Thanksgiving

Miss Afton was busy this thanksgiving with a trip to Fremont to meet all kinds of people followed by an active Thanksgiving back home meeting even more family. She enjoyed every minute of it and slept 7 1/ 2 hours on Sunday!!! (Gina, that beats your 7 hour Tuesday miracle)

What kind of city is this!!

When you buy a house in the city you do not expect this outside your window. Unfortunately we did not get the camera in time to catch this creature munching on what is left of my herb garden but we did manage to get a shot in the lot next door.

Afton and Steve

Afton thinks Steve's stupidity is quite hilarious.

rollin rollin rollin...

Miss Action Afton rolled over today!!! She was on her tummy and though she may have already been positioned to her advantage she ended up on her back. It was very exciting. 

Here are some other shots from playtime.

First Visit to Barnes and Noble

Afton made a trip to Barnes and Noble this morning to meet all the ladies Sean works with. It was as if a siren went off announcing our arrival and all the older women came running to ohh and ahh. A random old lady  came up to us and said the baby was so beautiful and then burst into tears. It was an odd moment for everyone.

The Stink Bug Gets a Bath

Now that her cord is all gone we tried out the tub...it did not go so well. We may have to go back to sponge baths for a bit.

Grandma Comes to Visit

Grandma Gabel came for a visit and to help us out while we both went back to work. She and Afton became fast friends. She even took Afton out for Ice Cream!
