Jake's First Thanksgiving

Well, Jake hated the mashed potatoes and he threw up immediately following our lunch. We were so excited to see how he would react to the mashed potatoes. He started gagging the second they reached his tongue. Maybe he didn't like the texture on top of his very sensitive gagger. We put him to bed around 7:30 and by 9:00 he had thrown up in his bed. He proceeded to throw up on every one of us, every pair of pajamas, every blanket and all but one crib sheet. It was horrible. He got the stupid stomach bug AGAIN!

I ended up taking him to the doctor yesterday as he had continued throwing up pretty much everything he ate through Sunday evening. He's fine though. Thank goodness Ryan and Laura let us borrow their carpet cleaner. Between Jake and the dogs, it was bad. Yeah, the dogs got sick too. It was awesome. I've just been praying we don't get it. Nana Nee and Papa Frank both got it when they got back home on Saturday. We can all thank day care for that one!

Other than the vomit and poop, Thanksgiving was good. Even though Jake was sick, he was still smiling and having a good time playing. We got our Christmas tree up and he likes touching it. He loves looking at his ginormous stocking too. I still can't wait to take him to the Trail of Lights. Oh, and he likes the wrapping paper. He wants to unwrap while I try to wrap.

Hope you all had a Happy Turkey Day! Christmas will be here in 23 days. Yikes! We'll try to keep Jake's drinking down to a minimum (picture)!
