Gobble Gobble Happy Thanksgiving 2010 Rhett on his first Thanksgiving, ready to feast! We enjoyed a quiet Thanksgiving holiday in Arizona this year.  Unusual for us, since we are usually in Colorado over the holiday with my family.  We cooked a small 'feast' and had Rhonda, Nic, Jayde & Dani over.  We had some fun 'posing' Rhett with the turkey also; and he did enjoy some mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy and distinctly DISLIKED the cranberry sauce!  Not quite ready for turkey yet.  I even managed to get up the Christmas tree, much to Rhett's delight, and Mommy stayed up late decorating. We were all sick over the holiday too, so we spent our couple of days just laying around in our jammies trying to recover and get well. Rhett enjoyed lots of cartoon watching, with his Grinch also!  Rhett also recently cut tooth #3, and I can see on his top gum line several teeth just ready to pop through.  It's been a teething frenzy in our house. We...

 Been a little couch potato lately, not feeling himself.  Affects detailed below.  Last night Rhett wasn't acting his usual spunky self, was kind of lazy and wanted to sit on the sofa next to his Mom and just watch some cartoons.  It was a busy weekend with family in town, so I just let him relax.  He went to bed and slept sound through the night, nothing unusual. Today, well....today was one of those days that I truly feel like a 'mom', or at least the not so sexy parts of being a mom.  Detailed below.  If you have a queasy stomach, don't read any further.  Stop now.  Really.  Stop. We were our way to run an errand for my work (to a public place)....and I had to stop for gas.  Rhett is happy, nothing unusual.  I open up the back door and my son looks over at me.  He then proceeds to projectile vomit allllll over himself, the car seat, the back seat, his toys, the blanket..oh, and me also.  I'm telling you, I nev...

It was doctor day.  Rhett is officially doing well, and on his way to being a very tall boy.  That's got to be those Heiman genes in him (my Mom's side of the family, all my aunts & uncles are 6ft+).  He had to get a shot today, and he was very cranky about that tonight, my poor boy! Weight:  20lbs, 12oz  (55th Percentile) Height:  29"  (85th Percentile) Rhett ate mashed potatoes with gravy and a tiny bit of meatloaf last night.  He was in HEAVEN!  Think he may be a meat & potato kind of guy, like his Daddy.

Big boy!  9 Months Old I am in awe of the fact that my little boy is 9 months old today.  Amazing how time just zips on by. He is so full of energy, busy getting around wherever he goes.  Crawling is his quickest way of transportation these days, zipping along from place to place, with the 'slap, slap, slap' of his hands on our hard floors.  He's fast too, super fast.  The dogs even have a hard time getting out of his way in time.  Put him in his walker, even more dangerous.  That kid can take a walker full force into a baby gate, wall, door or cabinet, bounce off and just laugh like it was the best ride ever.  The walker and anything confining is getting pretty old now though.  He's learning really how to walk, by furniture surfing.  His favorite thing is to walk along the sofas, tables, toys, cabinets, walls, whatever he can stand up next too.  I've caught him a few times bend down to pick up toy #2, then simply stand with bot...
