Thanksgiving '07

It's been a busy time over the past week or so. Last Tuesday I went to the airport to pick up Mum and Barry. They arrived safely after a long flight and lay-over in LAX.

Wednesday was Amy's 9 month Dr appointment and she now weighs 17lb and is 28" tall. She was not at all impressed with the 3 vaccinations she had! Dr Gibbons was a little concerned that she is not yet saying "Da da da" or "Ba ba ba" but said we should wait until the New Year and hopefully she'll be making her first sounds by then. Amy also needs to have a blood test just to check her iron levels - again nothing serious just needs to be checked at her age.

Then of course on Thursday it was Thanksgiving, so we were cooking all day and had our fill of turkey, sweet potato, green beans, corn bread etc. Amy was asleep during the meal but was able to enjoy some Thanksgiving leftovers later that evening. The next day Amy, Mum, Barry and I were all up bright and early for a full day of shopping on Black Friday. We got a great deal on a videa camera at Best Buy and then picked up most of Amy's Christmas presents at Toy'R'Us. We also shopped at Yankee Candle, JC Penney, Babies'R'Us, Gap and more. Mum and Barry bought Amy a new car seat and she seems to really like it .

Saturday and Sunday saw more shopping and showing Mum and Barry around San Antonio. Barry especially liked Costco!! Jerad put up all the Christmas decorations for us and the house now looks so pretty inside with the tree and lights and all. We are getting excited about Christmas and have started the countdown.
