I forgot to add to the last post that Ian always says the same thing when Scott asks him what he did that day: He says "It's been a pretty good day so far." And it's always said in Ian's deep daddy voice.
Joseph began feeding himself with a spoon. It started back in October and he has gotten fairly good at the 'dip method' of spoon feeding.
Ian got his first professional haircut. Scott is excellent with a pair of clippers but since Ian gets hysterical every time we try to cut his hair, we decided we would try a new approach. He still looked nervous, but Scott said Ian looked like he knew he couldn't pull his usual haircut stunts at Snippits, so the haircut was accomplished without a hitch.
If there is a gate up, the grass must be greener on the other side. Even though all the toys are right behind them.

Even though we don't have any photo documentation to prove it, we had a fun Thanksgiving in the home of our Fake Texas Family, The Linfords. We celebrated the last 3 Thanksgivings and many Independence days, Easters and a few Labor days with them too. Scott made 2 apple pies by request again this year. They turned out beautifully.
