Thanksgiving Week

This past week has been rather hectic and frustrating. Tuesday morning, we loaded up and headed to Mobile for Thanksgiving. Nicholas slept for about an hour and a half, but that wasn't near what we had hoped as the 4+ hour drive can seem even longer with a fussy/squealing baby. Actually starting Monday evening, his schedule was WAY off. He didn't go to bed until late (around 10pm). In Mobile, his naps and bedtime were completely off - not going to bed until close to midnight one night and that was after Gabe and I took him for a drive around Mobile. We ate Thanksgiving lunch with all the Thompson's and then had to leave in order to make it home in time for Thanksgiving dinner with the Davenport/Martin families. On the way home he slept again around an hour and a half. We had to resort to the portable DVD player and Baby Einstein, which go figure worked great.

It's nice to be home, but unfortunately his sleeping habits are interrupted by more than just the travel. Nicholas has pretty much gotten the rolling over thing down, which is great, just not in the middle of the night when he rolls over and can't go back to sleep. We also think he has been more fussy due to constipation. Even after giving him several jars of prunes, he still isn't back to normal and I'm sure doesn't help things. I am definitely going to bring this up with Dr. Whitaker on Monday for his 6 month check-up.

Regardless, we are very thankful to have this little guy in our lives. It was good spending time with all our family! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! Here are a few pics from our time in Mobile

Whatever was on TV must have been good...


Who says you can't put a bumbo seat in the tub?


Mamaw loves those great-grandbabies!


Now we get to look forward to Nicholas getting his picture taken with Santa!
