Happy Thanksgiving

We are feeling very thankful this morning!

Aidan is doing great! We actually can't believe how well he is taking everything. He is definitely still getting used to everyone & prefers to be held most of the time, but gradually is willing to explore on his own a bit. He has mastered crawling & can already pull himself up and take a few steps on his own. I think as soon as he feels comfortable w/his new home he'll be walking. He is starting to lose that "deer in the highlights" look and we are slowly getting to see his personality...peek-a-boo is guaranteed to bring smile, as is blowing raspberries and gently tickling him under his chin. He LOVES to eat and has already devoured two entire cans of Gerber Puffs. Surprisingly he has already adjusted to the time change and is sleeping at appropriate times. In fact, both nights he has slept over 13 hours! Of course, we know he may just be exhausted from all the changes he is experiencing and that this "honeymoon" period of good sleep may not last, but for now its pretty nice.

Andy is doing very well in his new role as the big brother. He has his moments of jealousy, but overall has been good. He constantly wants to be near Aidan and loves to make him smile. He brings him toys, gives him kisses & feeds him Puffs. He gets very upset when Aidan cries...the 1st night, Aidan cried for about 15 mins when Chris was putting him to bed and Andy was very worried and kept saying "Aidan sad, Andy sad". In the morning, when Aidan wakes up, Andy runs into our room screaming "Aidan, Aidan, Aidan...Hello Brother!!!"....how sweet is that???

Here are some of the best pictures from our 1st days home. I probably only have about 10 mins left with both kids napping, so I think I'll take a shower instead of writing comments for each one...I think by all the smiles you'll get the idea that the general feeling in the Gorski house is happy and thankful!
