Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was so fun this year since it was Joshua's first Turkey Day! Peter and I are truly thankful for the blessing of our son. Joshua and I flew to Houston on Tuesday and spent two days with my family. It was so nice to just relax and let other people take turns holding and playing with Joshua. He enjoyed eating in his new high chair at Grandma and Grandpa's house, and also found his foot. It seems like he hasn't stopped sucking on it since!

On Thanksgiving Day, my parents and Alicia spent the day at Salvation Army serving dinner, and Joshua and I met Peter at his parents' house. It was fun watching the Houston and Macy's Thanksgiving Day parades with Oksana, Peter's sister, and Elizabeth, Peter's cousin. Joshua also enjoyed the meal. While everyone was around the table eating, he sat on my lap. He managed to put his little fingers directly into the mush of the deviled egg on my plate! Everyone laughed because that is one of Peter's favorite parts of the meal too. After everyone was done, we gave him his first baby food...sweet potatoes! They were all over him, and his exploding diaper was all over me! I will save you and not post a picture of that. Life is always exciting with a baby around! Unfortunately, my camera batteries died on Thanksgiving, so I don't have any of those great pictures...I will post some as soon as I get them from Joshua's Pops!

Grandpa and Joshua had great bonding time as Joshua had his first piano lesson!




Auntie Alicia feeds Joshua cereal...he is a messy eater!











Grandma became Joshua's horse...this is a miracle if anyone knows how bad of a back my mom has had in the past! She always said that she wanted to be able to play with her grandkids and she is able to!
