Dylan had a wonderful 1st Thanksgiving this year… he is now 8 weeks old.  We enjoyed spending time with my parents and David enjoyed cooking the wonderful gourmet Thanksgiving meal!  Drew loved Grandma and Grandad being here and had plenty of entertainment while David and I were getting lunch ready. 

Milestones… We are enjoying every moment with Dylan and continuing to develop our day to day routine as he grows.  He is awake the majority of the day now and sleeps pretty good at night.  He is getting up about once a night to eat.  He is eating about 4 ounces every 4 hours at this point.  He has been charming us with his smile… he will smile on command now if we do silly things to him like tickle his chin or make funny faces and noises.  

Drew is doing great also and is so excited that we have begun our Christmas decorating.  He and David put lights on all the bushes, he helped me decorate the Christmas tree, and “Nonie” (our Christmas Elf) has arrived.   At age 3, he is very into everything and we are having a blast watching his excitement with it all.  Last Christmas at age 2 is when our little elf Nonie arrived.  We have no idea where the name Nonie came from but that is what he wanted to call him, so that is what has stuck.    Drew is obsessed with the little guy… Nonie has been doing some pretty funny stuff since he arrived from the North Pole on Friday.  The first night he had Drew’s cars out playing with them upstairs, the second night he found him riding on his roller car with his stuffed animals on the back and the third Nonie was hiding inside of one of Drew’s school shoes which were propped up on top of the TV in the living room (as seen below).  Drew  is loving it!
