November

This month is flying by!  I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week!  We have been busy with school and enjoying our weekends as much as possible.  Mack is growing and changing so much!  We took him for a check up 2 weeks ago.  He weighs 32 pounds (90th percentile) and 36 inches tall (95th percentile)!!  He has GIANT feet, currently wearing a size 9 and can even fit into a 10!  Crazy!  

The guys spent some time working out back last weekend: 

Running errands is always entertaining:

Mack's newest thing is to squat down and shout "tackle" then he runs at us and takes us down.  You can imagine how proud Scott is.  :)   

 

Mack is developing his understanding of colors.  He can point out and identify blue, yellow, and purple most of the time .  Orange, green, and pink sometimes.  However, whenever we point to something and ask him "what color is this"...he always replies "bwoooo" (blue).  Too funny, we will keep working.  His vocabulary continues to grow, he amazes us with new words everyday!  Mack is beginning to play more independently.  He will go to his room and play with his little people or cars or sit down and read books without bringing everything to us - this is a big change.  We truly feel like he is growing into a little boy. 

He loves to line up his toys:

 And he LOVES to play outside:

We are driving to Reno next week to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with Grandma Laura.  We are so excited - will be great to see our family!!  I am guessing that Mack will really enjoy this trip and his grandma will be amazed.  Soxy and Moon especially love when we go to Reno, they love the fresh air and change of scenery.  We heard there is some good snow in the mountains - Scott and I are hoping we might get to go snowboarding over the weekend.  Scott taught me to snowboard right after we first met and it is something we really enjoy!

Have a great week!
