Happy Thanksgiving!

This has been a whirlwind holiday weekend! Of course, Calan had many visitors and admirers....so much so that it has thrown off his whole sleep schedule! We're trying to get him back on track, but he is showing his personality more and more and let me tell you - he is very headstrong! Big surprise since Mommy and Daddy are too. He is very much fighting his naps now, so I have to put him in his swing and let him rock for about 20 minutes before falling asleep. Then I turn the swing off so he's not getting used to the motion while he sleeps. Last night he woke up at 3 AM and was very fussy. This is new, as he usually sleeps until around 5 AM for his "breakfast". Neils and I took turns and after 3 different times of getting up and pacifying him, he slept for another hour. We'll get it straight somehow and I know this will be a distant memory soon, but boy is it frustrating...especially since he was sleeping so well!

Regardless of all this, we had a nice Turkey Weekend with both of our families. Here are some pics of our fun:
