Thanksgiving
My grandmother is in town from NY for Thanksgiving and everything has been wonderful. I offered to make a couple of dishes to help relieve some cooking stress her and my mom would have had if they had to make all that food. I made green bean casserole and sweet potato casserole. We called over to see if they had at least made some mashed potatoes, which they hadn’t. So my husband quickly whipped up homemade mashed potatoes which was delicious. He also made a really good dessert the nite before called “Chocolate Delight” and boy was it.
With the high chair up to the table at my moms, we said a prayer and dug in! Having a big spoonful of each dish we had, Shaughn also had on his plate some turkey, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and green beans. He was in food heaven! After we all stuffed our faces, it was time for naps! Well…. a nap for Shaughn and me! He very rarely naps past 4pm, but tonight he and I crashed out from 7pm til 9. Well, 9 is normally his bed time but that night we had to go visit our friends’ home who are pretty much our extended family. I’ve known my friend Peter for about 15 years through school so all of his family and siblings have become mine as well, and they are such wonderful people.
Before we left to go there, Shaughn was being silly and playful and all of a sudden just got up and stood up for the first time by himself! Now when you tell him to stand up, he does it for a couple of seconds before laughing and plopping down. We had helped stand him up in the past and he stayed like that. Then the other day he used a pillow instead of furniture to stand up, but on this day he didn’t need ANY help which was another “first”! Every new thing Shaughn learns is amazing and I can’t wait to see what’s next!
