Turkey Day!

We had a really great Thanksgiving. The weather was pleasent too, the sun peeked out a bit! I made a lemon meringue pie for the first time. I always get nervous when baking new things and I forgot to bake the crust before putting the filling in! Ahh! But, it ended up turning out okay! Thank goodness! The Thompson's were nice enough to invite us into there home and feed us a yummy Thanksgiving dinner! Landon even had some mashed potatoes and jello! He has been doing great with his solid foods and it has been fun to feed him new foods and see his reaction to them. We sure did miss our family during this time but can't wait to see them soon!




It is tradition in my family to give the baby a turkey leg for the first Thanksgiving. Although Landon wasn't quite old enough to eat any turkey we had to get a picture of him at least holding it! Michele cooked a huge turkey so the leg was gigantic! He couldn't hold it on his own so mom and dad had to help him. He didn't know what to think.


Landon's first taste of mashed potatoes! As you can see he didn't like them at first but after a few times we couldn't give them to him fast enough!

I agree that giving your baby foods for the first time is always funny. whether they love it or hate it. it always makes me laugh.
