I am a slacker...

November was a busy month. A crazy. But busy month.

Bradley turned 7 months.
I went home to visit San Diego.
I turned 20.
My bil came home from his mission.
Thanksgiving.

So now for some details...
Bradley turned 7 months. whoo hoo! He is getting so much bigger. He has hair now, that sticks up...its great. He is sitting up more and more on his own and for longer periods of time. He is eating a ton. Bottles no longer cut it...he wants substance. He is a big fan of his fruits and VEGETABLES! I am so thankful he is not a picky baby. He eats everything he is given. I love it. It makes it easier. He is a great traveler. Flying back and forth to Texas/CA/Texas/CA again... he did great. Feeding him as we take off and giving him the binks to suck on works wonders. We have gotten really lucky and sat by some great people who have not minded his fasination with grabbing at them, "swatting"at everything and "talking". I think  I have gotten lucky with everything with him. Pregnancy, delivery, recovery, new baby stages and now that he is growing and starting to teeth he is great.It really helps when you are doing this solo...well minus the hubby. Luckily I have a great family support system. 
That reminds me he got his very first tooth. Monday the 7th I felt that liitle sucker. Bottom left. I was waiting for it to get really miserable for him but it never really happened. So thankful.
I went home for a week to visit my mom and sisters. It was so much fun. We went to sea world on my birthday. Scott called me that morning and then again that night. One of the first things he said was "finally I am not married to a teenager" haha I love him.
I came home to Texas to meet my brother in law! He had been serving an amazing mission in Ecuador. It was really so great to meet him and see just how similar the hubby is to his younger brother. Eric the bil and I are about 18 months apart. We graduated high school the same year. We have a lot in common and seem to get along great. I was so relieved. 
Thanksgiving was different. First one being married and yet...no hubby. Sad day. It was a lot of fun we made some pies and of course tons of great food! I loved it. Only missing Scott.
*Scott was out for two months on a mission he has been back on base for a little less then a week. He is doing well and is loving all the packages he has been getting. He is such a great husband/father/friend/son/brother. We all miss him and love him very much. (Although I always say I miss him and love him the most)
