Our Stuffed Little Turkey

Yes our little turkey is indeed stuffed! He has been stuffing his face since Wednesday night! He has amazed many over the course of 5 days with his ability to put it away! Jace's 1st Thanksgiving weekend began on Wednesday night at Gma and Gpa F.'s. Of course he had to have his first taste of KC chicken. Did he like it?? Of course! Thanksgiving Day was also a hit with little Jacer. He filled his belly with turkey and all the fixins! He even liked the cranberry sauce!!

Mmmm....yummy


Do I look full???? NEVER!


Friday morning Mommy and Aunt Erin decided it would be fun to check out the crowds and go shopping. Of course Jace slept late that morning which meant a later start than expected. Then Mommy's car got mad and started shouting 'STOP'...'Break Default'. After finally getting word that the car was indeed ok, the crew finally made it to B-town. Worst decision ever. Mommy will NEVER go shopping on Black Friday again. Jace was even less enthused.

Booooring!!!


STILL Boooooooring!!

This picture was captured shortly after the clerk in one store decided to take Jace's thumb out of his mouth and pop it in her own! Mommy was so flabbergasted she couldn't even say a word. Jace was not fazed and promptly inserted it BACK IN HIS OWN MOUTH!! Ewwwww. Once again......Never again on Black Friday.

Friday evening Jace got together with his cousins and watched the lighted X-mas parade. He enjoyed about 1/2 of it before Mommy and Daddy thought it was a smidge too cold.


Friday night was a bit of a milestone for Mommy. Her first night out on the town in 2 years. Yes, you read right....2 years. Mommy had only 3 rules for the night....1. No liquor 2. No shots 3. No dancing

This is Mommy taking it easy (breaking rule #2) at around 9:30.

As you may have guesssed rules 1 and 3 were broken in subsequent hours. Mommy also would like to include a transcript from her and Aunt Erin's conversations leading up to a hellish Saturday morning.

Friday night 9:30 pm
Aunt Erin: It's ok...I'll get up with Jace in the morning. Go ahead and have fun.
Mommy: Are you sure?
Aunt Erin: Of course!

Saturday morning 11:00 am
Aunt Erin: (rubbing her eyes and yawning as she stretches and gets up) Good morning! I have the perfect cure for a hangover! Sleep as long as you possibly can!
Mommy: (turning slightly green after being awake since 5:00 am) What happened to getting up with Jace?

Sunday Jace got to celebrate yet again at Nana and Papa Cooks. And once again, he ate like a champ! Mommy even had to have dessert just for him! The things she does for her boy!


Hanging with the boys watching football.


And almost last but not least, Jace now has a total of four teeth with another one right on their tail. 2 broke through on top this weekend and another is so close you can almost brush it!

And really last but not least, Jace started his new daycare today. He did wonderful!! Mommy was so worried but only called once. Jace even managed to take 2 naps--one of which was a whole hour! Way to go Jace!! Mommy couldn't be more proud of her little man!!
