Yesterday we had a wonderful Thanksgiving. First of all, we were sad not to see family this holiday but were VERY happy not to be traveling due to the winter weather of sleet/snow/wind on Wednesday evening. We invited some friends over for an organized Thanksgiving potluck meal with the idea that 90% of each food item's ingredients (by weight) would come from within 250 miles from here. We all found that you can find things, but it's a bit more pricey and a bit more difficult than just going to the grocery store. It was eye opening and quite amazing to realize that it's possible to have a pretty traditional meal with the food produced near us. Here's the table for 17 in our dining room/living room that's not really made for seating 17. It was very fun to have a full house of friends and a large spread of such wonderful food.
Thanksgiving morning was a big step for Henry. He had is first taste of solid food (rice cereal). Not such a big fan. He made some funny faces and really just wanted to chew on the spoon. Today's breakfast went a little better--but still very interested in the spoon. Here he is after his breakfast, wearing most of it on the bib.
On the topic of spoons, Henry loves to help us cook. He sits in his bumbo chair and watches all the shiny pans, bowls, and utensils move around him. Here he is playing with one of his favorite kitchen toys.
