For Thanksgiving, we went to my sister's house. It was pretty nice. Jeff's family was there, as well as our own, so it was a pretty big party. Nora, as usual, realized that it was a special day and refused to take a nap. We had been hoping she would take her normal morning nap, which would help get her through the day. Luckily, she didn't get too cranky. Nora enjoyed lots to eat on Thanksgiving. She had some squash, peas, potatoes, sweet potatoes, spinach souffle, cheese and crackers. She also got a little apple pie filling and a few bites of pumpkin. She learned that she could get everyone to laugh by spitting out her food in a loud and messy fashion. Andy and I had been working on teaching her to say no thanks (using signs) when she was done eating, but she couldn't resist all the attention. Another big favorite of Nora's was my sister's cell phone. I think she held onto it for most of the day!
The day after Thanksgiving, Andy and I drove up to Maine to visit his family. We decided it would be a good time to drive up to Damariscotta to visit Andy's Grandparents, since they haven't had the opportunity to see Nora since last Christmas. It turned out to be a really great day! Andy's grandparents both enjoyed watching Nora play in the middle of the room - she provided great entertainment for all involved. It was great to see Andy's family as well. We got to see a lot of people that we don't get to see very often.
We spent Saturday in Maine as well, and just enjoyed the day with Nora's grandparents. Nora enjoyed playing with some beads almost all day. She would put them on, take them off, put them on, take them off, then put them all on the ground, pick them up...amazing how something so simple kept her busy for so long!
