A little Frankenstein...?

So the funny thing the other day was that Munchie fell asleep in his mini-Papasan (really a Poop-a-san after an unfortunate day care incident...)....with his arms straight out in front of him. I thought for sure the arms would slowly fall to the sides as he fell into a deeper sleep. Nope, he kept this pose for 45 minutes (until he woke up again).




We received some adorable/cute clothes from my godmother in Alabama...(did you guys know I was officially born there??)

Last weekend, Carol, Sharon, Munchie and I went the Christmas Affair - a mega-bazaar at which to buy Christmas gifts which was put on by the Junior League. Unfortunately Munch had a meltdown soon after we got there...this improved a few hours later :)

As I officially had to work Thursday (Thanksgiving) morning, we kept it easy/simple that day. Jason(!) made dinner - turkey, stuffing, fresh cranberry sauce...I supplied the mashed potatoes and gravy...and we gave thanks for all the amazing things that have happened in the last 5 months (baby, move, 2 new jobs, new car, sale of old house, etc.)

Our trusty scavenger Newton was nearby to catch any scraps :)

As we ate, Munchie slept...

We've been having some unseasonably cold weather for Austin (30s/40s w/ rain). Reminds us of our old stomping ground (Vermont). We actually had to turn on the heat!!

(There's precious little more fun than cuddling with a baby in a fuzzy warm blanket...)

We got a wonderful set of gifts from our friends (Matt/June & Mike/Sharon). Munchie was diggin the Rainforest Jumper.

Even though his feet didn't quite touch the ground...

Jason tried to help him out by using my Pilates mat...but Munch didn't appreciate it...

So we let him continue to play and dangle in midair :)

Just some more pictures for Grandparents Fought & Burger - enjoy :)

A Little Peanut....

....is what we have. Anderson had his 2 month appointment last week. All looks good (though he didn't appreciate the battery of shots!). He is officially 50%ile weight....and 25%ile height(!) Well, looking at his parents, I hope no one was expecting a future basketball or football player... (Maybe a jockey?)

Dad has been teaching Munchie the finer aspects of the remote...and ESPN. There have been quite a few games watched by both. Dad can't wait until he can teach Munchie the Buckeye song (then he won't be so disappointed by Mommy's lack of knowledge!)

We made an official road trip down to Houston to stay with some friends overnight - Matt, June, and Munchie's future girl - Rivers. (That is, if he can reign in some of the...uh...flatulence he has been exhibiting....) Many thanks for the dinner - Mommy really enjoyed the pomegranate martinis :)

Otherwise, life has been very busy in the last 2 weeks as I have started work - and Jason has continued his night/weekend shifts with his nephrology board exam coming up on Tuesday (wish him luck!).

Luckily Munchie is still enjoying daycare - his teacher is continually impressed by all the faces he makes (and probably all the gas too!). We're happy that Munchie is now in a smiley phase (though that's not quite the phase he's in as I compose this - sounds like it's bedtime!).

Take care :)
