White Saturday!

We didn't venture out yesterday, known as Black Friday for all those holiday shoppers. This morning we woke to a beautiful sight... snow! We had to get Rigel out into it all. He doesn't quite make snow angels yet, but he likes eating it.

Thanksgiving!!!

We are so thankful for our Rigel. We are also grateful for family and friends, health and humor. We pray blessings and faith this holiday season to each of you!

Play time with my friend

Rigel has many little friends, especially girls... here he is with Norah, they are 6 days apart! They are both practicing on sitting up by themselves and don't quite have it. When I took the photo, I said "cheese"... and here's what our precious did. He is a joy everyday!

Look Ma no hands!

Rigel is on the teething phase of life and really likes this rubber hand. He just doesn't always want to hold it himself. No teeth showing yet but the doctor says it can take a couple of weeks before we see those first pearly whites! He is now 16lb 1oz ~50% for weight and 26 1/2 inches ~ 70% for height.

I have cousins!

So this post is a bit out of order. Rigel and I were just in Cali the last week of October basically, right before Hallowen. My sister's boys have waited a long time for me to give them a cousin. They loved Rigel, and he them... will there ever be a girl in this bunch? Anyway, we hope to see Hunter (older) and Parker (younger) really soon.

Milestones

So just to catch you all up, Rigel was a hungry feller on his trip to California. He was a champ on the plane. Since he was so hungry, when he got home we started him on rice cereal. He gets some in but a lot comes back out. He has seemed to really enjoy food.

Then today the little man rolled over for the first time right in front of me then fell back. He then promptly showed off for Mom and did it again and stayed on his stomach. As I am typing he is trying again.

Blah Blah Baby

Pumpkin Carving

Boyd was the master of this artful pumpkin (it's a mummy). We took Rigel to the Pearl Street Mall where zillions of kids and people parade their Halloween costumes and get candy during the daylight hours. Boyd then took Rigel around just our cul de sac to see our neighbors and wow... the cute kid raked in the candy! We as responsible parents will have to eat it for him- thanks Rigel!
