Last year, my brother and his little family joined us for Thanksgiving weekend. My niece, Livia was 8 months old. I was pregnant. I looked at Livia and though "one year from now, I will have a baby just like you!"
My mom joined us for Thanksgiving this year. She had a great visit with her grand-daughter. She fed Juniper a whole lot of frozen pumpkin. They laughed and cuddled. We took Juniper to the Farmer's Market. I always get so sad to see my mom go. Living 3 hours south of your parents is hard.
Juniper started crawling forward on Saturday after a couple weeks of going backwards. She sits up from crawling, spins herself around and launches herself at things she wants. She started drinking from a straw cup too! It is so amazing to see what she can do and how much she has grown.
We feasted too! Unlike a lot of my IG and facebook friends, I didn't take 50 pictures of my dinner. I was too busy cooking and eating. Our Thanksgiving menu was:
- herb crusted turkey
- sausage, mushroom and leek stuffing (the best I've made)
- lemon butter brussel sprouts (my favourite!)
- roasted root veggies
- smashed potatoes
- herb gravy
- pumpkin tiramisu
