The Scribner family had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We started the day by going to the Niebuhr grandparents house to eat a delicious turkey dinner and play with cousins. Carter ran around all morning enjoying his cousins and trying to *play* with all the toys they were playing with. He also really enjoyed Opa's cane. He carried it around a lot of the day. He was pretty tired by lunch and didn't eat that much but went down for a much needed nap soon after we were done eating. He fell asleep as soon and his head hit the mattress.
He is usually a belly sleeper but he was too tired to move. Unfortunately he didn't take a long nap and was awake after one hour. (we switched him over to 1 nap a day last weekend. He usually sleeps 2 hours or so) But he was raring to go once he got in some snuggle time with Grandpa. Plus grandpa got to give him some pumpkin pie which he thoroughly enjoyed. The grownups then got to play a few games before heading over to the Hardt family celebrations. We celebrated a few birthdays and had another meal. Carter had a good time with his *cousins* and was surprisingly very good despite the lack of sleep. He didn't go to sleep until his head hit the car seat at 9:30pm. Of course you are all wondering if he slept in and the answer is no. He was up at the same time as always. We had a first at our house the next day. He fell asleep eating his lunch. I don't have those pictures downloaded so I will post them later. All in all we had a wonderful day with family. We are grateful for all the amazing people in our lives that make the holidays so much fun. Thanks for everyone who helped us check labels and made food with egg replacer. It makes us be able to enjoy the holidays with a little less stress. Carter thanks you as well.
