(warning: long post ahead)
for thanksgiving, we headed down to dallas to visit burt's family...we decided it would be smart if we left at 5:30 am on wednesday...that meant i needed to have everything by the front door the night before, so i could just nurse him, load up and hit the road...these are some of my piles
so much stuff to take once you have a child...and i know it will only get worse!
our new jogging stroller, burt wanted to test it out down there...my in-law's live in this neat community near the north park mall that used to be a golf course, so it has lots of trees, several ponds (you have to watch out for the geese) and great walking trails
a new toy from lucky
papa reading to mccoy...he loved the dr. seuss books
bath time! mccoy's first bath in a real tub...burt's knees didn't appreciate it though
cute thanksgiving pjs
i am definitely not ready to see our baby in a real bed, but he does look cute
mccoy hanging out with his great grandmother, nani...she just loved holding him and so did mccoy
thanksgiving day...

thanksgiving day...burt's sister and her family...mandy, aaron, austin and drew
drew absolutely loved mccoy...he thought it was just wonderful how mccoy would hold his finger...he later asked his mother if mccoy had been crying since he wasn't there to hold mccoy's hand
aunt mandy and mccoy

aunt mandy and mccoy
she told me she was excited that she finally gets to be called an aunt
drew wanted to feed the ducks, so we all went down to the pond...mandy and drew took off trying to find them, while we enjoyed the sunshine
our family
HAPPY 5 MONTH DAY MCCOY...he didn't really get pumpkin roll, but he sure wanted to...this is also right after he exploded all over burt!

at mccoy's christening back in august, he wore my family's christening gown...so lucky (that's my mother-in-law's grandma name) wanted some pictures of mccoy in their family gown...i thought he look so precious!
on saturday, the cousins and us went to a park in dallas to take some pictures for lucky to use as christmas cards...this is what austin and drew wore and underneath is a picture of mccoy's outfit...i wasn't able to get a good picture of him in it, but he is going to wear it at christmas again...so i'll hopefully have plenty then
mccoy on the way home (he loves to play with burp cloths)...we once again left at 5:30 am, but it was so nice to be home early and he did great the whole trip!
this year, burt and i have been so blessed, and we are thankful for all of our family and friends and our health, but most of all for our sweet and precious boy, mccoy...he is the light of our lives and everyday is a new adventure...i can't wait to love him more tomorrow!

What a beautiful christening gown! Those pictures are precious! I'm so glad you guys had a good Thanksgiving. Great memories! And I love McCoy's Christmas outfit. Can't wait to see pictures of him in it!
