6 Months Old--How Time Flies!

Fischer turned 6 months old yesterday! Can you believe it?!

His teeth are much more obvious, now, as you can see! Also, check out the Fisch Finder for a Thanksgiving Day video.

We had a nice Thanksgiving by Grammy Pam and Grandpa Bill in Trempealeau, WI (near LaCrosse). Uncle Nate was there--he and Joe came from Tomahawk where Joe had been hunting by Grandpa Ken's since the Friday before. He only got one deer, though, despite lots of cold time spent in the woods.
Fischer did really well traveling over 4 hours in the car to and from Trempealeau. He slept the majority of both car trips. I waited to stop and feed him until he was good and ornery, otherwise he was not so interested in eating as he was in looking out the window or staring at the ceiling of the car. I kept the car running and stopped in the parking lot of a restaurant while I joined him in the back seat to nurse and change him. It went much better than I expected. It also helped that we were on the road both times in daylight. Before we had him, I would've taken off after work and driven in the evening. As it was, Fischer and I got an early start on Thursday--after he was well-fed and freshly diapered. That's the way to do it :) Joe and Nate left from Tomahawk on Thursday morning, too, so we all arrived at Grammy and Grandpa's within an hour or so of each other. We had dinner later in the evening.
Grammy was very happy to help give Fischer his bath :) While drying off, he was showing off how tall he's gotten by stretching out his chubby legs. I guess we'll see officially what his measurements are at his check-up tomorrow!

Friday, my boys and I headed to Minnesota to see Joe's Aunt Mary and her hubby who's also named Joe. They live in a nature preserve--BEAUTIFUL!!! They have a pair of German shepherds. Fischer enjoyed meeting "Will". We enjoyed a relaxing visit and some super-yummy Thanksgiving leftovers.
When we returned to daycare this week, I could tell that Fischer was excited to be back at school. He was so happy and excited to see everyone--he must've been bored with all of us grownups over the weekend! He really is a happy boy. Often when I'm picking Fischer up in the afternoon from his classroom, his teachers will say, "You're taking our happiest baby!"

We are thankful for our little boy, each other, our families, and our friends. We hope everyone had a good time on Turkey Day, too.

Fischer goes to the doctor tomorrow for his 6 month check-up and shots. I'll update the blog again--probably over the weekend--with his latest stats.

Take care!!!
