Gobble, Gobble

The Pretekin Family was almost hit with a trio a bad colds over Thanksgiving, but:  I was able to keep a cold at bay with EmergenC, Zicam, and sheer willpower.  G had a bit of a runny nose, but wasn't fazed by it and got over it VERY quickly (thanks daycare, for building that immunse system up!).  M was the first to get hit the weekend before the holiday, but pulled out of it quickly and was just left with a slight cough on Turkey Day. 
Graham enjoyed celebrating his second Thanksgiving. He was able to enjoy all of the yummy fixings this year, and enjoy he did. All in all, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving and nice long weekend.

Party Time!

Pretekin Play Place

Our house does not have enough space to dedicate an entire room to a playroom for G and his massive amounts of toys, so I decided that I would make some room in the corner of our family room.  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

Graham is 1!

Happy 1st Birthday, Graham!

Stay tuned for a video montage of G's 1st birthday party and his one year stats!

UPDATE: Graham weighed in at 22 lbs. on the dot, which puts him in the 40th percentile.  He was 30.5 inches, staying in the 75th percentile.  He was in excellent health, although he definitely did not like being examined and REALLY did not like getting his shots.  Once they were finished, though, he calmed down very quickly and was his smiley, happy self again!

Happy Halloween!

Although he's too little to be out trick-or-treating, Graham still donned a dragon costume to celebrate his first Halloween! Since he hates being bundled up and wearing hats, I figured putting on the costume would result in a full on rebellion, but he didn't seem to mind.

Happy Halloween from our little dragon!
