Who knew Thanksgiving would be so fun! The husbeast and I got to spend time together, he came into baby girls room and would watch her so I could take breaks (showers, eat etc) and then sometimes when I was feeding her he brought his laptop and sat with us. All the while a big kosher turkey was cooking in the oven. At the last 30 minutes once the turkey was done he took the baby in the moby wrap because she was fussy and assisted me while I cooked potato's, green-beans, gravy and yams. During all this she fell asleep in her wrap and he was able to put her into the swing where she slept until halfway through our meal. So far at home anytime we have attempted to eat together she's been awake and one of us had to hold her. He did an excellent job on the turkey!

It was nice to do the cooking with my husband as a team, all the while keeping an eye on baby girl. I have been kindle obsessed all day, I have simply been glued to the Amazon reviews which there are in total at this time over 500 reviews. It's funny because maybe 50 of them are from people who own the device. I have seen two negative reviews from people that own it, and dozens of 5 star reviews from people who own it. I am so excited about it. The possibilities are endless. Knitting charts, knitting patterns, directions. Anything you can store in a .html, .txt or uncomplicated .pdf file can be converted onto the Kindle. FOR FREE! You can also pay .10 cents per file if you don't want to have to connect it to your computer. It also includes free wireless internet. Granted the browser isn't going to be fully functional but the reviews seem okay. I've already sent two knitting patterns through and once my device arrives I'll let you guys know how they transcribe onto the kindle.

Sydney had a huge day today! She grabbed things, on purpose! She's been able to hold things in her hand for a week or so now, but I doubt she knew she was doing it. Today she was batting at the light up butterfly on her boppy mat like she's been doing the last week but I watched her grab a wing and hold onto it, then she did it when the husbeast was looking and then while changing her she grabbed the tag on it and pulled it WAY down and I was able to catch a photo because I had the camera next to her waiting for such an opportunity! I was very excited about this so I had to share even if it is so very very not knitting related, but this entire POST is not knitting related, except now I have said the word knitting two times, oh make that three!

So we celebrated thanksgiving in our PJ's and had a very relaxing time, the cooking wasn't nearly as laborious as we both had imaged.
