Baby's 1st Thanksgiving

Benjamin with Great Papaw Holder

With both Papaws & Christianna

Frying the turkey

Our spread...Including special dairy-free mashed potatoes, turkey, & stuffing for me plus dairy-free "butter" in all of the veggies

Spending time together.  It was also our 4th wedding anniversary on Thanksgiving.

Benjamin eating his own Thanksgiving food.  Cereal & breastmilk.  Mmmmm.

Ahem...Do not put a Bumbo on an elevated surface and walk away.  I know not to, but apparently some people in this world ignored the warning on the seat, and then complained when their child was injured which caused a recall of these great seats.  They are now labeled as "floor seats", btw.  

Picture time!  (See our new king size quilt & shams)

I hope everyone had a great day with plenty to be thankful for this year.

In his own words

This is what Benjamin is thankful for this year.

I love his chubby little leg rolls. ;)

But I wanted some turkey too!

4 years ago this day

God has blessed me with a wonderful man.  Happy anniversary Josh!

Happy birthday to me! (and Christianna)

I was very fortunate to spend my birthday at home today.  I'm officially 29 now.  

Christianna isn't far behind. She turns 2 on Saturday. ;)

We celebrated at Josh's Mamaw's on Sunday.  Those are dairy free spice cake cupcakes with icing made using coconut oil.  Maybe by next year I can have that rich chocolate cake that I actually wanted.  The cupcakes were actually quite good.

Christianna kept blowing the candle out before everyone sang to us.  It was very funny.

My child, look how he's grown.  He'll be as tall as Josh before we know it.

The years do fly by.  On this day last year I found out I was pregnant with Benjamin.  Thankful to have him here with me this year to celebrate!

4 months old today!

Wish I had more time to post, but I'll have to be happy with sharing a few pictures with you.

Recent events -- Benjamin started cereal, and he loves it!

And, you must check out the adorable chair that we got for him. :)

 

  

 

  

Happy Veteran's Day

Benjamin & I spent the weekend with my parents while Josh had a DNOW weekend with his teens.  We visited him on Friday & Saturday, and we are now happy to all be home from church today.

Benjamin enjoyed his stay with Grammy & PopPop minus some stomach issues on Saturday evening.  

I weighed him at breastfeeding group on Saturday, and fully clothed he is 15 lbs, 6.5 oz.

He'll be 4 months old on the 15th.  Time flies.
