I have been super slacking on the blog lately so I will get a few different posts up in the next day or two. Ali's first Thanksgiving was great - we had everyone (my parents, Jesse's parents, Molly and her boyfriend) at our house. We made the turkey, stuffing, gravy, and sweet potatoes. We tried a new recipe off Cook's Illustrated (GREAT recipes) for the turkey and the stuffing and they both turned out really well! The turkey was moist and flavorful and the stuffing as the best I have ever had - not too dry but not too greasy either.
Ali enjoyed her Thanksgiving dinner too - she had some turkey baby food, some of our mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes, and she even got to try a little pumpkin pie! She was entertaining everyone making faces and sticking her tongue out (I think she likes the feel of her new teeth!)
We notice Ali's second bottom tooth Thanksgiving morning. She is such a great teether - I tend to not even notice her getting a new tooth until I see or feel it once it is in! Here is Ali showing off her new teeth!
We had a great time with everyone and really enjoy hosting Thanksgiving at our house.
Ali turned 9 months old right before Thanksgiving - so hard to believe how grown up that is! So much more aware! Ali loves her toys and books now and one of her favorite games is to pull all the toys or books out of her boxes.
The hospital where Ali was born just opened a new Labor and Delivery wing and they gathered photos from anyone born at Lutheran for a new wall of photos - this is Ali checking out her picture that we submitted.
