Ava’s First Thanksgiving

November 23, 2012Daily PostMore from 2012

We spent Ava’s very first Thanksgiving with Nana and Papa, and had a wonderful spread of food. 🦃 Papa carved the turkey, the table was full of all our favorite dishes, and Ava got to sit right at the table with everyone in her Bumbo seat.

We ate, laughed, talked about old traditions, and soaked up every second with Ava—plenty of snuggles with Papa and playtime on the floor with Mom, too.

She’s also started making little motor-boat sounds with her lips, and two days ago she made her very first “ba” sound. We’re thrilled she’s starting to blend a consonant and a vowel already—go Ava! So much to be thankful for this year. ❤️
