What a great day we had! Just hanging out at the house this morning so that Jared could teach Einar how to clap. We did some cooking for dinner and cleaned the place up a bit for our guests. While we were doing the latter, Einar and I were downstairs folding his laundry and he wandered out of his bedroom into the hallway. I had already shut all of the doors off of the hallway so that he couldn't go exploring things like the bathroom or guest rooms that aren't fully baby-proof. He'd been gone a few minutes so I went out there to check on him and he had his hands on the second step leading upstairs and his left foot on the first step. While he was looking at me, he kind of grinned and then pulled up his right foot. Einar climbed his first step on Thanksgiving Day 2005! After that, the babygate went up on his room. I'm not ready for stair climbing yet!
Later this afternoon, two of Jared's co-workers, Cole and Isaac, came over for Thanksgiving dinner. We had yummy turkey, green beans, broccolli salad, mashed potatoes, roasted butternut squash, and roasted sweet potato cheesecake for dessert. It was great. Einar was devouring the turkey. The guys took back a couple of plates for the marines on duty today.
Tommorrow we're going to go watch the Harry Potter movie in shifts. Since the movie theater is down the street, We'll take turns walking down there to see the show and the other one will stay home and play with Einar. Maybe there will be a trip to the pool too! It's still in the 70's down here, sorry to tell those of you who are bundled up in sweaters and wearing your jackets.
