Thanksgiving 2010

We went to Wynne for Thanksgiving and were able to see both families because Jay's parents came to Wynne to visit his grandmother. We also got to see my great friends Kara and Tracy, but I didn't get any pictures of that! Kara and Matt stopped by Mima's on Thursday so they could see Brody, and I took Brody to see Tracy on Friday. We had a great time visiting everyone, and are completely worn out! It may take Brody a few days to get back into his routine, and to remember that he can't be held all day!

When we got to Wynne on Tuesday, we went by to see Joey and Laura and the kids.

On Thanksgiving day, we spent the day at Mima's. Papa and Grandma kept Brody while Jay and I ran 9 miles - we got to eat a lot of turkey and pie after that!

Saturday, Matt, Libby, Tom, Jay and I went to the Arkansas vs LSU game. We had a great time tailgating and at the game, and it was even more fun since the Hogs won!

Brody Thomas - 3 months old

Brody is 3 months old now! How time flies!! Brody is about 12.5 pounds now (which is still about the 40th percentile), and about 23.5 inches, according to our own tape measure! Here are a few things he is doing:
-always wants to sit up when holding onto our hands, but can't balance by himself yet
-starting to enjoy playing by himself some on the floor or his gym
-learning about his hands, holding toys, putting them in his mouth
-drools some, blows bubbles
-loves to suck and chew on our hands or his hands
-smiles a lot (-:
-loves to be outside or go places and look at all the people
He usually sleeps from about 10 or 10:30 to around 7. He was eating 6 times a day, but this weekend we went to every 3 and 1/2 hours, which is 5 times a day, and he is doing great with it. He is such a good baby - we are so lucky to have him and love him so much!

Sleeping by Daddy

We met Jay for lunch at Firehouse Subs on Wednesday - Brody slept the whole time

Wednesday afternoon, Brody and I met Cara and Andrea for coffee at Panera - this is Cara and Brody goofing off!

Playing in the gym

He holds his head up very well

Sitting up holding onto Jay

He wants to do it a hundred times in a row!

Sweet baby!

Bathtime! Brody likes it, but doesn't talk during it, just takes it all in - he cries when he gets out though!

After the bath - getting ready to go

Sitting up like a big boy!

So tired! Worn out from eating!

Mommy and Batman! Ginger gave us this, and we love it!

Saturday, Cara kept Brody for us so Jay and I could run together. We did 8 miles, and were very tired!

Saturday night we went to a baby shower dinner for Andrea and Brad
