Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful first Thanksgiving with Hayden. We were fortunate enough to spend the holiday with both our families. We visited Gary's parents in NC at their new cabin which Gary's Dad has been building for the last 15 months since his retirement. The cabin is beautiful and so peaceful. It's the perfect mountain home. We also visited my family in Knoxville and were able to catch up with some friends as well as spend some time with some new ones - I had the pleasure of meeting the Welch's newest family member, Pierce. Hayden also enjoyed our little play date - she was intrigued with Pierce and was dying to eat his little hands and feet! The holiday was short but very memorable. We feel very blessed to have our family and friends. Happy Thanksgiving!

7 Months Old

Hayden is all over the place and getting into anything and everything! Her favorite things include the speaker wires, Ryan Howard bobble head, our shoes and paper. Hayden is also saying more words including ma-ma and her two teeth are almost all the way in. She is still the little social butterfly at her school - according to her teachers, she's the little doorman - she greets everyone with a wave and says ba-ba when they get ready to leave. Hayden is growing fast and is starting to show her independence - she is now feeding herself her bottles and is so close to crawling. Gare and I can't believe how quickly time has gone but we continue to love every second with our little baby!
