Happy Thanksgiving!

Let me preface this by saying that while we've had a very exciting, fun week with Nash, Ray and I have also had our minds on something so sad it's hard to even think about. Ray's adorable 2 year old nephew Parker has been sick with leukemia and passed away this weekend. If anyone is inclined, his family is asking for donations to be made to Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation of Volusia County, c/o The Underwood’s, 305 E. International Speedway Blvd, Suite 2-197, Deland, FL 32724. On to Nash. Nash is so strong and learns so quickly, it seems like there is a new accompishment every day. He is chatting away saying Mama, Dada, baby boy, and me me me me me. He signals when he wants something. He drinks from a sippy cup and through a straw. He pulls himself up on everything and crawls into every space. He wants to eat whatever we're eating. He loves to go on long walks to the river and sit on the rocks and let the sun shine on his face. He loves to shop! He sits in his stroller and takes in everything around him. He's such a smiley guy too. He always returns stranger's smiles. When we go out to eat he sits in his high chair and eats cheerios and plays. He's just so awesome and so easy. We're so lucky!! Here are a bunch of pictures to make up for lost time. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Nash can't wait to eat smoked turkey and sweet potatoes and stuffing and cranberry sauce. MMMMmm. We're sorry we didn't get to go to Florida so see Grammy and Grampy and to introduce Nash to his great-Nanny, but we'll make it down soon!
