Happy Turkey-Chewin' Day!

Ah, the first in a long string of baby's first holidays....Thanksgiving. To be honest, I'm thankful for the obvious (family and friends) and nothing else-- mainly because I can't REMEMBER anything else. I seem to be walking from room to room with no real idea of why I'm there or how I got there. It's not just sleep deprivation, either... we're actually sleeping pretty well. It's more the incredible interruption of a sleep pattern, I think. During the night, it's up an hour, sleep for 2 or 3. During the day, it's pretty non-stop, with the occasional half-hour power nap thrown in. This results in some interesting juxtaposition... for example, today while putting the laundry away I found myself standing in front of the linen closet with two handfuls of underwear. I also brought a towel to the refrigerator. The up-side is that there's always something new for me to discover, just like Aidan. He found his reflection today, which entertained him for a good 15 minutes. He also found out how to pee against the laws of physics.... somehow getting his back wet but not his front. Odd. This alone will twist my tiny little mind into knots for the rest of the day. Ok, I have to run.... I think it's time to wash the soup and make some fried laundry.
