Silas got to visit with his Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Helton while we were in Indiana.
He rolled over from front to back completely unassisted for the first time while at their house.

Silas and I hung out at Crazy Mocha in Lawrenceville (avoiding our cold house). He got to play with his new wooden teether. He seems to really like it.

We met Maya and Ryder for brunch at Pamela's today. It felt just like old times, except now it's even better because we have Silas with us.

Kevin and Eric went boating together on the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers today and afterward Kevin came over for dinner and a little quality time with Silas.
This is the last time Silas gets to play with this teether... Guthrie stole it. The first of many such happenings I'm afraid.

Joy and Ceci came over for a visit. Ceci borrowed Silas's high chair to eat. She is 8 and a half months old. Silas was fascinated watching her eat. I think he's looking forward to being in the tall chair himself soon. There are two more pictures of Ceci and Joy on our flickr site here.

Silas and I spent a couple of hours at Big Dog coffee house on the South Side with Susie and Ruby... until Silas and Ruby simultaneously melted down due to lack of adequate nap time. This was before things went down hill...

Silas and I met up with Ruby, Susie and Carmin at a coffee shop on the south side. It was fun watching the babies hanging out (with a little help from us)
I love this one... it looks like they're sharing a secret.

The Sansing family gathering ended today. It was a great visit. One more reference to the tons of extra photos on our flickr site here...
Eric made breakfast for us all before Robin, Quinn and Zoe hit the road. He also had time to take this video of Zoe doing sign language for Silas.

We all had so much fun together for Thanksgiving, though we really tried to cram a lot in to our last full day together and things got a little stressful at times. Overall, it was still a fabulous day.
So, we started out with brunch at Pamela's
The women + Silas then went to REI and bought some hats...
Then it was back to the house for leftovers and turkey soup, and a little more quality family time.

The day after Thanksgiving was a lazy day of hanging out at the Grandparents hotel all day, spending quality time together as a family. This is the only Silas photo I managed to take all day.

Everybody together at the table (except me - I'm taking the picture)
Grandpa Bob was really excited to give Silas this USC onesie
Tante spent a lot of time holding Silas. Feel the love!
Again, there are even more photos on our flickr site here.

The whole Sansing side of the family is visiting for Thanksgiving. There are many more pictures on the flickr site here, but here are a couple of highlights from today.
and, the video of Grandpa Bob entertaining Silas. It's a little dark, but I still like it.
