November...Where did it go?

November was full of craziness in the Walker house. David was sick and went to the doctor almost once a week (colds, ear infections, thrush, a breathing machine). So between the doctor visits and not sleeping well, we did manage to get a few things done.

On November 11 David got a new cousin, Mallory Noelle Auttonberry. Isn't she a cute little girl?!? Hopefully we will get to meet her in person next month.

Right before Thanksgiving David started to push himself up to a sitting position when he was laying down. And then he started to crawl - well I don't think we could technically call it crawling, but he started flopping and scooting around. If you turned your head he wasn't there when you looked his way again!

Here are a few of our favorite seven month pictures.

We flew to New Orleans to spend Thanksgiving with all of Mindi's family. Aunt Jess and Uncle Rob flew in from Nashville and Aunt Kayla came from Atlanta. Too bad soon-to-be Uncle Scott had to work and couldn't come play.

We spent Thanksgiving Day at Aunt Joey and Uncle Lonnie's new and improved house. Everybody was there! We ate good food, played games, took naps, played with the dogs, and even had a surprise baby shower for Stacy and Steven (pretty sure it's a girl!). Here's Mum with all the grandkids, grandkids husbands/wives, and great grandkids.

The next day we had Christmas at Nana and Papaw's. David got lots of fun toys, but I think he liked the paper more than the presents!

He loves his tool bag. Look who got wrenches!

David really liked being outside at Nana and Papaw's. He got to swing, he played with bubbles for the first time, and he rode the four-wheeler!

David also got to see some of Mindi's friends.

We had a great time in Louisiana and were so glad to see everybody. Can't wait for Aunt Kayla's wedding in June!
