McBride Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving 2007!


We had this year's McBride Thanksgiving at Willis' nursing home where we celebrated both his birthday and the Thanksgiving holiday. Cohen was in a great mood- luckily most holiday meals fit right in between his nap schedule and include a long car ride either way in which to take said nap. Therefore, we tend to get rather lucky. (if you look closely at the above picture, you can almost see all 5 teeth: three on the bottom and his top two front teeth)


Cohen's first pumpkin pie. Cohen had been eating some solid foods before this point but this Thanksgiving meal was probably the first meal in which he ate no baby food at all and only shared mommy's meal. He did a great job. Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberry jello, rolls and then pumpkin pie. I don't think I need to be worried that he didn't get enough to eat- he may have eaten more than I did!


Cohen really likes wheels. His toy car wheels, toy tractor wheels, his toy bug that has wheels...anything that he can turn over and spin it's wheels: he's pretty happy. Therefore, Uncle Willis' chair was pretty cool. Two giant shiny wheels that this big guy could play with anytime he wanted?!? Cohen was pretty sure it couldn't get any better than that!



Cohen, Will and Chablis playing on the floor. Will was such a good sport at letting the kids attack him. Chablis was pretty tough on him from the beginning but it took Cohen a bit to warm up. He kept sitting there watching and then looking at us as if to say, "Really? It's really okay to attack this guy? I don't know this guy? Are you sure, I mean, it looks like fun but, really?" And before long, he was right up there too, crawling all over Will and laughing like crazy.


And a picture of us...we are a part of this family too you know!!

Happy Holidays! Tune in soon for Cohen's first birthday celebration!
