Month Five - November

Ben's appetite really picked up this month!  He loves his rice cereal and enjoys the process of eating.  I'm so thankful!  I know a lot of parents struggle with getting their kids to eat, but Ben gets so excited when the spoon comes towards him.  For now he's just eating rice cereal, prunes and peas, but he doesn't shy away from trying new foods.

So messy!

Ben's first Thanksgiving was spent in Florida - which was really fun!  Unfortunately, Matt had blown through a lot of vacation days this year between Ireland and Ben so we couldn't travel for Thanksgiving.  We're lucky to have some amazing neighbors so we were able to have Thanksgiving dinner with them.  They even took Ben for us for a few hours so we could put up our Christmas decorations outside!  It was really nice to be home for a holiday and have a nice, relaxed day as a family of three.

The weather was really nice for November so Ben and Mama got in the habit of going for walks in the afternoon - and Ben loved them!  He really does like being outside and from his stroller he could look up and around.  He's so inquisitive!

Ben still doesn't like sleeping at night very much, but we're hopeful he'll get better at it soon!
