Happy Turkey Day!

Chester's new sock monkey hat. A reason to look forward to winter!

Today is Thanksgiving here - it's warm (21 degrees Celcius) sunny and it just happens to be 10/10/10! Kinda cool!  My favourite number is 11 though so I'm looking forward to 11/11/11. Hopefully we'll be doing something special on that day next year! ;)  I'm sooooo thankful for my family and our new addition!  Mommy and daddy love you so much little boy.  Just think, this time next year you'll be eating turkey!  Time to learn to cook one of those suckers.  haha!

Chester has been a very active baby this week. Now that he's rolling onto his tummy like it's old hat, he's determined to do so every chance he gets. It's totally scary as I can't leave him alone in his crib at all now. Even at night when we put him to sleep he usually rolls onto his stomach, which means we have to go in and move him, which makes him think it's playtime. (Sigh. What a little stinker!) Actually, three nights this week have been difficult at bedtime. Usually we put him in his crib, he'll take a few minutes to settle and go right to sleep. In the past there have been a few occasions where he'll cry a little or howl, but only once or twice.  Not sure why he had so much trouble in the last few days.  Maybe he's trying to figure out if crying works at night since mum and dad run to take care of him when he does it at every other occasion?  Not looking forward to him testing us to see how far he can take it, although he's probably been doing it for the last few months already!

He's been making little squeaks and squawks over the last few weeks or so as you recall from his imitation of a little parakeet in his crib.  But he seems to have found his voice and is enjoying practicing his newfound skills.of breaking the sound barrier.  Sometimes it's so high it's almost within range for dogs only.  Almost...until then we'll have to deal with the ear-splitting decibels he's pumping out.
