Marlee was 3 months old for her first Thanksgiving! We woke up in Nashville for the first time on Thanksgiving Day since we've lived together. Dave was supposed to work on Friday, but the shop/office closed, so we got to head to Centre on Thursday after making breakfast and watching some of the parade on TV. My parents went to Tuscaloosa that day to be there for the Iron Bowl on Friday. So we stayed at the Sanfords the first 2 nights. Then the Sanfords hosted their family and my family for an awesome dinner...so much food! But everything went well, and I enjoyed helping Beth and April prepare the food. We ate lupper at Gaye's house on Sunday before heading back to Nashville. Beverly is 17 weeks pregnant and Natalie is now walking. Auburn ended up winning the game against Bama...28-27...WAR EAGLE! They are undefeated and play South Carolina for the SEC championship this weekend.
We are headed back to Centre this weekend again to celebrate Christmas early with Larry's side of the family at Maw Maw's. It'll be the first time they have met Marlee (except for Maw Maw). She has been exploring so much more with her hands, and still trying to find her thumb. There is a lot of grabbing at and holding onto small rings/toys. She still loves her little girl doll which we have named Polly Prissypants, and we found out that mom's cousin Sarah F was the one who got it for her. She's tolerating tummy time more and getting stronger, and her head control is awesome. Now she can entertain herself for short chunks of time looking around, at toys, her hands, and even tries to look at the tv sometimes. A growth spurt is supposed to occur between 3-4months, so she'll probably get taller, but right now she's a little chunk! Around 12lbs or so. Her eyes look like they are going to stay blue too. ;) She's also enjoying bath time more and more, splashing some and it's so cute!
We are so thankful for our little family!
