A Month of Firsts

November has been a month of firsts for our family. Clark rolled over for the first time on Nov. 4th. He is now a champion roller.
Clark also started eating solids. He absolutely loved it for just over a week. I was all excited thinking that I knew what I was doing and this should be easy. Then out of the blue he stopped loving solids and cries every time I try to put a spoon in his mouth.
Josh had a birthday party for his 9th birthday. It was two weeks after his actual birthday. We couldn't find a weekend that didn't have something already going on, so we finally squeezed it in on a Friday night. Happy Birthday Josh!!! We are so glad he is part of our family. Josh had a soccer tournament this month. His team took 1st place!!!
Sometimes we just can't hold Clark anymore (he's almost 20 lbs!) so he gets to go in the backpack. At first he loves it, as you can see.
He is very good while in the backpack, but after awhile he just can't hold up his head any longer.
Josh and Andrew helped make their first apple pie for Thanksgiving. You'd thought I was torturing them, but in the end even Josh said it was kind of fun. It was yummy too!
On Thanksgiving we enjoyed having dad home during the day, so we put up our Christmas tree. It's this first time we have used the tree. We also put up the train (for the first time) that runs around the Christmas tree and plays Christmas songs. Ty loves the train and will lay on his tummy and watch it go around and around for a long time.
Clark is also learning to sit on his own. He is not quite there yet, but Andrew was having fun helping him practice.

Tyson is now sitting at the table with everyone else and enjoying a big boy bed. (Firsts for Ty this month)
