Thanksgiving x3

We got to enjoy 3, yes 3, Thanksgivings this year!

A few weekends ago we had Matt's side of the family over for a pre-Thanksgiving day meal. It was really just an excuse to start celebrating early and to have some leftovers. Even though it was early we still went all out.



We spent the actual Thanksgiving day holiday in St. Louis celebrating with that side of the family. It was also our early Christmas celebration as well. Everyone was very generous and Oscar was truly spoiled! He really enjoyed seeing everyone again. He really loves having family around and wastes no time getting comfortable and friendly with everyone. He happily joined in on the turkey day feasts.

"O my, all these toys for me?!"

"Yea!"

Thanks to everyone for a great Thanksgiving!

new teeth

Oscar will be getting 20 teeth before he turns 2. I hope they all go a little easier then these upper central incisors. He started to seem irritated by them at the beginning of September and two and a half months later they finally erupted! We are trying to get him used to teeth brushing. He has quickly adjusted to his new teeth and is happy to show them off with one of his big grins.

O's

Last weekend Claire, Sam and Olive came over with a yummy enchilada dinner! After dinner, Olive helped with Oscar's bath and getting ready for bed. She even read him a few bedtime stories!

pasta con broccoli a la Oscar

Grannie sent Oscar some special tiny star pasta a while back. We had tried it once and he was not interested at all. This time Oscar wasn't too excited about it plain but with some special broccoli puree he loved it!

Thanks Grannie!

first Halloween

Oscar was a monkey for his first Halloween... and so were we.

Oscar didn't do any trick or treating for Halloween, but he did visit many of his friends and family.

fall visitors

It is continually getting tougher to make blog posts with this busy little man crawling all over the place.

Grannie AND Great Uncle Rick came to visit over the same weekend! OMG! Luckily Grannie got a day with "BooBoo" before Uncle Rick came to steal the show.

CLIMBING THE STAIRS

We had wonderful fall weather for the weekend. We all took a walk to enjoy the colors. Matt and I went to see a show with Rick at the Guthrie, Faith Healer... a very nice treat! Thanks to Grannie for babysitting and Rick for treating us to the show.
The real treat was Rick's puppet show the next day. Obviously Oscar is a fan of theater already.
