big sister and things she is so funny. :)
We celebrated Thanksgiving with the Becker side of the family yesterday and had a wonderful dinner. Ryan smoked a Jack Daniels turkey in his smoker and it turned out wonderful, his best one yet! I also made homemade rolls, green bean casserole & a green salad. His sister Laura brought a ton of pies, and his Dad baked a turkey, ham & did mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy. We all had quite a feast! Lydia had a lot of fun playing with her cousins Emma (18 months) & Tanner (almost 3). It was about time to go home and everyone was cleaning up when Tanner ran after Lydia in the living room and fell head first into the coffee table. I saw the hole thing and when I heard that loud crack when he hit the table my heart just sank, I knew it was going to be really bad.. He had a big gaping gash below his right eye. He ended up having to get 9 stitches in the ER. Poor guy, we all felt terrible, what a way to end the night. :(
We will be going to my parents on Thanksgiving day at 1pm and then to Granny's that night at 7pm for pie and to do the name draw for the gift exchange for the family. Ryan will be smoking a turkey for that dinner too. Yum!
I drove by our new home today to see that they were digging the basement today. It was so muddy and wet today I was kind of surprised they decided to start on it now. We didn't have nice weather today at all. I hope things go smoothly with the building process from now on. It is exciting to see them breaking ground though. We would appreciate all your prayers for that as well as a smooth and quick sale of our existing home. It was so congested on the road with workers and work trucks when I drove by the new home I just looked quickly. I will try to take pictures of the progress sometime soon and post them.
Here are some 7 month pictures of Jack, Lydia and her VERY first piggy tail from this last weekend and some photos of the family before we went to Thanksgiving dinner at the Becker's.
