Thanksgiving 2011!

Eliot has really gotten down feeding himself just in time for Thanksgiving.  Also, I've been concentrating on feeding him more solids while reducing his formula in-take, so he has been very excited to eat anything and everything.

Here is Eliot eating a Morningstar fake corndog nugget.  I had torn half of it up into little bites, which he wasn't interested in picking up.  However, he grabbed the other half and chewed on it.  It is becoming more and more apparent that I have been babying him and have been too cautious with his food.  He wasn't interested in nibbles--he wanted to take bites himself!

We have been pigsitting the neighbor pig for the holiday.  Can you believe this pig can walk down the stairs?  That's Boone for ya!

Christopher's parents and sister came in around noon.  We had Thanksgiving dinner at his uncle Scott's.

Eliot had a little bit of everything.  Turkey, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, mac'n'cheese, and a lottt of cranberry sauce.

This morning, Christopher and I went for a run.  Have I mentioned that we have been running on schedule for a whole month now?  Later, Chris and his dad cleaned up the yard (so many leaves from the neighbors!) and then we put up some Christmas lights.  It is the first year we have them on the house itself.  Each year, we add a little more, and it looks darn good so far if you ask me.  I'll post a photo when it is finally finished.
