Nicholas's first Thanksgiving was spent with his Rasmussen cousins. He had a great time and enjoyed his first bite of turkey (pictured). Everyone was more than willing to help out with caring for Nicholas; so helpful that he didn't get a great nap in as everyone was "checking on him," cousins are so helpful :)! We've included some pictures of our trip. Molly the dog wasn't all too sure about Nicholas's intentions but enjoyed hanging out by his high chair around meal time.
We had a pretty healthy November. Nicholas got his second flu shot (you have to get two if it's your first year) and is getting monthly Synagis shots. Synagis helps prevent major complications of RSV, a respiratory virus.
He is up to 18 pounds and is rolling and starting to sit by himself. He loves to stand. We make his baby food. It's actually pretty tasty and easy to do. No wonder why he's gaining so well.
We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. We'll try to post more in December.

What a neat picture with all the Rasmussen cousins head to head. That was a good idea. Nicholas, you continue to amaze us with your attentiveness and continued growth. Keep up that good work. How great that you even got to taste the turkey. Although, the turkey bib didn't look too "used". We think it would be best for you to break it in a lot more so your Moms have to keep cleaning it.
ReplyDeleteNow, the big holiday is just around the corner. Hope you are ready for Santa's visit. I know I might get a lump of coal but that won't be what you get because you have been so good. Even thought the Hawkeyes fell on their faces against both the Bucky Badgers and the Brutal Buckeyes you continue to wear your black and gold with pride. We will do the suffering down here and question what could have been this season. The Hawks really needed one Nicholas Mancuso at linebacker to shore up the defense. Guess that's still a little ways off.
Hugs and kisses to you all.
Love, Judy/Dave
First of all it wasn't Megan and I that went in the room, it was Carter and Caleb (if wrestling outside the door counts). Anyways we enjoyed having you at our house Nicholas and I am honored to say that I fed you your first Thanksgiving Day meal! I hope to see you soon!
