Ok, ok. This post is about a month late! It has been sitting in my drafts collecting dust. I totally forgot to post it! Better late than never! Here it is...Oh boy, what a Thanksgiving we had! Carter endured his first 8.5 hour car trip. He actually did GREAT, only starting to cry about 30 miles outside of Amarillo. The sad sad sad part for Mama was the nursing strike that started Tuesday morning and as of today is still going strong. Tomorrow will be one week of absolutely no nursing. I keep telling myself that it was the traveling and teething that is doing it. Carter had one tooth break through this weekend and at least two more on the way. I was hoping that being home would put things back to normal but that still hasn't happened. Hopefully this won't be permanent.
On to happier news, he has a great time visiting Grammy and Grampy in Amarillo. They had only seen Carter twice before. He was busy crawling all over the house and pouring on the Carter charm like only he can! Carter also got to meet his two Amarillo cousins, Maddy and Sean. They had a blast bouncing around on their trampoline in the backyard. They also have a cute tiny dog named Daisy that Carter went ballistic over. The boy LOVES dogs. Every time he saw a dog we would scream DOG, DOG! It doesn't matter if it's a toy, TV show or the real thing. He loves dogs. Dog is officially his first word.
Carter also got to experience his first snow! It wasn't fun snow though, he really only got to experience it as we were rushing to the car to drive home and he was being pummeled in the face by it. Luckily the snow turned to light rain and eventually to gray cloudy skies the rest of the drive home. Once again, he rocked the car ride and didn't cry once! For now, we are so happy to be home. We have about 3 weeks to rest before all the fun holiday rush starts up again.
Here are some photos from Carter's Amarillo Adventures.

Happy Thanksgiving!
nursing update: Carter never nursed again. Sad, sad mama. BUT, he loves the formula and now...I can sleep in, drink lots of wine, stay away from home for HOURS and drink more wine! Still sad, but loving the freedom : )
