His name is right there, just in case we forget

I have found that there is no mistaking our kid and his stuff. It is hard to do. Not only is he absolutely unforgettable (of course I would say that, I'm his mom), but his name is also on practically everything....spoons, dishes, sippy cups and bibs. So, in case we forget, we have a trusty label to remind us.

Speaking of sippy cups, JR has finally mastered the art of drinking from a sippy cup. He is so proud about his feat that he chatters about it while at the dinner table and is hard pressed to let go of the cup....sipping even though he isn't thirsty. He sips because he can. And he is so very happy about it.He's recently warmed up to bananas, too. We can now officially say that he eats everything...

And now to the new toofuses. We are excited to announce that teeth grow in pairs. Yes, JR has two new teeth coming in on top. Four teeth for tackling corn on the cob! With the new teeth, though, JR has decided he is a big boy and has effectively given up the booby juice. This obviously bothers me more than it bothers him...I guess it is just not the hip thing to do anymore! Don't worry...he's definitely not starving, what with the 23 pounds he is carrying around, not to mention his size 4 1/2 double wide feet.

The Parrish family has kept busy the last week or so...filling our days with tailgating, cheering for Trust intern Patrick, football wins and upcoming playoff games (go Terriers--beat JMU!), rashy viruses, celebrating birthdays (Happy Birthday GANCE!), preparing for a Thanksgiving feast at Emme's house, and a LONG weekend-yay!

So in case we don't post, have a happy turkey day everybody! Enjoy your feast wherever you are and be thankful....I know I am.
