Happy Thanksgiving!

We had Thanksgiving dinner at the new Timberlake Lodge...it was a nice buffet with lots of berries for Paul. Raspberries are definitely his favorite! He didn't really eat anything else besides a huge plate of berries. We tried ham and potatoes but he didn't want anything to do with them.

We were able to get a few cute pictures of Paul in his cute sweater vest. After we got him dressed, he went right to the full length mirror to check himself out!

Funny hat

Some more pictures of Paul playing in the cupboard...he really likes this little mixing bowl because it fits perfectly on his head. The "lip" of the bowl even looks like the brim of a hat so when he was wearing it, he almost looked like he was wearing an old-fashioned police helmet. He looked pretty funny marching around with this on his head!

Playing...

Just a few pictures of Paul playing in the tupperware cupboard...this has become a favorite in the last few days. He loves to put them on his head and then tip his head to the side to make them crash to the floor. Oh, what cheap entertainment!

Also, he has been really into pointing at the camera when I try to take pictures of him. He also LOVES to immediately look at the pictures on the camera which I remember my nephew Jack liking to do as well.

Haircut!

It was definitely time for Paul to get a haircut...he has a funny, swirly cowlick on the back that was getting pretty wild! Carolyn let him sit on the counter while she did the cut which I think he really liked. He hardly moved a muscle while she quickly did her cutting.
I love his "little boy" look!

Measuring tape

Paul has always liked the measuring tape...it's nothing special, a "freebie" promotional item but he loves to pull the tape out and push the button to make it retract. Lately, he'll wait til I'm watching to push the button and then will laugh like crazy when the tape gets sucked back up. Regardless of all the great toys he has, this cheap tape measure is a favorite!

Hanging out

Just some pictures of Paul from last week...check out the cute Anytime Fitness shirt which all of a sudden is pretty snug so I thought I'd better get some pictures before it goes into the box. His latest trick is to dance on the couch which we may have to stop pretty soon.

Oh, Christmas Tree!

I thought I would get a jump on the craziness of December by putting up our Christmas tree. Diane found this 3 foot tree and some really cute little ornaments. We do have a bigger 6 foot tree that we used to put up but I didn't even bother last year because I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to keep Paul from pulling at it. I thought I would ease him into the idea of a tree by starting with this little one from Diane.

Paul loves this little tree! I know he is very tempted to inspect it closer (i.e. grabbing the ornaments) but so far he's just looked at it. We'll see how it goes...I love the second photo where it looks like he's contemplating if he should make his move towards the tree when I'm not looking!

P.S. I thought I was really ahead of the game by putting up our tree but yesterday we received our first Christmas card!!! Woah, someone is super organized!
