My First Thanksgiving

















We had the BEST Thanksgiving! Jack was so happy to get to spend the day with family! The boys fried a turkey for the third year in a row! We had an amazing dinner at Granny and Poppa's house and went to visit with Hossie later in the afternoon! Jack was quite the performer all weekend and smiled at everyone he saw! He was so happy!
We also celebrated Aunt Jennifer's birthday on Wednesday night at "The Hat" in Gainesville! Jack flirted with most of the people around him and loved sitting in Aunt Jennifer's lap! He even helped her open a few gifts!
As you can see from some of the pictures...our little man has a new smile! He grins as wide as he can showing all of his gums! He thinks it is very funny! We do too! He also loves to stand on the couch and hold on to the back cushions...yet another thing that he thinks is really funny! Basically, as long as someone is watching him...he thinks whatever he is doing is funny! We are loving every minute of it!

We are going to get our Christmas tree today and finish putting up some of the decorations! We are so excited about the holidays this year with our little holiday angel!

Big Baby Jack and Class Reunions!














We are having a GREAT November! The weather is awesome...a little chilly at times though! Saturday morning was 19! Yikes! Jack is looking cute in his little blue coat! Dylan came over to play one night! We had lots of fun! We went to Katie's 10 year high school reunion this weekend and got to see Cousin Jade and his three boys at Hossie's! It was a great weekend! We can't wait for Thanksgiving this week! It's our favorite!

Jack had a cough this week but it is feeling much better! He weighed 18 lbs. 7ozs. Wednesday when we went to see Dr. G! What a big boy!

He is really starting to rock on hands and knees and is ready to start moving! We dont think it will be much longer before he is crawling...but we are not rushing it! He is banging his toys together and playing his drum! He is also starting to hold his hands high over his head and smile really big when we say, "How big is the baby??? SOOOOOOOOOO Big!" He thinks he is too funny doing that!

We are starting to get the Christmas stuff out and will be a full blown Christmas wonderland this time next week! It is so exciting to think about our first holidays with our little man! He is just so wonderful!

Halloween and Disney












WOW! We are so happy to be back home! We have had a fun filled week in Savannah and at Disney World!!! We started out in Savannah for Halloween! We spent Halloween night with Nannie and Ugga on Bluff Drive! It was so much fun... and Jack was the cutest and happiest little lobster! He even got voted one of the cutest costumes at Isle of Hope! We met up with lots of friends and other families at a park for pizza before trick-or-treating! Jack won part of the costume contest!
We visited with Aunt Sally and Uncle John, and spent some good time with Grandbubba! Lots of visiting!

Mommy and Daddy headed off to Disney World for 2 days with Brian and Sarah! It was so much fun! The four of us had a blast together! Disney World was just amazing! Jack was such a big boy with Mimi and Papa Frank while we were away!

It was great to get the three of us back together and headed home! We are settling back in now and hopefully going to get some good rest tonight!!!

Pumpkins, Pumpkins...everywhere!

















We had a blast at Burt's Pumpkin Farm in Dawsonville this weekend! Granny and Poppa went with us and it was so great! The weather was perfect...just a wonderful Fall day in North Georgia! Jack loved all the pumpkins...even the ones that were bigger than he was! We got some to bring home and carve!

Steven and I went to see Wicked at the Fox on Saturday and had a really great time! If you have not seen that musical yet, you should really try!!! It was one of the best shows we have ever seen!

Six Months is Sensational!























We never thought we would be the parents of a 6 month old little boy! Jack is really becoming a sweet little boy! Our baby is growing up! He got a GREAT report from Dr. G this week and is healthy and happy! Jack is starting to sit up on his own, he rolls and twists wherever he wants to go! He can spin all the way around on the floor, but still isn't moving forward or backward...but he wants to! He lifts up his head, throws his arms back and kicks as hard as he can!
He is eating lots of baby food now and loves it all! So far, he hasn't met anything he doesnt like!
His new favorite thing to do is say "Dadadadadadada" all the time! He is really making all kinds of new noises!

Jack also got to meet his Uncle Britt! He was so happy to spend some time with him! We spent the weekend up in Gainesville while Daddy was in Charlotte for work!

We are so excited that Great Granny Altman is coming up next Thursday to visit for a week!!! Daddy has his race coming up next weekend!!! Exciting times in the Leonard house!

Fall is here!











Oh, the weather in Atlanta is just beautiful right now! We might still have some hot days, but the temperature is just perfect! Jack is loving being outside!

We had a nice visit with Mimi and Papa Frank this week! It was great to see them, and Jack was thrilled to get some time to play!
Jack is eating in his highchair at night at the table with Daddy and Mommy! We are such a little family! Jack eats and then drops every toy off the right side of his highchair! It's quite the game! He is also starting to say "Maaa" a lot.... Now, I am still quite sure that his first word will be Da-Da! But I have my hopes!
