Sixteen Weeks Old

   WHOA!!  It has been a super busy week around here.  And, I am not sure who is more tired - my mommy & daddy or me.  I'm worn out.
   To start the week, last Sunday we went back to visit our friends at Parkwood Community Church, and it was so fun to show old friends how much I've grown. 
   Then mommy and daddy seemed really busy around the house, getting ready for our guests this week.  And, they had to thaw out the turducken they had ordered for the big festivities.  They explained to me that we would be celebrating my first ever Thanksgiving - and I have so much to thank the Lord for.
   On Wednesday, my uncle Henry and cousin Natalie arrived from Houston.  My auntie Althea couldn't come because she is expecting to bring me a new cousin in about 20 weeks :)  - It was so fun to meet some of my family and get to see folks who look kinda look like my daddy.  Mommy was really busy in the kitchen most of the day getting ready for the next day.
   On Thursday, my uncle Charlie, auntie Abby, and new cousin Parker arrived from Wisconsin.  It was super fun to see my baby cousin and know that we will be growing up together in the years ahead.  Then a bit later, my uncle Marc, auntie Olivia, and cousins Seth & Caleb arrived from Virginia.  I loved getting to meet my daddy's family (and look forward to meeting mommy's family next month in Georgia). And, they all kept telling me how cute I am.  
   But boy did we realize how I am an only child - I am not used to all this noise and all these people.  My mommy did her best to keep me on my schedule but there were times I was having way too much fun with all my family and didn't want to sleep for my usual full-length nap-time.  So, I'm actually sleeping a lot today - I told mommy what to tell all of you while I catch up on my sleep :).
   Unfortunately, mommy and daddy were so busy spending time with family and cooking food that they didn't take many pictures of me.  Can you believe that they didn't take a single picture of me with my cousins or aunties/uncles?  What were they thinking??


Here are the few that they did manage to take:

Sorry there are no videos this week.  My mommy is falling down on the job :) -- or was just too busy cooking and cleaning.
