Our Thanksgiving vacation in Arkansas was a blast. David picked up quite a few new tricks while we were out there too. One of his new favorites is scratching everything. He loves the noise. He is getting very good with his hands he can grab on it just about anything... now the trick is learning let go!

Trip to the mile high city

We had a great trip over to Colorado a week ago. David and his little cuz Nate Dawg spent lots of time out to lunch together and lounging around the house together. We had to make sure to include the little feet photo for Grandma Jan. We stuck both David and Nate in the same boppy for those photo's. For Halloween we borrowed this adorable pumpkin suit from our neighbors. David's pudgy little cheeks were oozing out of the sides... so cute. We have a great time hanging with Grandma Lisa, Jeff, and the Lisonbees. Emma Camille and Ashley were very helpful with David and really enjoyed making him smile and squeal. He loves patty cake.

Baby Play

Baby loves to play all kinds of games. You must forgive us for the camera flip... we are not used to using the camera as a video.

Daddy Time

Having your first baby means that every little thing they do is the highlight of you day. Joe and I are having so much fun playing with David. He gets more and more interactive. He is so bent on being able to sit-up and stand he will be walking before he ever crawls an inch.

Baby Exercises

David is learning new tricks every day, and as first parents always do we oo and ahh over every little thing. latest tricks include sticking out his tongue, blowing bubbles, and sitting up.

Baby coos and smiles

Hopefully this video works. It's some pretty cute baby footage. After every baby snack we make sure that David gets a few words out. He is talking and smiling so much now. I have even gotten a few ticklish smiles out of him! David also likes to stand up. Of course he wiggles and flops all over the place, but he is really quite strong.

Hiking the Y

We went on a little hike the other day... up to the Y! It really took a lot out of me, but it was really fun. Little David is quiet the outdoors-man. Every time we take him out in the sun, he sprawls out and basks in the warmth.
