Chandler's First Thanksgiving & More...

Now that is one cute kid!!

Hello All,

Can you believe it is December already? Well, no sooner did I submit the last post about Chandler feeling all better did she come down with ANOTHER cold and ear infection. This one was a doozie as it really made her miserable. This was really my first experience seeing her cry at length and it was heart breaking. Even after she had started the antibiotic her fever was raging so I we made our first and hopefully last visit to the E.R. It was so sweet of Auntie Kelly to meet us there for moral support. What a dear friend she is. The doctor said she likely had a viral infection on top of the bacterial one so we just had to wait it out. Thankfully a few days later her high fever broke and she was feeling better again. I couldn't be happier to see her back to her silly self again. She was better just in time for Thanksgiving so we made our first road trip together to Raleigh to see Auntie Von and crew. Yvonne and Chris prepared a delicious Thanksgiving Dinner. Considering this was Chandler's first REAL homecooked meal, she ate like it was her last meal. It's actually amazing the amount of food this little person consumes. Well anyhow we had a wonderful time there and really appreciate all the hugs and kisses Chandler received. We're excited to go back for Christmas.

Playing video games with Cousin Ethan sure was exhausting!

My girls bonding with some books. I thought it was so funny that out of all of the books Natalie had for her to choose from, Chandler chose the one paperback to "read"!

Don't you just hate it when you get mac & cheese on your eyebrow? Chandler, by the way, is an amazing eater. She's not a bit fussy and will pretty much keep eating until you stop feeding her. It's unbelievable almost considering she's still only 19 pounds. I'd love that kind of metabolism!
