First Thanksgiving and other firsts

Thanksgiving week started off with some excitement when we picked Jack up from day care on Tuesday to find that he was crawling! He had been up on all fours all weekend, rocking back and forth, but he hadn't started moving. By the time we picked him up Tuesday afternoon, he was cruising. No videos yet, but we'll post them soon.

We drove back to Iowa on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Jack slept during the entire drive Tuesday night and did pretty well on Wednesday morning. On Thursday morning, we celebrated Thanksmas (or Christgiving, if you prefer) with Nike's parents. Jack got to open his first presents. He wasn't particularly excited about the toys or the wrapping paper until we got the toy unwrapped and in front of him.

We celebrated regular Thanksgiving later on Thursday afternoon with the Lenoch clan.

Jack was kind of fussy Thursday afternoon, and by Friday morning, we figured out why: he was getting his first tooth! It hasn't made its way completely out yet, but there's definitely something poking through. We spent Friday with the Flemings, and Grandma Jane and Grandpa Randy got to spend time with both of their grandsons.
