Happy Thanksgiving!

Today was Thanksgiving and also Jack's 6 month birthday.  I can't believe it's been 1/2 a year already.  His Meme got him a little cake and a present to celebrate.

We went to Memaw's for lunch and completely stuffed ourselves.  The next day we drove to Jeremy's parents lake house and spent the weekend there.

Baby Food

Jack had his first taste of real baby food today. For several weeks now, he has been really watching us when we eat. It kind of makes me feel bad to eat in front of him. He looks at me like ‘Where’s mine Mommy?’ He’s just a week shy of six months, so today I decided he was ready to eat real baby food. I choose green peas for his first meal. For the first bite, he made sort of a weird face and gaged a little bit. It was not what he was expecting at all. I’m guessing green peas are not going to be his favorite. He did pretty well after that and ate a good bit. Hopefully, with a full belly, he will sleep through the night, but I’m not going to hold my breath.



Saying Goodbye

After working almost 13 years at the same place, I have decided to quit my job and become a full time Mom. Although I will miss my friends (and my salary), I feel in my heart this is the right thing to do. I have been fretting over this decision since I found out I was pregnant, but I think I always knew what my final choice would be. I am excited to start this new journey, and I want to thank my husband and the good Lord for giving me the opportunity. To all of my work friends, I will truly miss you, and I hope that we can keep in touch.
