22 weeks and Thanksgiving.

Cheering on the Huskers as they beat the Colorado Buffalos!

This is 22wks and 1d because with the hussle of the holiday I didn't get one picture of her first Thanksgiving. Such a bad mommy. I will have to get some from the relatives.

Izzy turned 22 weeks on her first Thanksgiving. She finally rolled from tummy to back again but it is still hit and miss. I think I'm going to have to accept she is not going to be a roller.

For Thanksgiving we went to Mark's Aunt Joni and Uncle Rick's in Hastings. It was nice to see everyone. For some of Mark's family it was the first time they got to meet Izzy. Everyone was very excited to meet her and she did very well with all the new people. She did have one melt down because she was hungary. Otherwise it went great. Next we went to my mom and dad's and we had a lot of cousins and aunts and uncles in town. Izzy got to meet fourth cousins. Yeah, it really goes back that far. It was just great getting together with everyone in our family like we use to. Our holidays were huge and I knew my third and fourth cousins well. But things change and people start to get busy with their own families and we just don't get together as often.

This weekend Mark and I went on our first date night in a long time. It was a really fun time and we really needed to have us time. Izzy stayed with Shannon. She is one of the girls from her daycare and she does a good job with Izzy.

We got our Christmas tree up and a few odds and ends maybe next weekend we can shoot for a few more things and work on finishing the Christmas shopping......wishful thinking.

Towards the middle of this week Miss Izzy really started to pull her head up. She is trying to sit on her own. Also she is grabbing everything. When I'm reading her a book she likes to touch the pages and flip them to the next. I can't believe how big she is getting.

At the end of this week Izzy could sit for a few seconds on her own and then topple over, but it won't be long and she'll be doing it on her own. Talk soon.

PS: Mark and I lost another old friend this week. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Neal Grummert's family.
