Still, I wish we had more connections around here, especially when Thanksgiving comes around. I cooked for Thanksgiving, expecting some conversations with students at an event hosted on campus. What I didn't expect was to be sitting around a huge table with a handful of strangers, eating in silence while watching the dog show. It was good to host some friends the following weekend though, and have a "real" thanksgiving, which- for me- is incomplete without at least one lively boardgame.
Colin is almost 11 weeks old and doing great. He is babbling a lot more now and almost seems to understand the concept of a conversation. He waits until I have finished talking to him before babbling back. His favorite things are watching Murphy cross the room, grabbing toys, grabbing his own ear, and trying to shove his fist into his mouth.
We went caroling with a group from church this week. I wore Colin in the moby wrap. It was fun and warm and cozy. So many things I could not do without babywearing! I am excited for Colin's first Christmas. He won't remember it, of course, but I hope to make lots of fun traditions and memories for him in the years to come.
We are leaving this morning to fly to Mobile so that Colin can be properly spoiled by the grandparents and great-grandparents. He will meet his aunts, uncle, and cousin- my neice. I don't have anything else to say so here are some pictures:
