Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope that you all enjoyed the holiday and celebrated with great family, friends, and lots of yummy food! Andrew and I celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday, and we did things a little differently this year. We usually spend the day with our family, however this year we decided to keep things a little low key and keep it just the three of us.

We started off the day by going to the Calgary Corn Maze and Farm Fest, and had a really great time! It was really fun to watch Nico experience some new things like go down a big slide (with either Andrew or myself), touch and play with the pumpkins, and see some different farm animals. He definitely seemed to enjoy himself!

Following the pumpkin patch, and after Nico’s afternoon nap, we enjoyed a really delicious Thanksgiving meal. On our menu was turkey, stuffing and gravy, sweet mashed potatoes, a mix of vegetables with cheese sauce, and some fresh garlic bread. So good!! Andrew is not a big fan of pumpkin pie, so instead we had some tasty chocolate croissant donuts. Yum! Nico is still not big into eating meat just yet, so he had a good size serving of sweet potatoes, which he ate right up!

After dinner, we went for nice family walk to the park nearby our house, where Nico tried the swing for the first time! He is still pretty small, so we used a blanket to help him sit in the swing. He absolutely loved it and smiled and laughed the whole time! His expressions were so sweet and moments like that are just so priceless and irreplaceable. Andrew and I live for those special moments.

We had such a great Thanksgiving weekend and I hope that all of you did as well! Here are some photos that highlight all of our fun! Enjoy!

Yum! The avocado is so good he even got some in his eyebrows! And he loves chewing on his bowl when he’s finished eating.

Nico’s First Taste of Cereal

Today was a very big day for my little man! Nico had his first experience with solid food, specifically rice cereal. As recommended, we waited until he was 6 months old before we introduced solids, and he was so ready to give it a try. The whole eating solid food for the first time experience was so amazing to watch. Nico made the funniest faces while tasting the cereal, and wasn’t quite sure what to make of it all. It was hard to tell whether or not he actually liked the taste, but it was obvious that he was definitely interested in what was happening. In addition to Nico tasting (and spitting out the cereal), we also let him play with his food to get familiar with it. He loved holding the spoon and bowl by himself and touching the cereal with his hands. He was so messy by the end of his meal and I am so excited to do it all over again tomorrow! Can’t wait to see the faces he will make!

Happy 6 Months to my Little Ghostbuster

I can’t believe that our baby is already 6 months old! These six months have flown by but they have without a doubt been the best months of our lives. Nico brings so much love, joy, and happiness to Andrew and me and we could not imagine what life would be like without him! He makes our hearts smile everyday and we are so looking forward to all of the new adventures and memories to come! We love you so much baby!
