Theo’s first Thanksgiving was a lot of fun. We went to my in-laws’ house where Theo enjoyed playing with his cousin and even got to sample some Thanksgiving dinner! We brought along some pureed peas and sweet potatoes for him to eat, and then I fed him a few tidbits off my plate. He loved mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce, and I even let him gum a hunk of turkey (with me holding onto it so he wouldn’t choke on it). I’ve been pretty careful about only feeding him one new food per week so we could easily identify any allergies or food sensitivities, but it was fun to “let loose” for one day (woo… look at me, going crazy). I figured since we’re doing things by the book every other day, it would be pretty easy to identify that it was something he ate that day if something affected him negatively. Thankfully, he did great.

We missed out on the first Thanksgiving, but looking forward to being there for his first Christmas!
