Thanksgiving break

This past week has been really busy! On Monday Daddy pulled a muscle in his back, and he hasn't been able to really walk (or pick me up) until yesterday. Tuesday I went to the doctor for my one-year checkup and some shots. I weigh 20.75 lbs (25th percentile) and am 31 inches long (90th percentile). I've dropped some on my growth chart in weight, but the doctor says it's ok, since I'm just long and skinny.
Grandpa was here this week for Thanksgiving. We put child locks on the dining room buffet and some kitchen cabinets. Apparently Mommy doesn't appreciate how I reorganize everything.
I helped cook Thanksgiving dinner this year! The stuffing recipe calls for bread torn into little pieces, and tearing things up happens to be my specialty (although I left all the bread I tore up and didn't eat on the floor, so none of it actually made it into the stuffing). Technically this is my second Thanksgiving, but since I was only about three weeks old last year, I made up for it by eating about my weight in stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, and of course turkey. Yum!
I also pigged out on cookies. Mommy has this insane goal of making thirty different types of cookies this year, so we have tons of them at our house right now. I helped Mommy by getting out pans (that she didn't need), poking things with spatulas (that she did need), rummaging through all the ingredients, and trying to get into the oven to see the cookies. Together Daddy and I helped by eating as many cookies as Mommy would let us. I love helping!
