How fast the time has flown - I can't believe Buster is already almost 5 months old! We've almost survived a half a year! It's so fun to watch him learn and become more and more aware of the world around him. As I type this he is intently watching me - "what is mommy doing with her fingers? How does she make that noise?" He even stopped playing to watch me. I can see the wheels turning in his mind.
This year we have much to be thankful for - it was such a hectic, stressful year I'm just thankful we survived it! So in honor of Thanksgiving here is my list of 20 things I'm thankful for (in case you couldn't tell, I really like making lists :) )
- I am thankful for our house. It's more than I ever dreamed we would get.
- I am thankful that Buster is healthy.
- I am thankful that Buster is happy!
- I am thankful for Buster's goofy red mohawk.
- I am thankful that I finally finished my thesis!
- I am thankful for Saturday mornings (I get to sleep in).
- I am thankful for Big Jimmy.
- I am thankful for the Nintendo Wii - quite possibly the best gaming platform ever.
- I am thankful that Buster is beginning to be able to entertain himself so I can take these 5 minutes and blog about him.
- I am thankful that my cats have stopped pooping on the couch.
- I am thankful for all the help we received right after Buster was born.
- I am thankful for anesthesiologists.
- I am thankful for Buster's laugh.
- I am thankful that Classic Slice pizza is right by my house and oh so yummy! (I am also thankful that Chris told us about Classic Slice).
- I am thankful for my friends who have stood by us during this crazy crazy time.
- I am thankful for Buster's smile - it lights up a room.
- I am thankful that Buster smiles when he sees me. I think it's his way of communicating that he loves me
- I am thankful for pacifiers and swings
- I am thankful for my cats.
- I am thankful for my family without whose help we woudl surely be lost.
Now I challenge all of you to make your own Thanksgiving lists!
