Celebrating 6 months and Thanksgiving!

Last week, Patrick turned six months old! We celebrated by heading down to LA for a Thanksgiving celebration with the Katrin, Dave, and the Carriero family.

This was our second year spending LA with the Carrieros and we all had a great time. Katya (Tido's mom) cooked an amazing spread and the company was excellent. I did my best to document the day :)

Katrin and Dave were sweet enough to put us up for a few days. They're expecting their own little one in a few weeks so it was really fun to catch up and give them a little taste of what's coming their way shortly!

Once we got back from LA, we spent the week hanging inside due to lots of rain, and we also had Patrick's six month doctor appointment.  The little guy (or not so little guy) is 19 lbs 3 oz and 27" inches long. His head is impressively in the 85th percentile! He only cried a little during the shots and enjoyed eating the paper off the exam table :)

We also had one other big milestone this week... I finally hired a babysitter to provide a little daytime relief. Her name is Morgan and she comes twice a week for a couple of hours each time. This has been really great for me and means that I'm finally feeling somewhat caught up on laundry, cooking, and life! After four months of just me and Patrick during the days, I couldn't be happier for the help and the company! 

Heading down to LA. The drive started as all smiles even if it didn't stay that way!

We stopped in to see the Carrieros for lunch before heading down to Dave and Katrin's house. 

And then we came back to the Carriero house the next day for Thanksgiving!

The next day, back at the Wynnes, Patrick was flashing his teeth. Then, we ate delicious grilled pizza cooked by Dave after Patrick went to bed!

We also got to see Ryan and Ashley! And we went to Venice Beach for a little photoshoot with Dave and Katrin. 

On the way back to the bay area, Patrick had to do an outfit change (of course).

Now back at home, hanging indoors and admiring the rain!

And finally, some pics of Patrick's six month doctors appointment.
