GROWING TOO FAST!!

I hope you all had a great Christmas. We celebrated ours w/ Jason's family this year in Knoxville. We were excited that Kaleb would enjoy opening his gifts this year, but he did not seem to care. Instead he tried to pull every ornament there was off the tree. He also enjoyed chasing the chihauhaus around saying bow wow, bow wow.

This past week he has just exploded with new development. He started calling the dogs bow wow's and he started saying "uh oh" when he fell or dropped something. He started giving kisses on the cheeks when asked (which is the most awesome thing ever!!) He started being efficient and safe going down the stairs feet first on his stomach. Now he just flies down them like he's on a sled. He also started signing please, which i'm not sure where he learned, but picked up awfully fast when we taught it to him...i guess he figured out it helps get him what he wants...He is just so much fun! It was awesome to spend so much time with him over christmas break, but really hard to go to work today (even just for 4 hours)...We went to the park today b/c it was pretty nice outside finally!!

Thanksgiving

We had my side of the family join us for dinner at our house for the first time. I cooked my first turkey and was pretty impressed actually. I got a good recipe out of a magazine and had a friend that went to culinary school tell me some good tips. We had a great spread and enjoyed it thoroughly. I feel like I didn't get to spend much time w/ family b/c i was either cooking/cleaning or chasing Kaleb around. But it was still nice to have everyone together, especially since Christie and Brett will be going to Africa soon (march 09').
