Happy Thanksgiving! (A Note from Leif)

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! It's my second holiday, and I'm only 6 1/2 weeks old! Mommy and Daddy tell me that turkey is good but I don't even know what a turkey is. Oh well. They want to let you all know how thankful we are for all of you!

I've grown quite a bit in just a few weeks (over 9 lbs. now) so I thought I'd share some more pictures and milestones with you...

I can hold my head up pretty well now!

Bundling up to go to church...I still have some room to grow!

After I eat, I like to take a long nap on the couch. Daddy said that even adults sometimes do this, especially during Thanksgiving!

Sitting in my swing...

I like to stare at the part of the swing that moves.

I got my first cold this past week...all three of us were sick! I was getting tired of Mom and Dad sticking this thing in my nose, so I confiscated it.

I celebrated Mommy and Daddy's 2nd wedding anniversary by smiling at them for the first time on the 11th (I tried smiling a few days before that but I had a hard time convincing them it wasn't gas...this time they knew for sure that I was happy!). I can now see my toys hanging on my bouncer seat--they are fun to bat at with my arms.

The great-grandkids (Kayla, Dawson, Riley, and I)...we're just missing Stuart, Baby Nelson, and Baby Dyrud!

Mom was embarrassing me at Dawson's 1 year old birthday party!

Daddy and I having a heart-to-heart.

The chicks really dig spikey hair!
