Thanksgiving Break

So, we went to the Tellus Museum. It was really great. Dax really loved panning for gems and digging for dinosaur fossils. Afterwards, we met the family at Wallace BBQ for linner and had cupcakes for Dax's bday.
Sunday we got up and went to Seaside. The weather was perfect. Dax and Brooks were good boys. Brooks seemed to have enjoyed the sand. Dax did too. Dax now has a new nickname "sandman". We saw him licking his fingers several times, and we would yell at him to stop. I obviously couldn't watch him the whole time at the beach but he consumed a lot. That night, he was up throwing up sand. He said he wouldn't eat sand again. GREAT. I had to get barfed on and changed the sheets on the bed several times. I did get a little concerned, but he finally settled down after 2 AM.
Brooks at some point got his third tooth and on Nov 22 he was able to get from laying down to a seated position. Then on Sunday he began taking 4 step crawls. He looked like an elephant. Any day now we should have a crawler on our hands. The word easy will now be erased from my brain for a while. I'm going to be chasing him like crazy. He really loves his walker too. He comes into the kitchen and tries to get into all the cabinets. He really likes the lazy susan. He gets very upset if I push him away. Nov 28, he started saying DADADADA. This makes Brian happy. When we woke up this morning, Nov 29, Brooks says "hey, dada". So sweet.

Dax told me today that he wished he could go back to he's old preK class. I asked why of course and he says" because we didn't take long naps, like we do in this class."
Thanksgiving was great. We went to mimi and pops and spent the night. The Kilby's came for linner this year. We had so much food and the company was great. We took our yearly family pictures. I hope to post a few soon.
