thanksgiving weekend

We spent Thanksgiving in Appleton, WI with our cousins. Eddie had a blast playing with all of Sophia's toys. Sophie, on the other hand, was not so enthused by Eddie's presence and every time he tried to socialize with her, she would just run away. The item he seemed to play with the most was her baby doll stroller and bottles - this was to Gramps' dismay as he proclaimed "don't let him play with dolls!" But I just asserted that we want him to grow up to be a good daddy...and even more so, to be a good big brother when the time comes. He reacquainted himself with the toy turkey which made him smile again this year. And he liked being held by tall cousin Johnny. The rest of the weekend we enjoyed the nice weather and spent a lot of time outdoors, watching the ducks and helping Nonni plant tulip bulbs. Inside the house Eddie perfected his skills of going down several stairs and getting off of a bed by himself. Cousin Noah and his parents came up to visit for only a day because he was sick with a fever.
